They asked me before I paid for my medical whether I wanted DS-3025 or not. I said that i wanted one, so I had to pay $20 extra for it. The Embassy doesn't care about vaccinations, that's why they're not giving it to everybody, you need to tell them that you need this form.

We went ahead and just sent DS-3025. Me and hubby decided that if we receive RFE, we'll go to a CS, but we're not going until we have to.

Thanks, Ona, we're getting a clearer picture now. I contacted another Civil Surgeon in Pensacola, FL, and the nice lady there told me all that I needed to know, including when was the best time to just show up at the Doctor's office. We will only have to complete the vaccination section forms, show them our documentation, and the Doctor will sign it. No charge.

How cool is that? Quite a different response than from the beaurocrat I spoke with in Panama City.

My wife and stepson did not receive a DS-3025 at their medical exam in Moscow in June of this year. All they got was the sealed package that they gave to the (apparently extremely rude) immigration officer in Houston. I have their vaccination records, translated. I called a local civil surgeon this morning, and she told me to take the vaccination records to the local health department for verification, and then call for an appointment. She told me that they would both have to have a complete physical again. I told her it was not required because they had it in Moscow, but she told me "Sorry, that's just the way it is". I don't know whether to just pay the bribe and move on, or what.

Was my wife supposed to receive a DS-3025 when they got the exams in Moscow?

Do we fill that out, or the civil surgeon?
