Immunisation/Vaccination Paperwork?
Paul Bennett
At the Doctors last week (for my K1 interview), I was told to get
immunised for MMR, diphtheria and Tetanus and that I'd need to present a
Vaccination Certificate to the Immigration Desk when I show my visa (and
the mysterious brown envelope :-) I went to the Dr yesterday to
check/get these shots. The Nurse was adamant that there was no such
thing as a vaccination or immunisation certificate, and that the only
thing that the World Health Organisation demended was immunisation
against Yellow Fever.
What's the deal with exactly what paperwork I'll need to show? (at New
Jersey (EWR) if it matters)
Thanks

You won't need to show the record until your AOS procedure, I didn't have to
show one when I came through. You could ask the doctor to provide you with a
letter confirming you have had the shots, there may be a small charge for
that though, but I am sure they would oblige if you specify the purpose
behind it.
btw... I arrived here Thursday and used Atlanta as my POE.. and got a 90-day
work permit too with no trouble. (c:
Good to see you found the newsgroup.
It was great meeting you at the interviews.

Colin,
I see that you have a successful port of entry experience in
Atlanta. If you haven't already done so, it would be great if
you could post your experience on the Port of Entry Rolling List
Web Site. Your experience in Atlanta and obtaining the EAD Card
will help many people in the future to decide which POE to use
for their K1 entry.
You can add your POE Experience by visiting the POE Rolling
List at http://www.k1poelist.com
Thanks,
Jeremy

Aye. That's about what the doctor said. There *is* a little bookletty
thing that the practice nurse gave me, which doesn't look overly
official, but lists my entire vaccination history.

FWIW, I'm coming in via CLT now, not EWR. According to our (part-time)
lawyer [*], every (airport) POE is both able to and _legally obliged_ to
provide the Stamp and EAD to K-1 holders _on request_ Better yet, (for
me) the Raleigh SS office claim thay'll issue a SS# on the strength of
just the Stamp.
More news after the event...

I look forward too it. Please refer your part time lawyer to the POE rolling
list where he will see that is not the case in the Real world.

Hmmmmmm. How able (and likely) are the POE INS people to deny entry (or
otherwise cause hassle) on the basis of a little bit of "I know my
rights, gosh-tarn-it!" foot-stamping?
Should I get the lawyer to fax me the relevant statute and/or guidelines
to carry with me?

Thank you! You just saved me a phone call =)
I'm living in Raleigh too, and was wondering if we'd get a lot of hassle
with this one.

I guess it is worth a try. Its a bit like a prisoner and warder scenario.
The warder is in charge has the keys and the prisoner can stamp and shout
and tell him his rights but the warder still has the keys.

give the stamp even though they wouldn't normally by arming themselves with
all available info. but, if I recall correctly, on one occasion it took two
hours to persuade them. At the end of the day they have the power to refuse
entry so is it worth pushing it or would it be better to find a 'friendly'
POE?

Actually I think we should do away with the POE list and ask the INS to
introduce a new law stating the USC has to have at least 100,000 dollars in
a numbered Swiss bank account and should be able to take their foreign
spouse on at least 4 cruises in the first year. Of course the home that the
spouse is due to settle in would have to be inspected to make sure it is of
sufficient size to meet the spouses demands. The spouse must not work for a
period not exceeding 8 months and no moneys are to be charged to a credit
card at any time. The USC mental capacity must be taken into account, they
must be more intelligent and thus more employable than the immigrant.
Obviously there medical history will be scoured.
All applications for the post of USC checker should be Emailed to the
Grinch....I have a couple of people in mind for these important jobs.
