AOS Medical Exam

[rica30 0]

It says on number 11 of the Step-by-Step Guide on How to File for Adjustment of Status for K1 and K3 Visa Holder that:

11. I-693 , Medical Examination of Aliens Seeking Adjustment of Status I-693, Medical Examination of Aliens Seeking Adjustment of Satus. If you are a K-1, K-2, K-3 or K-4 visa holder the I-693 instructions state that you are not required to have another medical examination as long as your Form I-485 is filed within one year of your overseas medical examination. .........etc.

My question is, what if we are filing my AOS just now (Sept. 16, 2012) and my last medical examination (which was done specifically for my US VISA and the med exam was held in the Philippines where I am originally from) anyway what if that medical exam was taken AUG. 16, 2011 meaning, it's been over a year already! What should I do next? Do I need to take another medical exam here in the US? I already got the nearest Civil Surgeon if I do need to take that step but I just need answers if another exam is really what I need to do now.

I can't believe we crammed for this! I guess my husband and I are just real happy that we are finally together. And of course, we also needed to save money for the fees.

Yes you will need another complete medical examine by a civil surgeon here in the USA since your previous medical has been over the one year.
