Default Re: vaccination supplement for i-485

    > Hi Sevros - the Civil Surgeon(s) you've talked to are lying - here's
    > what it says about the V.S. on the official USCIS website:
    > "Note that the vaccination supplement accompanying Form I-693 is not

    > (see http://uscis.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/i-693.htm)
    > So there you have it - straight from the horse's mouth ;-)
    > The Vaccination Supplement *is* a document you get from an INS

    > along (from both US and UK) which showed which innoculations I'd had.
    > After a bit of arguing about whether I needed a full medical (he said

How much did you pay, if you don't mind me asking?
