Locating civil surgeon. Filing AOS with husbands k1/i-94 expiring in a couple of weeks.

[mrandmrsadrien 0]

Hello all,

When my husband received his medical for

The k1 visa, the paper he received said applicant will receive vaccines in the US. Well, we just married 2 weeks ago and are now 2 weeks away from the visa expiring and I feel that we are running up against the clock in order to have everything completed in time. What are the cons if we run out of time getting everything together for his AOS before everything is together? How do we go about locating a civil surgeon for these vaccines? Do we have a round about cost for the vaccines and what he may need? Cons to not getting the vaccines before submitting the AOS? I know everything needs to be together, just curious on the best way to go about getting everything done. Thank you all for your help ?

You can have the shots given anywhere (recommend the local health department). The CS transcribes the shot records, seals the record, and gives it to you to submit. If you fail to submit it with the initial filing you will receive an RFE.

Just to note the visa expired when your husband entered the USA. As long as you were married within 90 days, you have time to file the AOS. His I-94 expires 90 days after entry to the USA, so technically he's deportable but I've never heard of that happening. People are generally just told to do the AOS asap. So don't rush if you don't need to.

Thank you. Are there any specific shots he needs or do they just issue them all?

Thank you!! I haven't found a lot of advice about that and started getting nervous because I felt they didn't give you a whole lot of Time between getting married and getting all of the appropriate things needed. Do we run any risk of waiting too long?

Just that it'll take longer to get the EAD/AP and green card.

No matter what you do it takes 60-90 days to get the EAD.
