Another Question About DS-3025/I-693

[bluecat 0]

Hello everyone, I have tried scouring the site for someone who has been in a similar situation but wasn't too successful, so I apologize in advance if I missed another thread with an identical question.

 

Applying for AoS, K1 visa. I am reviewing my now-wife's DS-3025 and it is marked "K Visa applicant voluntarily completed vaccination requirements". However, the MMR vaccine, the hepatitis B vaccine and the COVID-19 vaccines are marked with the letter "D" in the blanket waiver column as they were unavailable in her home country. I am not as worried about the COVID-19 requirements given the recent updates I have read on the USCIS website. But for the others does this mean that the DS-3025 was not "properly completed", aka does she now need to get these vaccinations through a civil surgeon and subsequently submit a partial I-693? Or can we submit the DS-3025 as is?

 

Thanks in advance for any advice/guidance. Can provide more information if needed.

AFAIK this should be OK then. But others can correct me.

A WAIVER is a REASON/EXCUSE that you do NOT have to meet the one dose requirement at the time of the abroad exam. A waiver for everything or anything MAKES your exam complete.

No.

No. Any further vaccines would be a personal choice and certainly not through a CS.

You do NOT submit THE DS3025.

Your original medical exam was inside your visa envelope and collected at POE to be transferred to your AFile for storage until adjudicated.

You submit a PHOTOCOPY of your D3025 with your I485 as a REMINDER to your adjudicator who likely adjudicates very few K1 I485s, that you are a K1 exempt of submitting an I693 and that need to look in your Afile for your medical exam 

Your PERSONAL DS3025 should be photocopied AGAIN and brought to the interview with your PERSONAL copy to remind your adjudicator again if necessary.

As others have said, you can submit a copy of the DS-3025 with your AOS to get the process rolling.

USCIS may or may not ask for an I-693 RFE later.

If you do receive the RFE, you take a copy of the DS-3025 to a US Civil Surgeon for the I-693 medical and the doctor will determine the course of action.

Understood, so should be good to go submitting a copy of the DS-3025 as is without any need for I-693. I really appreciate it. 
 

As soon as I get home I’ll work on updating our timeline!

Got it that makes sense. Hopefully the copy of the DS-3025 will be sufficient. Thanks!
