That's some scary sh!t right there!

I think the confusion could be that perhaps the airline isn't informed as to the visa? He doesn't have to get any shots just to show the visa and all should be fine.

do you mean though that someone landed in the US and they sent him back to Cairo because it was a oneway ticket? That would seriously suck.

congratulation onder

the vaccisnation that they talk about , that when he done his medical examination she should take some certain shots and they already give me copy of it to show it at the airport so he should have that if not i think he can go back to the hospital that he had the medical in and ask for it

good luck

Since he is technically a non-immigrant visa with a 90 day expiration, he needs a round trip ticket. He does need vaccinations..but would have had them at the medical. I've spoken to only nice people in the airport and only ever had good experiences as had my SO. Just make sure he has everything in hand. His passport, tickets, military permission to travel (if under 30) and his medical records and the copy of his vaccination record, just in case. My SO is flying this Sunday...I'll let you know how it goes...Congratulations...

But the vaccination records are in the sealed envelope that does not get opened until you hit the USA, so how would he be able to show them to the people at the Cairo airport?

A copy is given at the medical. My SO recieved one and last time i flew home through jfk...i saw many with the same paper in their hands in addition to the sealed envelope. Its a form that can be given so it can be reviewed by a medical person here in the usa...and certified so he doesn't have to redo medical with AOS.

they supose they gave him copy of it stapmed by the hospital to give to the airport

[doodlebugg 10]

The hospital refused to give my husband a copy and told him it was secret information.

[mohamed N melinda 0]

he can get new vaccination only from the same hospital and pay for it

[doodlebugg 10]

he can get new vaccination only from the same hospital and pay for it

that's very dangerous depending on the vaccination.

i'm wondering if the k-3 rules are different since i have never heard of a k-3 needing a medical report at the airport

[Nagishkaw 510]

I think the form in question is the Appendix A Supplemental Form to I-693 or else it is the Vaccination Documentation work sheet. I had my Fiance take a copy to his medical so he would have proof of vaccinations at AOS.

I have read all about this and here is the scoop. If you are K-1, you do not need the vaccinations NOW. You can get

them later in the US when you apply for AOS. I told Ahmed to go ahead and get them in Egypt because it

is probably cheaper there. The physician kept his medical form and put it in an envelope.....that is the I-693 I think.

The supplement form I-693A is the vaccination sheet.

If it is within a year of getting the medical exam when you apply for AOS, then you don't have to get another medical exam, just give them a copy of the I-693A. Ahmed has a copy of that from the doctor.

SO once again, you do not need vaccinations until you get here and apply for AOS.

BUT if you want to be ahead of the game, then get them in Egypt and ask for a copy of that vaccination record.

The shots made Ahmed sick for a couple of days..........probably the tetanus-diphtheria vaccine.

I think the airport guys don't know what the heck they are talking about.

Personally from what I have seen, I would avoid flying out on Egypt Air and go Air France or Lufthansa........

there seems to be no problems with those. It's Egypt Air and the red tape and lack of knowledge.

Someone on here bought a one way on expedia and had no problem with K-1.

It depends on what airline and who is checking you in.............that's the problem.

Haven't ever heard of anyone ever being turned away in the US at the point of entry.
