There are lots of Civil Surgeons in the Newark area. You need to bring the Vaccination Worksheet and ask them to transfer the information to the I-693A, which only a Civil Surgeon in the U.S. can fill out.

We had a shock on Sunday in Morristown, NJ when the Surgeon questioned the validity of the Worksheet! Luckily he filled out the form but we had to fax him records from Toronto showing that certain vaccinations had been received. (As if someone could forge a medical and get a visa fraudulently ???)

He kept referring to the INS so I knew he was old school ... from a time when local offices handled AOS and a full medical was required. K visas are relatively new (2001?) so these old timers don't get it ... that we already had a medical and just need a supplement. "Do not collect $200!"

Ok, thanks for replying.

The vaccination worksheet is in the envelope they handed back to me at immigration?

If you have it, it's from your medical.

I called many of the Civil surgeons in the Snohomish county in Washington and most didn't know what I wanted. When I went to one clinic in Mount Vernon they would do it for me but charged me the $250 regardless of the fact that they did not perform the full physical. They said its the same fee whether or not you get the physical done or just get the supplement filled out.

So in my opinion its a crapshoot based on each specific surgeon's clinic.

I'm surprised they gave you back your sealed medical at the POE. I thought it went to USCIS to be kept in your file.

Many doctors give people a copy of the Vaccination Worksheet at the medical, knowing they'll need it later. If you did not receive one, try calling the U.K. and getting a duplicate mailed or faxed. Take it to a U.S. Civil Surgeon and get it transcribed.

I just paid $200 for mine and i'm pretty annoyed. Knightsbridge Drs in the UK gave me a copy of my vaccination record but it wasn't the same form as the I-693 and it wasn't an original in a sealed envelop so i had to go through the whole thing again.
