medical

[notscenenough 6]

so could someone clarify this for me: when sending initial documents for AOS, i-130 and stuff, should i do a medical exam before that and send it with all the papers, or bring it to the interview?

im AOSing from f-1 visa, married to a US citizen.

the reason im asking is because i dont want to spend the money on the medical RIGHT NOW.

I think if you don't send it with your AOS application, you are likely to get a RFE, which can slow the whole process. So it's probably better to have the exam before.

You can't go to any hospital or center to take your medical exam....find one that was designated by the USCIS

Start by reading the guides and the instructions on the medical - you can't go to just any doctor

You can find the list of designated civil surgeons on the USCIS site:
