DS-3025: missing MMR jab at time of exam, later administered privately at home. What now for AOS?

[Alchanphel 14]

Hi all,

 

I'm a K-1 visa holder from the UK. I entered the US in July, got married to my US citizen spouse in August, and am currently preparing to submit my AOS packet.

 

At my K-1 medical exam in London (May 2021), I passed the overall medical but was missing a 2nd MMR jab from my vaccinations record. Annoyingly they refused to provide it to me that day as I had my 2nd COVID jab a few days earlier!

 

Instead my DS-3025 form was marked "K visa applicant electing not to be vaccinated at this examination", and I had the missing MMR jab administered before leaving the UK in July. I have a record of this vaccine being provided by the clinic, and I also had it transcribed to my official UK medical history records before leaving.

 

I'm now confused about what this means for my AOS submission. Can I include the DS-3025 and proof that I received the missing shot? Will this be accepted or lead to problems down the road?

 

Any advice greatly appreciated!

You may need the vaccination record transcribed by a Civil Surgeon on Form I-693:

"do simple transcription and sign I-693"

Thank you for the informative reply!

 

One continuing source of confusion for me is that I don't have a I-693 form, as that is with USCIS (right?). All I have is the incomplete DS-3025. So how can I therefore get a civil surgeon to transcribe it for me?

It can be downloaded on USCIS.gov: https://www.uscis.gov/i-693

 

https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-693instr.pdf "Even if a new medical examination is not required, you must still show proof that you complied with the vaccination requirements. If the vaccination record (DS 3025) was not properly completed and included as part of the original overseas medical examination report, you will need to have the Part 10. Vaccination Record completed by a designated civil surgeon. In this case, you must submit Parts 1. - 5., 7., and 10. of Form I-693."
