What is correct story on the I-693 for K3 Visa holder?

[JoBri 548]

I have heard various rumors about the 693. My wife passed her physical and had all the required immunizations. She will arrive here in May, and we will begin the process of adjusting status.

What is the OFFICIAL word of what she must submit for the I-693? Does she have to still go to a civil surgeon, approved by USCIS? Does she have to have a new 693 completed in which the immuniztions she received is transferred to the new 693? That is what I heard... I am very confused. I also was told some civil surgeons require her getting a completely new physical at the cost of a few hundred dollars.

What is the offical word, please?

Thanks so much.

If it's less than a year from her St. Lukes medical when she applies for AOS she only needs a civil surgeon to transfer her vaccination records from the DS 3025 to the I-683.

Some civil surgeons try to hit peeps up for the full medical. They arev scammers.

Contact Dr. Arnold in Texas. She does the process for $30.
