Change of status - vaccinations

[alvarompl 0]

Hi everyone,

We have gone through the process of the K1 visa, i am currently in the US and we already got married!! i am currently filling all the forms for the change of status and a question came up...

i didn't get all the vaccinations on mexico city, i asked some civil surgeons and they say that if i want only the vaccinations i need to bring a copy of the form I-693, however the doctor didn't give me a copy of that, i only got the sealed package for the interview.

do i have to go to get a full medical exam again and get the vaccinations? im really confused on this....

Was your medical exam within the past year?

Do you have the DS3025 from your medical exam?

Hi LeonessDion,

Oh that's unfortunate. I made sure my then fiancé didn't leave without his.

WITH the ds3025 is that all we need?

People that go through Juarez get no vaccinations or a properly filled out DS-3025, since the clinics there tend to refuse to give vaccinations to K-1 applicants. Well, sometimes they give a useless blank one.

OP> You need to tell the civil surgeons that you call that you are adjusting from a K-1 and do not have an I-693. You had your medical abroad from a panel physician and do not have a copy of it. Let them know you only need the missing vaccinations and parts filled out by the civil surgeon for a K-1 adjustment applicant, per the I-693 instructions, and do not require a new medical exam. You may have to print out and show them the instructions, and you may need to call around to quite a few civil surgeons and even drive further out of your way.
