Medical exam for adjustment of status for a spouse

[heamatite2000 34]

Hello everyone, 

 

just a quick question, what are the pros/cons about waiting until the interview to do the medical exam/i-693 or to just put it in with all of my AOS forms?

 

thanks in advance

i-693 is only valid for 1 year and must be valid on day you get approved. So if your AOS takes longer than a year to complete then you will have to redo it and pay for it again if you did it before you sent in the paperwork. USCIS itself recommends you hold off sending it in with the other forms but some people decide to be proactive.

 

You are NOT required to submit Form I-693 at the time you file your adjustment application, but may do so if you wish. Because of the time-limited validity of Form I-693, you may choose to submit your Form I-693 after you file your Form I-485. You may also submit Form I-693 in person at an interview in a USCIS field office, if an interview is required. By waiting to submit Form I-693, you may avoid having to repeat the immigration medical examination.
