Vaccine requirements, husband from Morocco

[VictoriaUSA 0]

Hello. We are about the send the I-485 and my husband had his medical exam in Morocco. He turned over the envelope when he was admitted to the country which I know is supposed to go to immigration so he doesn't have to do another medical exam; however, I did ask him if he got vaccinations when he did his medical stuff. He said he did but we don't have a copy of what he actually received.

Do we need to get all the vaccinations again for him as listed on the I-693, or does anyone know if Morocco gives all that's required? We don't want to wait around trying to track down the information so we're thinking of having him just get all again, but it'd be nice to know if he needs them or not.

Which vaccinations required is determined by age and sex.

Typically:

• MMR
• Varicella
• Tetanus and diphtheria toxoids

Get them redone or tested for (titer test), then present the vaccination record or test results to a US Civil Surgeon for transcribing to the I-693.

DO NOT let the US C.S. try to do a FULL medical again, IT IS NOT REQUIRED for K-Visa holders.

Hi!

Here's the USCIS document on the new vaccine/TB skin test requirements. Note that you do not need them...

Here are the impt dates from that website.

Do not let the CS try to get you to pay more for the transcription than needed. They may try to get you to pay for a new medical. You do not need one. They may try to get your husband to get all the new vaccines. You do not need them.

Go with copies of all the printed documents. The I-693 instructions and the print out of the website that I gave you above.

Here are the I-693 instructions.

Do you have a copy of the DS-3025 (the vaccine list) that the doctor did when you got the medical exam? That should save you some time on getting tested for immunity.
