Dundee, this thread is for findings and recommendations, rather than for questions. :) 

Try a general Internet search, such as "San Bernardino civil surgeons," and let us know whom you go with.

Just transcribed vaccines - $95. Don't know if we were lucky, but got a next day appointment

 

He wasn't familiar with K-1s needing just vaccine transcriptions but after reading the I-693 instructions did it.

I called and called and called what seems like every civil surgeon in the area and all of them wanted to make my husband redo the entire medical exam. I finally found one who would do it for us. We still had to pay the appointment fee and the form fee ($160 total), but it beats having to pay upwards of $500 for the whole medical. The doctors information is below:

 

Dr. Isaac Watemberg

1307 8th ave #106 

Fort Worth, tx 76104

 

Alternatively, I also found this doctor willing to do it, but their office was further:

 

Kelly Wimberly

17101 Preston rd #200

Dallas, TX 75248

 

 

My poor husband didn’t understand me when I told him to get all the vaccines done at the medical in his country. This has been a mess, but we are finally ready to file for AOS! Good luck to everyone :)

An excellent post for this thread has been moved from the K-1 forum and merged here.  This is precisely the kind of information that applicants for Adjustment need and appreciate.

 

The best way to use this thread is to start from the last page and work backward.  Note that the purpose of this thread is to provide information, not ask for it. :)

Dr Gary Johnson

775-982-1000

745 W Moana Lane Suite 170 Box 2

Reno NV

 

$175 for a medical here.

None of the staff were aware of only needing to fill the vaccination part for a K-1 with a recent medical, but happily did it after I showed them the instructions on the form.

Picked up paperwork the day after appointment
