POE took my brown envelope

[Rachel n Tyler 36]

Hi friends!!

Just making sure, are they supposed to not give it back? I know it has a copy of my medical, which I thought I needed for the next medical step for the 485, but I asked and they said they keep it.

Yes, that’s correct, they’re supposed to take it.

They keep it and then forward it to USCIS to add to your A-File. You should have received a DS-3025 "Vaccination Documentation Worksheet" from the Panel Physician who performed your medical exam overseas. You would include a copy of this with your I-485 in order to remind the Adjudicator from USCIS that you had your medical done before visa issuance and to look for it in your A-File.

Interesting, where would I have received that? All I got at my medical was basically the bill and an overview of what was done I think

It should have been given to you by the medical provider at the completion of your medical exam. Look at all the things they gave you at the medical provider and see if there is a DS-3025 "U.S. Department of State Vaccination Documentation Worksheet".

Just grabbed my pile of documents, all I have is the bill and the file I needed at the X-ray place, nothing like that.. (oh and my CD with the xrays)

I'm not sure if it matters, considering I needed to get another dose of hep a-b anyway, should I contact anyone for it?

Hep-B is one of the vaccines that get a blanket waiver because there is not time to do both doses. USCIS is supposed to honor that blanket waiver. Personally, I would not pay the hundreds of dollars to go get another medical done unless they issue an RFE for it during your AOS application. They should have your whole medical file, including the vaccine info in your A-File and should not require another one.

Yeah I was worried about that, they told me on here that the person doing the medical could cross something on there that would state that there was no time (I got my 2nd dose end of Aug, so I'd get my next one January, but I have until January 31st to file so it doesn't really match up)

If you did your medical at the IHCH, you can e-mail them and they will send you the DS-3025 to you digitally. That's what I did for mine.
