Already had medical

[Jennymc11 2]

Hi everyone,

My husband and I have his AOS interview on 2/1 so I'm just going through the list of things to bring right now. The first item listed is:

A completed medical examination (form I-693) and vaccination supplement in a sealed envelope (unless already submitted).

So, the question is, since Rich has his Medical in London in May, do they somehow get the information to the appropriate interviewing office? Also, we submitted the vaccination supplement in the AOS package, so will that also get to the interviewer?

Thanks for your help.

My understanding is that the embassy gives you an envelope full of papers (the medical is in there) along with your K-1 visa, the visa holder takes that envelope to the POE where it is surrendered and forwarded to USCIS.

Perhaps someone else can concur?

I found this in the guides...

5.2.1...Does anyone know exactly what happens to this wad of papers in the brown envelope (after) the USCIS (INS) at POE goes through them?

A..It is sent to the USCIS (INS) district office closest to where you will reside, which will be the office handling your case once in the USA.

(NOTE: the envelope may "transit" through one of the Service Centers, but it will end up at your local office at some point in your adjustment of status process - i.e. when you apply to be a permanent resident)

6.2.2)....Will I need to take another medical exam since the medical report is only good for one year??

A...In most cases, no. The results of your K1/K2 medical were in the "sealed envelope" that you brought with you from your home country. The I-485 instructions mention that no additional medical is required if filing for AOS within a year of the medical required to obtain the K1/K2. You should simply send in a copy of the I693A (sheet that lists your vaccinations) that your doctor should have provided overseas when you had your medical. And...according to a newsgroup posting...."Went up to the local USCIS (INS) office in Omaha today and they told me that the letter saying "Adjustment of Status / I130 Interview" is just a form letter they send out whether you've applied under a I485 OR a I130.... They also told me that, despite what the letter says, I do NOT need to get another medical done even though its been more than 12 months since my K1 medical at the London Embassy."

FAQ Note: The current I-485 instructions mention a "vaccination supplement". Again as a K1 / K2 Visa holder you should have a copy of this from your exam overseas. If not you will need to make an appointment with an USCIS (INS) approved physician in your area to obtain this paperwork and/or additional vaccinations.

Yep, that's what happens. Those papers along w/ what you submitted for AOS, are then combined ino one file. When it is time for the interview, the IO will have a complete file in front of him, from which to conduct the AOS interview.

Good luck,
