AOS/Medical Question!

[Penny Lane 8,159]

Hey all, since I will finally be moving in a few short weeks and AOS is the next step of the process to wrap my head around, I'm trying to get a head start on things...

The only part of the process that somewhat confuses me is the medical. I know here on VJ, it tells me that I only need to fill out an I-693 if my medical is marked as incomplete.

I just checked my DS-3025 that came with my medical results and the box marked "Vaccine history incomplete" is checked, however so is a box that says:

"Applicant may be eligible for blanket waiver(s) because vaccination(s) not medically appropriate (as indicated above)"

So, does this mean that I have all the vaccinations I need and I won't need to fill out a form for AOS?

Thanks guys. Sorry if this is a stupid question.

I think most people have that (I didn't get a DS3025 so I can't compare it with mine). I didn't do the I-693 and completed my AOS with no rfe's

I know there are several people here who didn't do the I-693 and had no issues. Sometimes it can be difficult to find a civil surgeon who will just fill out the I-693 and not require you to do another full medical.

I have the same on my DS-3025. Some vaccines are not age appropriate (ex. rotavirus). In that case, you will not need to complete another medical as long as yours is still valid when you apply for AOS (it's good for a year). Instead of having a a whole new medical (I-693), you will just send in your DS-3025 with your AOS, EAD and AP applications.

I guess we drew the short straw! We got an RFE for a full medical with additional vaccines required. $450 later, you know I'm happy!!

You're golden, Coconuts! That's all I had as well.

Just to be on the safe side, I also included a copy of my medical receipt and a copy of the sheet they give with the Xray, giving you a clean bill of health for your lungs.

And.... I also included instructions from the I-693 or whatever it is (haha now that I have my GC in hand, I'm trying to dump the info), with the part highlighted noting that K-1's do not need a new medical exam unless their's is over 1 year old. It may have been a bit cheeky, but I didn't get an RFE! I think someone else on VJ suggested this... I know I didn't come up with the idea on my own. Just an idea

Hope this helps
