What exactly do the doctors put in the sealed envelope? Is it just the I-693 document (part 1 through part 5). And, do the embassies open up the sealed envelope, or does the USCIS open up the sealed envelope when you get adjusted status after getting married? Thanks

The panel physicians prepare the DS-2053 et al... and sometimes they include the DS-3025. The consulate opens the medical and reviews it for visa ineligibilities. The consulate will remove the report and attach it to the immigrant's file that then goes into the mystery brown envelope that gets opened at the POE. The POE officer adds his/her documents to the file and sends it back to the USCIS. Which, upon an I-485 application, The USCIS service center will retrieve the file from storage for the medical information and adds any new information to be added to the permanent file.

Thanks for getting back to me so soon. So, the 693 is for later on, when you get into the US from abroad. It that correct?

As I recall, my wife brought a copy of her vaccination records here to the US. We took them to a civil surgeon here and for a fee he transferred them to an I-693, which he gave to us in a sealed envelope (after sticking her for whatever vaccinations she was lacking, it was only 1 or 2 of which one was the booster MMR). We mailed the sealed envelope from the US civil surgeon in with our I485 (AOS) application package.

At the interview, I saw the overseas medical exam forms in her A-folder as the interviewer was thumbing through the papers. The I-693 was mixed in with the other forms (that the overseas physician sent to the embassy after the initial medical examination and she turned over to the immigration officer at the POE)

The I-693 is a USCIS form. The DS-2053 is a Department of State form. They are each others equivalent if you will.

Considering you are not able to open said report, it would be difficult to read before the interview....

My results weren't sealed, they were in an open brown envelope and I was told to make copies of everything before sending them onto the Consulate.

Included were:

Cover sheet from Consulate that I, the panel physician, x-ray supervisor and lab tech had to all sign to verify my identity

DS-2053 Medical Examination for Immigrant or Refugee Applicant

DS-3026 Medical History and Physical Examination Worksheet

DS-3025 Vaccination Document Worksheet

DS-3024 Chest X-Ray and Classification Worksheet

plus pathology results for the blood test and chest x-ray

After the documents are reviewed by the Consulate and the visa is approved they get placed into the brown envelope that you are supposed to carry to POE (along with a bunch of other papers)
