I love Sunshine Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 (edited) Today Sunshine and I went to a local civil surgeon who was willing to fill out the I-693A supplement form without the normal push to get a full physical for $25. It took plenty of calling around here in Phoenix. This is despite the information on page 4 of the I-485 instructions that says K-1's who have had their physical less than a year ago only need the supplement. By the way, the I-693 A supplemental form can be found here: http://www.cdc.gov/NCIDOD/dq/pdf/ti-03/appdx-a_693vacc.pdf Sunshine had 2 of the 3 Hepatitis B injections in China, but the Civil Surgeon indicated that she needed all 3. Her 3rd injection has to occur at least 6 months after her 2nd, so is not due until this April. The doctor mentioned that he will check the box saying Hepatitis B is incomplete and mentioned we will have to return in April. "Not true" said Sunshine. The Civil Surgeon mentioned that they received the information as of January 1 of this year. Sunshine said many others she spoke with on 001 didn't need the Hepatitis B shot -- she has the other 3 injections that are required and did the Hep B series only for prevention. Has anyone heard anything about this new requirement? Or was this a squeeze put on us by the civil surgeon to shake our pockets a bit more?

warpedbored Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Keep in mind that our case is almost 4 years old but I don't think it has changed. My wife also got all of her required shots in China and there were some booster shots she was told she should get later. We didn't bother with them since everything was up to date when we filed. We had no problems what so ever. Link to comment

I believe others have turned it in this way without any problem. Link to comment

Don Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/diseases/hepatit...aqb.htm#vaccine I am going by my memory, but i think the form has age requirements. Sunshine might be young enough to need the shots. Ping did not need the Hep B. Link to comment
jim_julian Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 I believe the right answer is that it is left to the doctor's medical discretion as to whether to be insistent that all shot series are complete. Most do not interpret that this needs to be done. If you don't like the answer find another CS. Link to comment
IllinoisDave Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Our CS insisted Christine get the final booster shot here. (Not sure for which one) He was from Taiwan, he spoke Mandarin,she trusted him so she got the booster. The only inconvenience it caused was we had to wait about a week until the time limit ran out from the first set of shots in China. Link to comment
