I-693

[happiestmanalive 23]

Hello there,

I was under the impression that I have to have an I-693 to submit for my fiance. She is currently here with me with a K1 visa. We are getting married next month, but I was trying to do all the paperwork I can now. Already applied for Social Security Number. I've been following the steps to the T. But she told me that from what she researched, she didn't need to do that because she had a medical check in Japan. So do we need to do it or no...?

This helps everyone that uses this site.

Please review the K-1 AOS tips for more information.

Good luck on your immigration journey.

She does not need a new medical exam if it was done within a year of applying for AOS. She needed to have all the required vaccinations at the time of the medical though. Check this post to see if you need to see a civil surgeon or not: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/335754-ds-3025-complete-or-not/page__p__4971318#entry4971318

I just answered this in other thread, may be it helps you too.

If you have medical insurance, you could go to your family physician,(if you don't have one i recommend you to get one, at least in new york state) so your doctor can tell you if you are missing any shot and give it to you if needed, with that, you can go to a civil surgeon, being sure you have ur vaccination complete.

I had my medical overseas in Argentina. I didn't send any I-693 with my AOS pack, I only sent a letter explaining I had the medical 2 months before that. When I went to the interview they said my Green Card is approved, but I would need to go to a civil surgeon to get the vaccination record filled again.

So if you go to your doctor in the U.S and he/she says you have all the shots required in the country, is fine, if not you can go ahead and get the ones you are missing, and then visit a civil surgeon, keep an eye on Varicella and Meningitis shot, it was what they asked me to complete.

Anyways, where I had my interview, it looks like they send ALL k1-k2 to review their vaccination.

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!

And remember, civil surgeon will review ur shot history, you don't need to get the shots there, so is better if you go to ur personal doctor fist, because most likely your medical insurance will cover the vaccinations you may need, as is part of being healthy, and then take the records to the civil surgeon.

Does she have a copy of her vaccination record (DS-3025) from her K-1 medical?

Interesting about the meningitis shot....I'm wondering if this is age specific. It's not a recommended one on the CDC site for my husband's age group, so we did not have it done. He's from Arg too

Which doc did you use for the medical in BsAs? The one we used never gave him a copy of the DS-3025 or anything at all, actually. We have gotten in touch with her recently to try and get a copy but she informed us she is no longer working with the embassy at all and did not keep any records. Very odd.
