Timeline

We went to one in Mira Mesa a few weeks ago, who seemed reasonable enough -- and she knew EXACTLY what was needed for AOS and knew precisely how to fill out forms and didn't even try to push for a full medical. Very easy to deal with:

Dr. Annabelle Razon-San Angel

9190 Mira Mesa Blvd, San Diego, CA 92126
(858) 689-1814
The vaccine transcription cost $50. We needed a flu shot for my husband and that was an extra $25 (but we could have gotten it cheaper elsewhere, it was just easier to do it there at the time). When the nurse was filling out the forms she noticed a possible error with my husband's prior vaccines that I hadn't been aware of (he had had a tetanus booster but NOT a full TDaP) -- so that was another charge, but I'm actually really glad she caught that, because we probably would have gotten an RFE otherwise. So I'm happy enough and can recommend her.

Wonderful, thank you so much, as I was going to try and find one for my fiance as well in San DIego, as she had the medical already back home and just needs a transcription, and you just saved me a lot of work.

Are you K1?

www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-693instr.pdf

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!
