Certificates of Conviction for AOS

[Kez/JWolf 6]

Wow what a fuss over a shot that costs $15 at the local clinic.... as far as I see I would rather send that amount and not have the hassle from USCIS and be with my husband than make a fuss and make things harder.....

Hope your test comes back and showes he has had them... Just hope he is not like a poster on another forum that had chicken pox as a child but only a mild dose and the test came back showing the levels were not high enough... so he had to have the shot in the end and pay for both...

Kezzie, I appreciate your concern but the fact of the matter is that I would rather pay for both than jeopardize my husband's health by taking the easy way out and getting him a vaccine that could very well make him sick. What is the point of doing that when a titer would prove that he has enough chickenpox antibodies?

Again, I thank you for your input, but I disagree on the fact that I should just get him the vaccine and get it over with.

*********************************************

We've got the vaccine thing settled now, anyone have anymore input on the certificates of conviction? I suppose we could simply include them in the AOS packet for good measure, however if they are not truly needed, then it would probably look a little better for him if we did not include them. I mean, they know about them anyway because he gave them to the K-1 interviewer. Just wondering if anyone has any personal experience regarding this matter.

My advice is to get the vaccinations and to comply with the requirements.

And yet again, I will state that Aidan has had all vaccinations (therefore complying with the requirements) except the varicella vaccine. The varicella vaccine was classified in along with two other vaccines that were merely recommendations. I was simply asking what to do in this specific circumstance, since he has already had chickenpox and therefore should not be required to get the vaccine. Many people here have already stated that they were not required to get the varicella vaccine because they have already had Chickenpox. And they were still complying with the requirements. Therefore, I was wondering if Aidan and I would be able to do the same.

We have decided to get the titre, which will prove that he has had chickenpox, resulting in him not having to have a needless vaccine. All while still complying with the requirements. Because I'm cool like that. B)

Good luck. I'm not a civil surgeon or do I work for the USCIS. Just trying to give you links to good info.

Thank you. If I seemed short in any of my comments, it truly was not directed towards you. We all have differing opinions, and that's what makes life interesting! I do thank you for your input, and realize it was well-intended.

I really don't know about the convictions. Have you managed to find anyone else that has had a similar situation by doing a search on the forums? It might be worth tossing the question into off-topic or whatnot too.

Personally, I would include the criminal record information so that it's up front. If necessary, include an additional letter stating he was acquitted or whatever have you. It's probably better to be upfront now than have it come up in an interview as an uncomfortable line of questioning and possibly a reason for your case to be delayed by the reviewing officer.

Thanks Autumnal. We're going to include the Certificates of Conviction just in case they have any questions about it. I think we'll be fine...I mean, they wouldn't have let him pass the K-1 interview only to be denied AOS, right?
