AOS----I693 Form

[ccollins36 0]

Hello,

I have a question, I am in the process of filling for AOS and I have come to the I693 Form.

My husband completed his Medical in Lagos before his interview where they gave him a white envelope that contain the sealed medical. That was the only copy of the official medical exam. The embassy gave him a brown envelope sealed that had documents to give at the POE. When he arrived at the POE they took the brown envelope that we believe had the medical documents.

Now that we are preparing for the AOS step after marriage. we see that we need the I693 Form that requires the medical to be take to the civil surgeon.

1. How do we get a copy of the original medical.

2. Can we send the I-485 form without the I693.

3. Is the I-693 form needed to be file.

4. How much is to have the civil surgeon to filled in the vaccination.

5. Is there a list of vaccination that is required.

Thanks for your help once again.

1. How do we get a copy of the original medical. You don't need a copy of original medical exam, USCIS has it on their records. You don't need a medical exam if the exam at Lagos was done within the last 12 months.

2. Can we send the I-485 form without the I693. Yes, however, you need to include a copy of Form DS3025, if it wasn't complete at the medical exam, you have to go see a Civil Surgeon and have them transcribe all medications to Page 5 of Form I-693. Some Civil Surgeons would rather do the whole medical exam because they want to charge more.

3. Is the I-693 form needed to be file. No, if it hasn't been a year since medical exam at Lagos.

4. How much is to have the civil surgeon to filled in the vaccination. You would have to search and call to ask for prices in your area, it varies. https://egov.uscis.gov/crisgwi/go?action=offices.type&OfficeLocator.office_type=CIV

5. Is there a list of vaccination that is required.

We ended up needing to do another complete medical as the 3025 we had was not complete. It is correct that the civil doctors generally require a complete exam mainly to get the extra cash. It cost us around 150 including additional vaccines. We sent it in with our 485 submission to avoid an RFE, and we're approved last week.

Good Luck!

Okay, now you have me worried. I also did not receive ANYTHING from the doctor who completed my medical exam in the Bahamas. I am now about to send in my AOS docs tomorrow actually. I was going to send it in with a notation on my cover page that all my vaccinations are complete and in the orginal K1 packet. My medical was completed less than a year ago so I was just sending it in hoping for the best with no RFEs. Now I see here that you say I need a 3025 form? Where do I get that? I'm confused. Can you please clarify? Thank you.

Go to: http://www.uscis.gov/green-card/green-card-through-family/green-card-through-special-categories-family/k-nonimmigrant

Scroll down to Medical Examination and read about requirement.

You should have received a Form DS 3025 from the doctor that conducted the medical exam.

The link I posted had info at the bottom of that post about not having a DS-3025 on hand. Some countries don't give one at the medical.

What if I don't have a DS-3025?

If you are positive that you got the needed shots, then actually mailing in a DS-3025 photocopy is not necessary. The original form is with your other medical results and was turned over to USCIS at POE. That's actually the one that counts because it remained in the "chain of custody" so you didn't have an opportunity to alter it. The photocopy isn't really an official copy and is more for a reminder that you got complete at your visa exam. Of course without having a copy, you don't have the opportunity to see if the rest of the form was completed correctly.

Did you receive vaccinations and a properly filled out DS-3025 from the K-1 medical in Juarez?

Did not need ay vaccinations, I was given a DS3025 but it was blank.

My husband received a useless blank one as well. Juarez does not tend to give vaccinations for K-1 applicants, which is too bad because it makes those going through Juarez have to find a civil surgeon in the US that is willing to do the vaccination transcription only.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! You made me feel so much better. I thought it was a step in the k1 process that I'd totally missed and everyone else seemed to have because I had no idea I was even supposed to expect something back from the doctor who completed my medical and he didn't offer me anything. Anyway, I am sending in my AOS packet tomorrow and I'll just hope and pray for the best. hopefully my medical documents in my k1 packet are completely in tact! Thanks.
