AOS: SLEC Medical Still Valid, No Need for i-693?

[snowcat 58]

Hi all,

 

My St. Luke's medical exam/vaccination record (DS 3025) is still valid until November 2017 (a year after I had my medical in the Philippines). Does this mean I don't need to submit form i-693 (medical form) for my AOS anymore? Our vaccines at SLEC are considered complete, right? Or are there other vaccinations I have to undergo here in the US?

 

Thanks.

If the vaccination page is marked appropriately as being completed you can just submit that with the AOS packet. That's what we did.

There is a section that I talk about this and what are good supporting to avoid a denial or 221 (g) found here http://tinyurl.com/ob9xoa8. Use the tab about Civil Surgeon and I-693 under the AOS tab you'll see the topic.

Great, thanks everyone! I just checked and my DS-3025 has a check mark on "COMPLETE vaccinations", so I will just be submitting this. Thanks again!

According to the instructions for the I-485 you only need to include a copy of your DS-3025.  Trouble is.. many adjudicators don't know their job.

 

The instructions state you only need to submit the vaccination supplement... not a medical report.

 

I always suggest to print out a copy of Page 4 of the instructions, highlighting section 7c  and attaching it to the copy of the DS-3025.  PLUS if you are interviewed later on to bring the instructions page to the interview.   This has saved a lot of hassles for others that have done this.

I have also emailed USCIS on this topic and have an email from them confirming this is correct.  I-693 is not needed except in special medical situations.

Great advice as always, Sagot! Thank you.

If I'm not mistaken, it is valid 1 year after your medical exam at SLEC... So it should be valid until July 11, 2018.

  In regards to the visa the medical is good for 6 months, just need to be in the USA before the expiration date on the visa.  Once you are in the USA you have 90 days from DATE OF ENTRY to get married (medical has no bearing on this).

 

In regards to AOS, after marriage, your medical is good for one year.  There is more info on this topic earlier in this topic
