Ok VisaJourney pros, we're about to take the big leap and want to make sure all of our I's are dotted.

My fiance and I met in June and like so many good love stories we knew pretty quickly that we were perfect for each other. We're getting married Wednesday and I'm hoping we've got everything together.

My fiance currently holds a J-1 Visa (2 year residency NOT required) that expires 8/31.

We will be married on 8/12. An official marriage, not a wedding ceremony yet. I think we might go to her home country after all the status stuff settles to do this.

Her nationality is Russian but she was born/raised in Uzbekistan.

We plan to file:

I-130 with proof as Join Tenancy and several affidavits from friends and family.

I-485

G-325a (for me)

G-325a (for my fiance)

I-864 (Me supporting her)

I-764 (for work while application is being processed)

Question: The link for the I-693 on Visajourney did not seem to go to the PDF. Does she need a medical exam BEFORE we file the paperwork or is this something that necessary? Is it required if she is already here on the J1?

Question: The I-601 - What is this for exactly? She doesn't have and has never had TB. Is this the only issue the document covers? I couldn't find solid info on this.

Anyone have experience in our situation recently? Russan-Uzbek J1 -> Marriage process?

Any help would be appreciated! :)
