Vaccination Requirement Question

[moes998 2]

My wife completed a medical exam in China before arriving on her K1 Visa. We were recently married and getting ready to submit our adjustment of status paperwork.

 

When she completed the medical exam, they did not provide her the DS-3025.

 

She had one MMR Dose, one Varicella does, and for some reason was not given Tdap. 

 

I'm not sure the best way to go about fixing this. I'm not sure how we can get a completed DS-3025 form with the new vaccines, if we do not have the old copy. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Including the DS-3025 in your AOS packet is a requirement, so you must contact the facility where the medical examination was performed And ask them to send at least a pdf of it. Otherwise, she'll need to find a civil surgeon in the US willing to fill out just the vaccination records. Worst case scenario: she'll need to go through the whole medical examination again.

Thank you, We will try calling them for a copy. that being said, even if we are able to get a copy, how should we go about having the rest of the vaccines completed? I guess we would receive an RFE based on the current DS-3025, since the vaccine series was not completed.

You would need to go to a civil surgeon in the US to complete the file.

If the copy you get is marked as complete, you won't need extra vaccinations. Tdap was not applied likely because it was not available therefore waived.

Just wait until you get the copy to see if it's marked complete before you begin to worry.

Panel physicians are required to give you a personal copy as outlined by CDC guidelines.

They should have no problem emailing you one as it's their obligation.

I was mistaken in my initial post- we found the DS-3025, it's not marked as complete.

 

So now.. I made an appointment with a civil surgeon here, because the secretary said he would agree to the transcription.

At the appointment, he wrote the part 10 info on i693, but refused to sign his name because he didn't complete a full exam.

 

He did give a signed vaccine administration record, which also gives a breakdown of all vaccines.

At this point, is this ok to send with our package? Thanks

The whole medical is in the package your wife surrendered to CBP when entering the US. I would send both the DS-3025 from abroad plus the signed vaccination record from here.

 

But let's wait for other members to share their opinion/suggestions/advice.

Just to be sure it is not compete, please upload an image of the DS-3025 with the personal info concealed.

So the DS-3025 is actually blank and at the bottom the checked box says "K Visa applicant electing not to be vaccinated at this examination"
