Congrats on your greencard. Buti ka pa, free from Immigration for the next 2 years. Kami heto, kaka-submit pa lang ng I-485. Even my SS card has not arrived one month after my application. I was told to call again in a week. Ano ba yan!?

Where can we get this I-693A form? Can we download it somewhere online?

The USCIS-designated Civil Surgeon would have the I-693A form with him but you may download the form here

Well, it looks like our AOS packet is ready to go tomorrow, the 26th of July. Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh! Today, we traveled down to Licking, MO to see one of the two civil surgeons in the area (105 miles from our home) and got the rest of the paperwork done. They insisted that I take the full medical since I could not provide them all the records of the medical I had at St. Lukes. I had to explain to the attending nurse who will do the paperwork and to the civil surgeon himself that I got everything done and that all I needed is the I-693A. It was a challenge in convincing them because they laid it all out that I redo everything, otherwise, no paperwork from them. I had to show them this instruction (and good thing I was carrying it around) "If you are a K-1 fiancé(e) or K-2 dependent who had a medical examination within the past year as required for the nonimmigrant fiancé(e) visa, you only need to submit a vaccination supplement (I-693A), not the entire medical report" for them to believe me. They even had to check it to USCIS' website for confirmation. HA! Finally, the nurse did the paperwork and gave me a sealed envelope for $50 . Oh well, what matters most now is I'm done assembling the AOS packet and ready to go tomorrow, which means no filing fee increase for us! Thank God, everything went smoothly for us and fell right into places. I was beginning to lose hope that we will be able to beat the target date of mailing it.

I think its terrible how some doctor's are either misinformed or just flat out try and take advantage of the new immigrant. I have followed the AOS forum lately as that is where we are now in the process. It seems quite common that Docs try and force a full medical exam on the K1's even though its clearly not needed by the guidelines. I'm sure many unknowing immigrants and their spouses consent because they trust a doctor knows best. I'm sure that is why they do it.....because they can get away with it. I'm glad you were able to stick to your guns and that they finally gave in.

I got another question, though. Do I have to include this sealed envelope in our AOS packet or will have to provide it on AOS interview? Aside from that envelope, the nurse gave me copies of what's inside it. Can somebody lighten me up on this before I mail it away???

Yes...send that sealed envelope in with the AOS packet as proof that your shots were updated. Keep your copies, but mail the sealed envelope with your packet. Mine wasn't labeled with the contents by the Doc, so I just wrote on the outside of the front of the envelope, "I-693A". Good luck!

hi just to add uP!!mine too i was positive from tb skin test since for all we know the main reason was our bcg vaccine when we were young. i had my x-ray from the civil surgeon after that and he explained everything and upon checking my x-ray result he said i am ok and nothing to worried another thing is i do nto need to have my blood test as the community clinic nurse told me that my doctor might required that if its needed. 3 days after that the office of the civil surgeon, fax the result to community clinic coz that is where i had my tb skin test.However when we went back there they still hold the result because they are insisted this blood test again. I mentioned them that the doctor itself does not require me of that coz my xray has no problem. But it still they cannot give me complete result without completing my test as well as for them to make it assure that i am not really into contagious tb ,,very annoying by the fact it was the doctors finding that i am okay then still they would still insist (those nurses from that community clinic) that its a states requirement sigh ***. the saddest part we submitted aos however without the tb skin test result bcoz the result will be given after two weeks after, On monday is my schedule for blood test for that its another $44 for that, though its cheaper compare to the hospital well better to make it done soon since we have started it there. Il just bring the result probably during the biometrics or interview.

I'm sorry to hear about your predicament and because of that, you can be certain that you will be receiving RFE because of your incomplete AOS. I am just a little confused and curious and would like to ask some questions:

1. Why do you need to go back to the Community Clinic Nurse if you already had gone to a Civil Surgeon? USCIS only needs the I-693a (Supplement of vaccination) signed by the Civil Surgeon and if there's any comment/remarks that he need to write there about your TB skin test, that's all he needs to do and you don't need the nurse. THe Civil surgeon would only have to include a copy of the results (TB skin test and CXR results). Can you go back to the Civil Surgeon and request for the I-693a with his remarks (in sealed envelop) so you can submit that for your AOS?

2. And may I ask what "blood test" are they requiring from you? What specific blood test they said you need for the exam?

Thanks! God Bless!

Dakine · July 28, 2007

Nothing is "certain" about the AOS now.

Lots of people have not even submitted the I-693a and didn't have RFEs. Took it to the interview with them and didn't have problems.

One didn't even submit ITRs and was approved without an interview!

Others have gone to interview just with th DS 3025 and been approved!

No guarens one way or the other with AOS.

Lots of people have not even submitted the I-693a and didn't have RFEs. Took it to the interview with them and didn't have problems.

We also did not submit an I-693A or a certified marriage license when we filed the AOS because we wanted to file right away. So, we anticipated receiving an RFE but we did not. However, we did take those items to the AOS interview, which the CO did ask for during the interview. I personally would not recommend filing without the paperwork being complete, with very few exceptions, because "theoretically" there should be no way for the AOS to be approved without an interview, unless an RFE is issued and the deficiencies in the submission are satisfied.

That's my five cents. Can someone please give me back my change?

Cheers!!!

I had my tb skin test in the community clinic first. After i returned to them to show my bumps its 15mm obviously positive for the result. They referred me to take an x-ray fr that. SUpposedly it should be in the other laboratory however my husbands' doctor is one of the accredited civil surgeon in stateline medical center therefore we told them that i can take my x-ray with that doctor since he can also provide that I-1693a. That nurse told me that there are two kind of test to be done to make sure that i do not have tuberculosis. FIrst is the one we knew the x-ray and there is this second thing which is just recently the blood test. through blood test they can determine if i i do have bacteria of that. However, it depends on the doctor if i will still have my blood test if my x-ray result is not good. We went to my husbands' doctor under his medical insurance coverage which is lucky for us under his medical insurance, the x-ray cost is $85 and the doctors' visitation is $220. through the help of his insurance we paid only $25 as his co pay. going back to x-ray our doctor told us that i do not need for the blood test since everything is fine. He just asked us to get the result after 3 days and they will fax it to the community clinic where i had my tb skin test. As they give the result, the community clinis was not satisfied still with that x-ray to provide me the result of negative from tb. They are still insisting to have blood test as a new state policy to make sure that i do not have contagious disease which is tuberculosis. They said one of the accurate teest for that is BLOOD TEST.

Don't worry too much, hopefully your blood test will also be negative. If it takes 2 weeks for the results, I think they're doing the Blood Culture and sensitivity test (?). But it usually takes 3-4 weeks to grow the mycobacterium TB in cultures because they are very slow growing and needs aerobic media, if they do wait for only 2 weeks for the result, then maybe it will still be "no growth" (?) :blush: (joke). I'm sure you will be fine. Hopefully you're one of the lucky few that will not get RFE because you did not included the "TB test" results and will still get approved! :thumbs: Think positive! Good Luck and God Bless!

Sheriff Uling

Sheriff, you don't need your change ... you still "OWE" us a lot with your "expertise" and "humor". Keep it up!

Well not today... I just got blasted for "attempting" to be humorous from the most unlikely canidate... Go figure!

hopefully the op will realize a little humor can help lighten the stress of the process.
