My girlfriend arrived from UK on a visa waiver in January. We decided to get married after she arrived and began to do some of the paperwork,including the immigration physical and form I-693.However we decided to call off the marriage soon after this, and she returned home to UK.6 months later,she came back to the US to visit relatives,again using VWP.I contacted her while she was in the US and proposed again. She accepted,and we got married a month later.

My question is, the I-693 doctor's document we got back in January is supposed to be good for one year.If we use this same form I-693 document we got in january,could that be construed by immigration, because of the date, as a prior intent to immigrate for marriage? Would they even care about the date of the document? Should we play it safe and pay to go through the whole expensive physical again and get a new I-693 dated after the marriage? Is this overly cautious?

Your wife is better off to return to her home country and you file I-130, I 485 concurrently and just use the medical exam from before. If for some reason that medical exam is no longer valid USCIS will send you a notice requesting a new medical.

One cannot file the I-130/I-485 if the beneficiary departs the country as you suggest, since you can only adjust status from within the U.S.

To the OP, having a signed Form I-693 does not equate to a person having intent to AOS when they entered the U.S.

Thanks for the reply.Could you explain why she would be better off?

Also, as I mentioned, the I-693 is valid for one year.
