Full medical or vaccination only?

[Smiling Tiger 0]

i came here to USA on K-1 fiance visa.i had my medical exam and x-ray done before my visa interview in my country(pakistan).vaccinations were not included becoz they said u dont need vaccination now.i came here and i applied for Adjustment of Status.now i got an RFE letter.i quote as it is on letter

"you have indicated that you last entered as K non-immigrant.please submit a properly completed and signed copy of the medical exam conducted overseas on form DS-2053.

If you do not have a completed form DS-2053.please submit a properly completed and signed form I-693,report of medical examination and vaccination record.the medical exam must be conducted by a civil surgeon who has been designated by USCIS and must be issued within one year of filing form I-485"

so i am confused that do i need to have my full medical done or just vaccination.before visa issuance when my medical was done,they gave me sealed envelope which i sent to embassy later.so how can i proof of my medical done overseas.though i still have my x-ray cd with envelope.so guys please help me in this matter.

What you need to do is go to a Civil Surgeon and bring your vacination record from back home. The surgeon will fill it a form for you and will seal it and do ask for a copy for you to keep. :-) Ours cost $200.00 but it depends where you live too. Here is the website to find civil surgeons near you. https://egov.uscis.gov/crisgwi/go?action=of...office_type=CIV Good Luck!!

Sorry but the person above me is wrong. They appear to have lost your medical which is form DS-2053, vaccinations is form DS-3025.

You have 3 options.

1. Contact your doctor where you had the medical done for K1 and have a copy of the medical sent to you to send to them. Whether you have a family member collect it and scan and email it to you is up to you. It would be quicker. Some doctors won't release it unless it's to the embassy.

2. Make an infopass appointment and have them look in your "A" file for the medical. If the medical is there your processing will continue, if it isn't it means they've lost it and you will need to get the original from your K1 medical doctor

3. OR if you don't want to waste time, call some CS's and find out how much it would cost to have the medical done. Some CS's don't charge too much so that might be a quicker option.

Personally I would try option 1 first. Some infopass offices are far from peoples homes so that's why I would do 2 next if I can't get 1 to work. When trying 2 if they can't find it I would ask that they contact your doctor to have it sent WHILE making sure you keep and eye on your deadline so that if either take too long, then you can just do 3.

Best of luck!

When I tried to obtain a copy of my husbands medical they would not give it to me as it is property of USCIS I was told.
