Hi,

just to confirm...TB skin test and TD shot can be done with a local doctor and not necessarily to a civil surgeon? civil surgeon is only seek for the transcription of records?

thanks.

That is correct. I had my TD shots in our city health department for free but I had to pay $25 for the TB skin test. Be sure to have these recorded. They will give you a vaccination booklet (I have one from them). Civil Surgeon is the one who will transfer all your vaccination records. I must warn you... since we came from the Philippines where we had BCG shots when we were kids, it is possible that you are positive of TB (I am) because of the anti-bodies. They might insist to have you treated so better bring your X-ray film the day that they will read the TB skin test. That way, you have a proof that you don't have TB and your lungs are healthy, according to the chest X-ray you had in the Philippines. That could save you a lot. Same thing with the Civil Surgeon. Some (or most) of them will insist that you do the entire medical so you have to be firm that you only need the I-693a and that you had the medical at St. Lukes and all the documents were forwarded to DHS when you turned in the yellow envelope at POE. The PE we had during K1 process is valid for 12 mos. so no need to redo the entire physical.

Good luck!

Awwww...that would have been so nice! I guess it probably happened that way for a reason anyway as I had a recent back injury this past Saturday and have been down in bed ever since. Just now starting to get up and move a bit. We would have been stuck at the house, but it still would have been nice to meet up.

Thank God for my loving wife who has been here taking care of my every need. You never realize how much you use your back muscles until it hurts so bad you can't use them. Mir has such a giving heart and she is truly the love of my life! Can't tell her enough how much I love her.

Anyways....I am sure another time will present itself to meet up with you and Byron.

Take care and God Bless you and your family.
