FORM 1-693

[J@L 0]

Dear vjyer's,

I am filing for AOS and I want to ask if I still need to fie for Form 1-693 (Report of Medical Exam and Vaccination Record) and see a civil surgeon m.

to have him sign this form. Do I have to submit a copy vaccination record that St. Luke's Manila gave me?

Thanks.

Read the GUIDE for AOS

You do not need the I-693 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. 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)." IF all is good you just send a copy of the 3025

However there are a fair number that recommend you take the 3025 to a civil surgeon and have the information transcribed to the I-693, the civil surgeon will seal that in an envelope for you to submit to USCIS with the I-485.

You may have to hunt for a civil surgeon that will do this without trying to ram you for the cost of a physical as well.

Yes on all points from Hank

Also want to add that your immunizations must be complete. If any were deferred until after your POE, then get them and ensure the 693 reflects this. Note: DO NOT OPEN it once it's sealed. Review it before they seal it.

So has anyone on here used a Civil Surgeon in the Seattle WA area for their I-693??

Looking for a referral, I called several on the government site and all want to do a physical ( $260 to $285 ). Also one office told me it would cost between $700 and $800 for the whole thing since my wife does not have her vaccination records from Ukraine.
