What is the name of your state? Rhode Island

I am a British citizen applying for AOS thru marriage. I am finding it difficult to obtain Vaccination records. I know I had them all as a child at school in the Uk, but can't find the paper records. Is it essential to have written records to take with you to the medical exam. There are waiviers but they don't seem to cover this. Appreciate any advice.
Many thanks.

When I went for my medical exam, I brought a signed piece of paper from my family doctor with the dates of my vaccinations, not any originals. It sufficed.

Or, you could just get all the vaccinations again when you go for the physical exam. That's what my spouse did, as it was quicker and easier then trying to track down medical records from another country when she was a child.

The rates they charge for the physical exam and immunizations vary from place to place, so you can call around and get the best price. The medical exam with all immunizations should be around $250-300.

Indiana Jones- are you serious about the cost only being $250-300? I was told (by a Swede) that they were around $1000! :eek: (he said when he came over in the early 90's it was about $500 then)


Brit51- have you had yours yet, and if so, what was the cost (in £)? My fiance hails from the Newcastle area, and will at some point have to go through the same thing- so I thought I would get a "heads up" on the cost...

Thanks in advance, y'all!

Thanks, melaniee- I'm assuming that you hail from the UK?...

I must admit, I was quite freaked out by the "$1000" quote- my fiance and I are only rich by third-world standards! :eek:

(whew!)

beffkin, your fiance's interview will be in the UK, so it will be different. Appears the cost is £179 from Nuffield, the designated surgeons.

US medical-takers should definitely shop around.. prices vary -widely-.
Also, not having your vaccine record should not be a problem, most people do not have this info. The Panel Doc will interview you as to where you were born/grew up and your age and make a determination of which shots you require.

Thanks, O Wise One. £179 is a LOT better than $1000- certainly more affordable!
Start saving anyway :)
Adjustment of Status/AOS for a K-1 will be about $1000 once he gets here, and there will be a period of several months before he gets employment authorization and will have to be unemployed. Not to mention the cost of the wedding! ;)

My spouse's immigration cost us close to $3000. Of course, having him in the US with me is priceless :)

Had medical exam and had to have vaccinations, measles, mumps and rubella.
Cost $125.00 for physical $25.00 for Tetanus $75.00 for vaccines. Then they sent me for HIV test $105.00 and tuberculosis skin test which I had to return to have checked two days later. They sealed the forms in an envelope, marked confidential, but told me everything was fine . Cost around $330.00
