CDC の Civil Surgeon 向けのページに Table 1: Vaccine Requirements According to Application Age という表があるが、これが年齢ごとに整理された必要なワクチンである。
The vaccines from the list above that are required for a given applicant are defined in Table 1. Vaccine series have minimum age requirements and typically require months to years to complete. Therefore, it is usually not possible for applicants to receive all vaccinations for the diseases listed above prior to adjustment of status, and they are instead required to receive from the civil surgeon at least one dose of each age-appropriate vaccine listed in Table 1 for which the applicant is not currently up to date. If the applicant is up to date on the required vaccines listed in Table 1, no additional vaccines are required to be given at the time of the medical exam. The civil surgeon should counsel the applicant about the importance of completing the series of vaccines according to the recommended schedule.
抗体検査による確認での対応については Vaccination ページの Laboratory Confirmation of Immunity セクションに記載されている。
Laboratory Confirmation of Immunity
The civil surgeon should obtain a good history of vaccine-preventable diseases, including measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella, from the applicant to identify any naturally acquired diseases for optional laboratory confirmation.
An applicant who provides a reliable written or oral history of varicella disease does not require laboratory confirmation or further vaccination. To verify a history of varicella, civil surgeons should inquire about: 1. an epidemiologic link to another typical varicella case or to a laboratory-confirmed case or 2. evidence of laboratory confirmation, if testing was performed at the time of acute disease. Persons who meet neither of these criteria should not be considered as having a valid history of disease and should be tested for immunity or vaccinated.
Acceptable tests for the presence of antibodies are US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved kits or Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA)-certified kits. When using any approved kits, the manufacturer’s guidelines or instructions must be followed.
Laboratory evidence of immunity is acceptable for measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, polio*, and varicella if the applicant lacks acceptable documented history of vaccination for these diseases.
*Titers must include all three poliovirus types to be acceptable (additional details found here).

A cover letter is an overview document that gives the USCIS officer a quick summary of what to expect in the application package. Generally, it should include an outline of the contents. In some cases, it may be a good way to communicate any special circumstances that you have.
Use each sample USCIS cover letter as an example only. You’ll need to customize it to fit your own specific situation. Although supporting documents listed in the letter may be representative of a typical case, you may need different evidence based on the way you prepared the USCIS form. Use CitizenPath to get step-by-step instructions and a checklist of supporting documents.

If you are using I-131 to apply for a reentry permit, which means you already have a green card, Class of Admission is asking for the three-letter code representing your immigrant category under which you became a permanent resident.
If you are using I-131 to apply for a reentry permit, which means you already have a green card, Class of Admission is asking for the three-letter code representing your immigrant category under which you became a permanent resident. This is the same code as we discussed in the I-90 post mentioned above.
I am a LPR and need to travel abroad. Can I file my Form I-131 to get a reentry permit while I am outside the United States?
No. You cannot file a Form I-131 to obtain a reentry permit unless you are physically present in the United States when you file the form. You should file your Form I-131 no fewer than 60 days before you intend to travel abroad.
If I file Form I-131 to get a reentry permit while I am in the United States, will USCIS deny the Form I-131 if I leave the United States while the form is still pending?
We recommend that you file Form I-131 while you are in the United States. However, you do not have to be in the United States for USCIS to approve your Form I-131 and issue a reentry permit to you if your biometrics (photo, fingerprints) have been obtained. You can indicate on your Form I-131 that you want USCIS to send your reentry permit to a U.S. Embassy, consulate or a DHS office overseas, so you can pick it up from one of those facilities.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTSを読んだことがあるかどうか、読んだならどのようなことが書いてあったか
過去5年の間に訪問した国はどこか
(スペインと言ったタイミングにて) スペインでは何をしたのか
(会社のイベントで言ったことを伝えた後) 家族も連れていったのかどうか
KNOW YOUR RIGHTSを読んだいた方が良いと伝えたのはこのため。私は全く気にせずに学歴の英語での説明などをレビューしていたので、これだけは焦ってしまった。そして、全然違うことを答えてしまったので、あなたの権利について書いているんだよ、と説明された。それだけでしたが、受け答えできた方がいいので、待っている間に読んでおきましょう。
What happens to my DS-160 if I select a U.S. Embassy or Consulate where I will be applying for my visa, but end up making an interview appointment instead at another U.S. Embassy or Consulate?
The Embassy or Consulate at which you actually apply should be able to access your form using the barcode on your DS-160 confirmation page, which you must bring to the visa interview. For example, a business traveler intends to apply for his visa at the U.S. Embassy in City X, so he selects City X as the location where he will submit his application when he completes his DS-160. He then has an urgent reason to travel to City Y on business. Because there is a U.S. Consulate in City Y, he schedules an appointment for a visa interview there, using the barcode from his completed DS-160 application for appointment scheduling. The U.S. Consulate in City Y is able to accept his DS-160 even though it lists the U.S. Embassy in City X as the location where he originally intended to submit his application.
シカゴに到着。ESTA 用の入国列とは異なり今回は VISA での入国のため別入国の列に並ぶとそこにはすでに長蛇の列。並んでいる人はインド系の入国者と思われる方々が大半。どうやら、Air India が少し早めに到着していて、その乗客が大半をしめている状況。インド国民は米国入国のためには ESTA では入国できないため、当然、VISA 入国になり列も長くなる。
30分、1時間
時間はすぎても少しずつしか列は進まない。
ついにはESTA列がすべて終わり、そちらの列にもVISA入国者が流れていき、入国審査を進める状況。
1時間45分
ようやく私の番がきて、あらかじめ準備していた書類を見せながらの入国審査。
ESTA 入国の時との違いは、何日滞在とかその目的はなどは聞かれず、仕事の内容などを聞かれる程度で質問はそれほど面倒ではなかった。ドキュメントをちゃんと用意しておけば特に問題はない、比較的スムーズな作業。
