Caught off-guard I-693

[Spangler2 0]

Thank you for your help so far.

We thought we were all set to send in our adjustment of status, then saw online that we would also need an I-693. Previously, we read "If you are missing any shots from your overseas medical a I-693 vaccination transcription is required to be completed by seeing a Civil Surgeon to have certain portions of the I-693 completed and have the Civil Surgeon certify the form (sealing the original in an envelope and giving you a copy)." - #11 from http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1k3aos .

Our vaccination document worksheet says "vaccine history complete for each vaccine. all requirements met."

We don't want to keep putting this off, since my fiancee can't work until this is processed. Do we really need to go see a civil surgeon?

Thank you

In here, p.4 it says: "What if I am a k-1 visa holder and I already had a medical exam overseas"?

and then answer: basically as long as the 3025 is complete, it's ok. if not, you must see a civil surgeon.

(I can't copy/paste from the pdf)

So it looks ok - but there's so much confusion over it on the internet.

Can I just print out this page, highlight that part, and attach it to a copy of the DS3025? Is that too cheeky?

If you have a copy of the DS3025, just add it to the packet you'll send out.

Here http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/388987-aos-ead-ap-checklist/page__p__5687165#entry5687165 on my post about my checklist, I added a PDF file with .. well... a checklist; that will help you.

Either way.. what's the worst that can happen? If they want something different when it comes to the vaccines, they will either let you know by an RFE or at the interview (if you get one). At least this time, if they RFE you, you are not far away from your wife and it doesn't add up time to the much expected reunion. You are together, and you can take care of things.

That is the way I see it and, of course, it doesn't mean you have to see that way. I just REFUSE to get all stressed out about AOS like we did with the K1 process.

Thank you. I think we're just going to do this. Actually we're only going to be in the US for a little over 1 year, then move back to Japan together. I need to be here for school so she came with me. We want to get everything approved quickly so she can start working, though. I had no idea how complicated the visa process would be.

What visa did you apply for? It isn't listed on your profile or timeline.

Oops, sorry. The k-1 visa.

That's a lot of work, time and money to go through for not intending to actually live in the US!

Believe me, I know. They should have some kind of visa system for short-term stay.
