October 2015 AOS Filers

[Amhara 460]

I sent a copy of the medical I had for the k-1 in September and a copy of the list of vaccinations I had (the same I gave at the consulate).

Did your panel physician fill out the medical saying that you've already had all required vaccinations?

I'm trying to make sure I understand this part well as my goal is to AOS in December (we'll see...). We won't need another medical since ours was completed within a year. However, I think we need his vaccinations to be transcribed on the I-693 since we weren't given them all overseas. I think anyone that had all vaccinations only needs to provide copies they met this requirement as the overseas panel physician's report is supposed to be available to the USCIS worker who handles the AOS here. From what I have read so far.

If I'm misguided, please correct me.

Oh geez ... I didn't file the I-693 because I had medical a month ago.

The consulate wrote on a form all the ones I had and that the US requires for the immigration process..

I went to one of our medical offices in Italy and asked for a copy of all my vaccination history and they printed that for me.

And this is what I brought to the embassy.

Maybe he can ask someone to call the doctor in his home Country and see if he can get a transcript too..

I think I know what my RFE now......

Since I'm a K1 n took medical exam before I came here,

I thought "I'm not require to file I-693" means I don't have to do anything so I didn't even file a copy or my exam to prove;;;

I hope that's it then I can just copy them n file it soon as I get a mail.

I don't know. I have read that the medical exam documents are available to USCIS during the AOS. If I'm not mistaken it's by the border security? Oy, I really don't know.

"Even if a new medical examination is not required, you still must show proof that you have 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 Part 1, Information About You, Part 2, the vaccination chart, and Part 5, the Civil Surgeon's Certification, of Form I-693 (in an envelop sealed by the civil surgeon). "

So if your vaccination record was complete overseas, you should be good, no?

The I-693 is not required in your packet since the one done during your K-1 is still valid based on your timeline. You did need to include a copy of the DS-3025 vaccination form. Tim received a copy at the medical with a cover letter that stated save this form it will be needed for later immigration processes.

[roralau 8]

I read that on the guide too about the I-693.

But I told my husband to include anyways a copy of the medical report that they gave me at the embassy for my K-1 and a list of ALL my vaccinations, since they only wrote down what they needed.

At the POE they just took my sealed envelope and just had a look inside the medical envelope I had with me.

(I assume there was a copy too in the envelope).

I had kinda the same problem but luckily my now husband went to the manager of the complex where we live and told him that he was going to receive packages and mail with my name on it.

They put it with the mail to "sort/send back to sender",I luckily received an email saying that they delivered something for me but there was no sign in the mail.

Hopefully it'll take less than a month to have that letter!!!!!!!

Can't they email you a copy in the meantime??

They sent me an appointment time by email this afternoon! So today got a little bit better.

Thanks so much for your words of support!
