COMPLETING i-485 - report for medical exam

[sillygoose 0]

I am sending the I-130 and I-485 today etc, but I haven't yet had a medical exam and it asks for the I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record.

I don't have this??? Do I need to get this before I can send the forms or does this come later???

I'm really stressing,I need to send the forms today!

yes you need medical for I-485.

NOTE, look closely ate I-485 directions, is says you MAY include the I-693, it doed nt tell you that it IS require, only that you MAY send it.

If you do not one of 2 things happen.

• You get an RFE for it.
• You are asked to bring it to your AOS interview.

How come you are adjusting status when your profile says CR-1/IR-1???

YuAndDan-

Why do you interpret it that way? The instructions say the following:

7. Medical examination.

When required, submit a medical examination report on the form you have obtained from USCIS.

1. General:

If you are filing your adjustment-of-status application with a USCIS Service Center, include your medical examination report with the application, unless you are a refugee.

2. Refugees: If you are applying for adjustment of status one year after you were admitted as a refugee, you only need to submit a vaccination supplement with your adjustment-of-status application, not the entire medical report, unless there were medical grounds of inadmissibility that arose during the initial examination that you had overseas.

B. Individuals applying for adjustment of status through a local USCIS office.

If you are filing your adjustment-of-status application with a local USCIS office, include your medical examination report with the application.

8. Fiancé(e)s.

If you are a K-1 fiancé(e) or K-2 dependent who had a medical examination within the past year as required for the nonimmigrant fiancé(e) visa, you only need to submit a vaccination supplement, not the entire medical report. You may include the vaccination supplement with your adjustment-of-status application.

9. Persons not required to have a medical examination.

The medical report is not required if you are applying for creation of a record for admission as a lawful permanent resident under section 249 of the INA as someone who has continuously resided in the United States since January 1, 1972 (registry applicant).

Note that the I-693 itself says:

A medical examination is necessary as part of your application for adjustment of status.

This does not seem to me to suggest only that it is not required in all cases, e.g. refugees, not that it can be omitted if required.

Thanks for the correction, the directions for I-485 use to say "MAY" before last December, must have been dropped when updated.

If you don't send it now, you will get an RFE for it. This will delay your application. So you either delay now, and get your medical and send the exam with your other forms, or you wait for your RFE, which will slow your whole process down. Either way, you will be behind. my thoughts to you is to get everything right the first time.

send out the form today if you can't wait any longer..get an appointment. do your medical thingy and make it ready for you. Make sure you have sealed form from the doctor. Most likely, you are going to get RFE (Request for evidence from USCIS) stating that send your medical. Shoot ur medical asap.

Don't take a stress over it.

Best of luck

This is what my opinion, not an expert advise.
