Use of a prior TB test for I-693

[Eruthos 39]

Hi all! 

 

So, I plan to get my physical for the I-693 soon, and I have no worries about that at all. One thing I was wondering though, is that I did a TST (TB skin test) in May of 2014 before I came to the USA on my F-1 visa. Now, for my AOS, I'll have to do one for the I-693. My question though.. My Dutch doctor is willing to send me a letter in English, verifying I tested negative for TST in 2014. A colleague of mine said he used his old TB results to get everything filed, although that was in 2008. Does anyone know if this is still done?

I would imagine you'll need an up to date one

if you last TB test is a year old then you need to do it again.

You probably will need an updated one, USCIS changed alot of things on the I-693 form. Now they require you do STD test too...... So years ago it would have been fine but now not so much. You should still have the result and explain to the CS to see if it is acceptable. Just to reduce the amount you will spend on the medical.
