Medical exmination and I693

[James&Christy 0]

Hi folks,

I have my AOS interview in January, and am looking at the medical section of my checklist. As I remember, I have not submitted an I-693 at all yet.

Obviously I did have a medical examination as part of the original visa application, but this will have been more than 12 months ago by the time I have my interview. Do I need to have a new one done? I do have my vaccination records from the UK with me too. I can't find much information about what I need to do/submit, as I have done most of it already!!

James.

If your medical is a year old you will most likely need a new one!

I am not sure, I have a smiliar situation, it will be 1 year in January since the first medical, we have only received NOA1 for AOS. I'm afraid we will get an RFE and require a new medical exam, even though he did get I-693A done recently and immunizations were done on 10/2006.

I was interviewed after more than 12 months of my medical but they never ask me to take another medical exam. I took only the required vaccination from the designated physician by the Homeland Security.

If you submit your AOS before the 12 months of your medical is up then you are fine... even if the AOS processing/interview passes the 12 month date you are still fine, it goes by the date of receiving.

If you submit your AOS papers after the expiration of your overseas medical then you will need to submit a current one from a civil surgeon here.

Ok thanks guys - I think it's getting there. I spoke to USCIS this morning and the woman told me that I still need to go to the doctor and get my vaccinations sorted out. This, despite me telling her that I have got a vaccination sheet from my K-1 medical examination, and paperwork showing all the ones missing from there HAVE been done at another time. So, as far as I am concerned, my vaccinations are up-to-date and I have the paperwork to prove it.

Shall I just ignore this woman and go straight to my AOS interview without even talking to a doctor?

yep ignore her....

if you have gotten all this way through the process without a RFE for the I693a, Im going to say that you should be right. However, just be prepared to get one done fast if your IO tells you too.

Personally, I dont think you will have any problems... Just take your original vacc worksheet with you showing that all vaccinations are covered. From what I have read on here, most who have received RFE for it, have generally been missing a vaccination or 2.

Best of luck at your interview
