K1 AOS - need for civil surgeon for i-693?

[renatesol 13]

Hi!

I'm now embarking on the wonderful adventure that is filing AOS paperwork... I have a question that maybe some of you can shed a light on:

For the i-693, I keep reading conflicting information about whether or not I need to see a civil surgeon to get the form filled out and given to me in a sealed envelope. I completed my medical examination with all vaccinations prior to my K1 interview. The vaccination form (DS-3025) is checked for "US vaccination requirements COMPLETE (requesting a blanket waiver)". I also have a copy of the DS-2054.

Do I still need the i-693 completed by a civil surgeon, or am I good to just send in my paperwork completed only by myself? I've read the guides and searched the forums, but like I said, the information seems to be a bit conflicting...

ETA: My DS-3025 was completed by the panel physician on April 8. 2015.

Double check your DS-3025 that you have marked on there Tdap, MMR and varicella.

Other than that, yes just include a copy of the DS-3025 with your AOS. No need for the I-693.

All we submitted was the DS-3025 as well, and we were approved without ever needing the I-693. We were just approved a few weeks ago.

Hello po! I am now wondering I only got 2 vaccine from St Lukes. Do you think we will get RFE and they will require us to see a civil surgeon? Hope not Thank you so much

It depends on what is shown on your DS-3025. You will get an RFE if you are missing the required vaccinations for AOS, which for most adults is: MMR, Tdap, Varicella. Flu shot is also required if your medical was during flu season.

hi I have the same problem. We have not received vaccinations in the Philippines for some reasons that the children have bleeding disorders and I got scar on my lungs, thats what they said. Do I need to be vaccinated somewhere else and then proceed to civil surgeon nearby and make them transcribe my I 693?
