I CAME HERE THROUGH A K-1 VISA AND I JUST GOT MARRIED LAST MONTH. I NOW START GATHERING INFORMATON ON HOW TO APPLY AOS. I TALKED TO SOME FRIENDS ONLINE ABOUT THIS MATTER BUT WHAT MADE ME CONFUSED IS ABOUT THE MEDICAL EXAMINATION. I'VE DONE THE MEDICAL EXAM THERE IN ST. LUKE MEDICAL CLINIC IN MANILA AS INSTRUCTED IN A FIANCEE VISA APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS. SHOULD I HAVE ANOTHER MEDICAL EXAM HERE IN USA ONCE I APPLY FOR THE ADJUSTMENT OF MY STATUS?

HALLER!

No need for new medical except all u need is to have a TD Shot from a civil surgeon, ask right then the civil surgeon to put that in a I-693 form. This is all you need for AOS. Our medical in Philippines are good for 1-year. After 1-year, u need to re-do your medical....

Hi... FAQs for medical.

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=101202

The only problem is that it states that you do not have to submit an I-693 if you completed the vaccines. That is NOT what the I-485 directions say. Here are the directions for the I-485... They state that an I-693 does need to be done. See page 4.
