My wife came over to the US under a K1 visa and was issued a medical exam in manila. All she returned with her is some xrays of her chest and a form that has her shots on it. I think its the DS-3025 form. Anyhow on the form it says that immigrant chose to be vaccinated here. Im lost...what is this I693 form and where do I get it? Does she have to do the entire medical screening process again? Any insight will help us 2. Thanks!!

She needs to visit a civil surgeon (you can find a listing on the USCIS website). She will need to have the Td, Varicella and DDT shots. They will then give you a form called a I693 supplemental form in a SEALED envelope. You will send this sealed envelope together with your adjustment of status paperwork. Get the number of as many civil surgeons that are within driving distance of you, the prices will vary greatly. If filing the adjustment of status within one year of the K-1 medical exam in Manila, you DO NOT need another full medical exam, don't let any of the cival surgeon tell you that you do. The total cost should be around $100 to $200 depending on the cost and number of shot needed.

Travel back to Denver, turn in card and I-90 to correct their mistake.

Application accepted, asked for I-551 stamp, they told me "We don't do stamps anymore"

NOA1 for I-90 received from NSC April 18 2005, fee waived

NSC appears to have stoped processing I-90's

Hey thanks for your help! So all they need is their vaccinations done thats good. Im in the military and can get all their shots done for free. Can I get my wife caught up on all the shots she needs at the hospital and then bring the shot record with her to get the I 693 done at the civil surgeons office? Do the same rules apply for my daughter under a K2 visa?

Depends completely on the civil surgeon and what they will or won't do, impossible to tell but if you get the shots for free, it is worth a try. Required vaccinations vary with age. See this chart.

Thanks for the table! I will bring that in when I get marvilyn's immunizations done at the hospital so they know what needs to be done.
