Requirements for Medical

[J and O 0]

I forgot to also add this about the medical for the AOS.

When we started to apply for the AOS and came across the medical forms that needed to be transferred I contacted a doctor referred and he said that everything would have to be redone that he could not read anything from St. Luke's (Manila). Telling me that the cost would be between $500-$700 to do another complete medical.

I had to have some pushing done with the Embassy in Manila during the K1 process from our senator's office. I contacted his immigration staff regarding her medical and she talked to their attorney that works with immigration and they said that the medical does not have to be done and nothing else needed to be completed if the medical had been done within one year. So we went with that and sent in the medical papers from St. Luke’s plus the vaccination card and a copy of her second vaccination from her doctor here.

This appears to be fine so if anyone from the Philippines had their medical done at St Luke's and it is within the last year you most likely do not have to spend the extra money for the transferring of the documents. OR at least it works for us. You may want to at least give it a try since you have already spent the money for the medical once and it is at a government approved facility.
