I-693 required for K1 visa within 1 year overseas medical?

I-693, Medical Examination of Aliens Seeking Adjustment of Status.I-693, Medical Examination of Aliens Seeking Adjustment of Status. 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).

As per above statement, I'm not required to have Medical Examination since mine medical took place last Oct 2013 (can't remember exact month) so I'm not required to fill out I-693.

Please let me know if I've wrong understanding.

You are not required to have a new medical exam if your last exam is less than one year old. This does not mean you do not need to fill out an I-693.

If you have a properly completed DS-3025 form, which is your vaccination supplement, then you do not need an I-693. You can simply include a copy of the DS-3025 with your AOS.

If, however, your DS-3025 is incomplete you WILL need to see a civil surgeon and submit an I-693 with your AOS.

The I-693 process is confusing, generally speaking. I read posts that some people sent in their DS3025 papers they obtained overseas and had no issues, however I also read other posts that other folks encountered issues.

To circumvent these issues we located our nearest civil surgeon, printed the I-693 form and asked the surgeon to fill out page 1, and page 5 to transfer the vaccinations from DS3025 onto I-693. In addition they informed us an add'l vaccine test was necessary, to which we performed.

They then provided us back a sealed envelope labeled "for uscis only", in which contained page 1 and 5 of the i 693, with updated vaccine form onto which the box "all vaccinations complete" was checked, a copy of the supplemental blood work, along with copy of old DS 3025 evidencing medical test was performed within the year.

We did not encounter any issues and were approved.

Thanks for the reply.

I don't recall getting this form http://photos.state.gov/libraries/thailand/591452/iv/ds3025.pdf filled. I got sealed envelope when i had overseas medical. Does this means I missed this form?
