Do I need to see a civil surgeon?

[Réina17 77]

Hello everyone! So my fiancé and I are planning to file adjustment of status shortly after marriage on March. Do I need to see a civil surgeon before filing? I had my medical last Nov. 21,2016 at St. Lukes and I completed 5 vaccines. Just wanna ask ahead of time. TIA ?

No.   Instructions for the I-485 on page 4 section 7c  regarding the K-1 visa clearly state you only need to submit a copy of your DS-3025

I do HIGHLY suggest to print out a copy of page 4, highlight section 7c and attach it with the copy of the DS-3025 when submitting the I-485 as some adjudicators at USCIS don't know their own rules and requirements.. (they "assume" all submissions are from immigrant visas.).  Those that have included a copy of page 4 highlighted have not had issues, those that do forget to include page 4 most times get an RFE.

As an added note; I emailed USCIS on this subject and they replied that, except in special medical circumstance, that a copy of the DS-3025 was the correct document to submit.

Instrcutions on page 4 section 7c ?  I don't see anything related to DS-3024 on page 4.  Did you mean page 7?

Old post - old information.  

 

The instructions sheet for the I-485 was updated in June 2017.  Instructions sheet reads totally different now, they removed the K-1 requires from that sheet - those requirements are now listed in the instructions sheet for the I-693 .. and yes that is page 7 of that document. 

 

Now you should print out a copy of Page 7 and highlight section 3c (all of it).  Then attach that page to your copy of the DS-3025 you are submitting.. in case the adjudicator of your application doesn't know the K-1 requirements (which is fairly common .. scary to think that)
