Medical and vaccination to include in the AOS packet

[Elle&Kyle 10]

Hi everyone!

Im having confusion about the medical and vaccination forms that i should include with my packet. I came in the US with a K1 visa from the Philippines on the 20th of December 2014. Me and my husband are currently working on gathering all of the requirements to submit with my AOS application. I still have other questions about the affidavit of support and stuff, but ill read more about it first, i might find answers to some of it, but i want to clear the medical first. I have my DS-3025 from St. Luke's, it says "US vaccination requirement COMPLETE (Requesting a blanket waiver) ". All of my shots except for Td and influenza are marked A. The Td is marked B which means "insufficient time interval to xomplete the series" and the influenza is marked F which means "not flu season". My medical was dated November 21, 2014.

My question is, since it says that "US vaccination requirement COMPLETE", can we just send a copy of this form or do i need to send the original copy of this? I only have one copy and it says i will be required to present this upon change of status, enrollment in school and application for work in the USA. Or should i still see a civil surgeon to get the I-693?

I hope someone can clear this for us. Thank you in advance

You need to get the flu shot. Your medical was during flu season, so Influenza was incorrectly marked on your DS-3025. You will also need to see a civil surgeon to have your vaccinations transcribed onto the I-693 form. You will need to submit the I-693 with your AOS application.

Zedayn, thanks! Okay, ill go see a civil surgeon to get my vaccination transcribed to I-693 form. Do i need to print that form and bring it with me to the civil surgeon or they have that there? And i only need them to transcribed my vaccinations not another medical or full medical exam/evaluation, right? Thank you

Okay, and also, the St. Luke's marked it incorrectly? Wonder why would they do that, or how could they missed that or maybe they just didnt care at all? Hm :/

I have another question, hm. Does it matter if we file the AOS before or after my husband file his 2014 taxes? Thank you..

I don't know if the civil surgeon would have that form or not. I would print it out and bring it with you. No you do not need a new medical exam, all you need are your vaccinations transcribed from the DS-3025 AND the flu shot you will receive onto the I-693 form. You do not need to get the flu shot at the civil surgeon, you can get it anywhere and just bring proof that you received it with you to the civil surgeon.

I have no idea why they would not mark it correctly.

It does not matter when you file your AOS, however it is recommended to file as soon as you are able to. So yes you can wait until your husband files his 2014 taxes.

I have the same marked with OP. I had my medical in St. Lukes on November 17th and my DS-3025 says US Vaccination requirements COMPLETE, but Td was marked as B (which means Insufficient time interval to complete series), Varicella vaccine marked as D (which means not routinely available) and Influenza marked as F (which means not flu season).

I had my flu vaccine Aug 25th (i have annual vaccination). And I brought my record to St. Lukes but the doctor never asked me anything about my vaccination history. My question is, do I still need to get Td, flu and varicella shots?

My husband enrolled me to his medical insurance, do I need to see a civil surgeon or can I get those shots with my doctor and have her to get my vaccinations transcribed onto the I-693 form?
