We're finally ready to put in his papers and as we're reading through the checklist we see the I-693 form. I thought that was what the bio-metrics fee was, that they would tell us a physician to see for his physical. Am I wrong?? Does he need to have a physical which gets that form filled??

Also the I-485 says we need two passport type photos in the package. We paid for him to have two done for the I-130 which only asks for one. Will we be safe if we just send in the one other one or do we have to get more so he can have just one more. Can we make copies??

From the time we submitted our forms till AOS approval (112 days).

yes, the I-693 form is to be filled by a civil surgeon designated by USCIS and included with your application in a SEALED envelope. Go to their website HERE to find a list in your location. the biometrics fee is for when you get your biometrics appointment notice to obtain fingerprints.

I made that mistake as well, and I went to get more photos. Walgreens said they couldn't make copies, but you may be able to if you didn't do passport photos at the stores.

Yep, you'll need the I-693 completed by a civil surgeon approved by USCIS to include with your package - check their website for details on local civil surgeons to you. Prices vary, but will be at least $120-$150, plus any vaccinations, blood work or x-rays should they be needed. Definitely shop around if you can. I didn't have much choice in my local area and I had to part with the better part of $600. Hope you have more choices than me.

You'll need 2 pictures for I-130, 1 for I-485. Additionally if you want EAD/AP then you'll need 2 for I-765 and 2 for I-131

11/29/12 - AOS Interview in Atlanta - 10 minutes long and approved on the spot.

ROC in 2014!

i just realize your not adjusting from K1. in that case, you need to complete a medical with one of the physicians as outlined on the USCIS website

Unless my memory is failing, you need 1 of each of you for the I-130. You need 2 of your husband for the I-485, I-765 and I-131 (if you're including those forms). So you could need up to 7 pictures of him and 1 of you. If you get high-quality color copies on photo paper and cut them to the correct size, you might be able to get away with copies.

And like the rest have said, he needs to go to a civil surgeon and do the I-693. It might take some time to get an appointment, so you better get on it. I don't like the USCIS civil surgeon locator - it seems to be out of date, I prefer just using google.

You might want to run through the guides again and make sure you're not missing anything else. Good luck.

A medical is NOT biometrics. Biometrics is fingerprints. A medical is an exam you get before you send the paperwork. The results are transcribed onto I-693 by the Civil Surgeon who does the exam.
