Form I-693 for K1/K2 visa Adjustment of Status

[Kams&Bebs 0]

Good Day! Kinda new here but most of the information on how to process for my now wife's and step daughter's K1 and K2 are from visajourney and it's forums.

I hope someone can help us with some of our questions in regards to Form I-693. I'll try to keep it short as we appreciate the time of everybody that helps here

So my wife and her daughter arrived here last Nov with K1 and K2 visas, got married this Dec and got Marriage Certificate, got SSN for wife, went to County Health Center for TB/Infectious disease clearance per Health Regulations, and are now prepping forms we need for AOS I-485.

My question is do I need to go to a Civil Surgeon and pay $$$ and have them transcribe their DS 3025 (Vaccination Documentation Worksheet) from the Panel Physicians from the Philippines, to Part 7 of the I-693 (per instructions) and send it together with I-485? Or should I just send them a copy of the DS 3025 together with the I-485 since they did the Medical Examination and Vaccinations in the Philippines?

I read from an old post (12/18/2007) here at visajourney (http://www.visajourn...3025/?p=1429941) that, "If you received a copy of the Vaccination Documentation Worksheet (Form DS-3025) from your Panel Physician, you may include a copy of that form in your AOS submission in place of Form I-693". Is this still current/true?

Thanks much!

Off topic question:

Can I enroll my 11yr old step daughter to school even though she's still under K2 visa, technically a visitor visa?

There is a current topic pinned at the top of the AOS forum about the medical/vaccinations > http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/551080-immunizations-ds-3025-or-i-693/

~ Moved from AOS from Family Based Case Filing and Progress Reports sub-forum to main forum ~

When we went through Adjustment of Status the Vaccination documentation worksheet was submitted and accepted. That was several years ago.

We are in similar situations. My wife came in on a K-1 and we married in November. Her son is on a K-2 and will join us in a few months.

We went to a Civil Surgeon since we did not have the vaccinations overseas. Most of the Civil Surgeons we talked to wanted to extort us saying that they had to re do the whole physical. We found one that would not accept insurance (wanted big dollars for vaccinations) for the vaccination, but would do the verification for $190. So I got my wife on my insurance (they totally covered the vaccinations) and got an appointment with my personal doctor since he would give them for no cost since they were ordinary and customary and billed the insurance company. I had my personal doctor provide documentation for the vaccinations for the Civil Surgeon. On the instructions for I-693 there is a specific section on page 6 and 7 and describes what you need to do. We and the Civil Surgeon filled out the sections listed in the instructions and the Civil Surgeon verified all the vaccines we did. We have sent in our AOS and so far so good.

As to the K-2 with your 11 year old child, we have the same issue having to bring in my wife's son in March 2016. We first are going to get him the required vaccinations days after his arrival in order to enroll, but you will find that most school districts are used to handling immigrants today with and without proper visas. They look more for residence for you and your wife. You will likely be filing an AOS for the child very soon so they will suffice the documentation beyond the K-2. You will likely need to do the I-693 bit again for your daughter for the AOS for her.

Thank you all so much for all the information. KayDeeCee, I have yet to fully read all the information on that pinned topic with all the holidays going on, but thank you for that.
