copy of medical records from St Lukes

[Shane & Len 11]

This may be the wrong forum for this question, but I can't find any other that seems more logical.

Has anyone ever needed to acquire their immigration medical records after moving to the U.S.

 

My son needs proof (the blood work) of being TB free. 

Yes, I know it is easy to do here as well, except that he is terrified - and I mean terrified of needles.

The school says they have to have it since he was in PH within the last 12 months.

St. Lukes says they can not share the information, but there must be some way for a person to get a copy of their own records.

 

Any insights into what it may take would be appreciated.

Thanks

contact USCIS, but don't expect to receive a copy of the child's medical .. still that is your only hope of getting a copy.

Yes, we tried submitting that as proof, but it wasn't sufficient.  They insist on blood work.

Thanks, will look into that. Fingers crossed.

Saint Luke's gave us a copy of the transcribed immunization record for our son that included a small piece of paper that described the results of his TB test reading. We used that to enroll our son in school. Did they not give you that?

Yes, we have that and it worked fine getting him into high school.  The state university however, wants more than just the vaccination record - it wants TB blood work.  That, although performed and passed, is not part of the vaccination record.   Hoping against hope that USCIS will be able to provide something.

Thanks for all the suggestions!
