AOS

[rncarterjm 0]

what i don't understand in regards to the guidelines i am now reading in the AOS section is that i will need to submit 13. I-693, Medical Examination of Aliens Seeking Adjustment of Status. (If you already have this from your overseas Visa Interview submit a copy that medical check form; No fee is required in this case. 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 (I-693A), not the entire medical report. You may include the vaccination supplement with your adjustment of status application.)

but i don't have a medical examination, so i am now wondering if the medical result that i gave to the DHS when i came in at miami will they mail those stuff to my fiancee?

Maybe you should post this to the AOS forum...

You would get the answer in the AOS forum, but I will also offer it here.

If you arrive in the US as a K-1, you will already have completed your medical examination. Your doctor usually - but not always - gives you a copy of the vaccination worksheet. If you didn't get this, then do your best to bring all of the documentation you have about your immunizations because you will need them in the US. You had your package of materials given to you at your interview to the border officials, still sealed. It contains your medical examination.

You are required to get married within 90 days and it is also the best idea to apply for your Adjustment of Status (AOS) immediately afterwards. Once you apply your status changes to 'Adjustment applicant". The form that you use is for everyone who is adjustment status, not just K-1s. Since you will have already had a medical examination within the year, you don't need to send another one. They already have it. You will need to send an additional medical report that you can only get in the US from a recognized civil surgeon - a vaccination supplement. There is a list of civil surgeons on the USCIS website. Find one in your area and call them for and ask them if they will do the vaccination supplement. A lot may try to talk you into redoing the whole medical - you don't need that (unless, of course, you receive an RFE from immigration asking for one, in which case you do get 2nd one). The civil surgeon will transfer the information from the worksheet you received - or your own personal records showing your immunization history if you didn't get a worksheet - on a form they have in their office. They will return it to you in a sealed envelope. Ask for a copy for yourself too:-). You include this sealed envelope with your AOS application. If you need to get some of the vaccinations you can also do them at the civil surgeons, but it is best - and usually cheaper - to try and get those done before you arrive in the US. Not all of the vaccines, however, are available in all countries so you may have to get one or two in the US.

Don't hesitate to phone around to different civil surgeons in your area to get the best price. They vary considerably from $10 to over $100 to just fill out the form.

Hope this helps.
