Darn, I'm stressed out. Need help on Civil Surgeon for AOS

[Paolo11 0]

Ok, I have the DS 3025 and that has the vaccinations from St. Lukes in the Philippines last June:

a) TDAP

b) Measles

c) Influenza

Now I am trying to find a Civil Surgeon in my area (Southern California from North Hollywood, Van Nuys, Northridge, Canoga Park, Arleta to Woodland Hills) and they all want me to pay for a physical examination plus some other vaccinations. I thought I don't have to do these exams for K1 Visa.

I need help here. Can anyone help me?

Hi. Im about to file aos too and been reading here about getting a civil surgeon or not for k1. well I decided since i talked to two filipinas here already in hawaii that i will not go to civil surgeon, they just send their ds 3025 from slec and didnt get any rfe so i prolly just do that too. its a roll of a dice but im taking the risk.

Ok if you send that ds 3025, can you still get the work permit while waiting for the green card? What are the worst case scenarios?

3. What if I am a K nonimmigrant visa holder and already had a medical exam overseas?

If you were admitted as a:

a. K-1 fiancé(e) or a K-2 child of a K-1 fiancé(e); or as a

b. K-3 spouse of a U.S. citizen or a K-4 child of a K-3 spouse of a U.S. citizen; and

c. You received a medical examination prior to admission, then:

(1) 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, and the medical examination did not reveal a Class A medical condition, or if you did have a Class A medical condition, you received a waiver of inadmissibility and have complied with the terms and conditions on the waiver.

(2) Even if a new medical examination is not required, you must still show proof that you complied with the vaccination requirements. If the vaccination record (DS 3025) was not properly completed and included as part of the original overseas medical examination report, you will have to have the vaccination report completed by a designated civil surgeon. In this case, you are required to submit the vaccination record and page 1 of Form I-693.

Our interview is on Tuesday with no RFE. EAD arrived last week

Question, did you have a civil surgeon submit an I 693 form or no?
