Good morning,

I have a question for everyone that has had experience with the K-1 visa. My fiancé arrived a week ago. He had his medical examinations done in Cuba prior to arriving to the US. I am in the process of doing everything else he has to do, like Social Security drivers license marriage certificate and so on. I came across form I-693 about medical examinations but I am a little confused if he has to complete that since he already got medical examinations done in Cuba. I know this form is important because you have to submit medical examinations when you do the adjustment of status.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thank you so much

You need to find a local Civil Surgeon and have them transcribe the vaccination record onto the 693.

Do a Google search for the list of CSs in your area.

Shop around because they are free to charge whatever they want for the transcription.

Also make sure the one you choose understands they are to only do a transcription, many want to repeat the entire medical examination.

They then transcribe the records onto the 693, sign it and give it to you in a sealed envelope. You send that in with your 485 documents.

You may not need to see a civil surgeon. Many do not. See this very detailed, helpful sticky post to find out whether you do or not > http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/551080-immunizations-ds-3025-or-i-693/
