confused about transcribing info onto I-693 form

[EVOLUTION` 0]

After reading about the AOS facts I called around about transcribing the information onto i-693 form. according to VJ guideline this is what it said "-693, Medical Examination of Aliens Seeking Adjustment of Status. (If you already have this from your overseas Visa Interview submit a copy that medical check form; No fee is required in this case. 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. You may include the vaccination supplement with your adjustment of status application.)"

So we went to our appointment at the approved uscis doctor, this was done after I made the call asking specificly about transcribing the info onto i-693 form like everyone's been doing. The assistance said oh yeah we can do that. After spending an hour in their office and the nurse was transferring the vaccination information onto their version of I-693 which was only the vaccination record. After showing all the test result that was done in Thailand which was required for the nonimmigrant fiance(e) visa. She asked me what's are these papers for? "They're for you to transcribe onto the I-693," I said. She went out of the room and made all the copy of the test result taken from Bumrungrad hospital where my wife had her medical examination done. Then she came back and said oh, I have some bad news for you. Ok your wife needs the following shots and she'll need to get these testing done. So I asked her, what test? She replied back, she'll need all the test done and it's gonna be $265 not including the $105 fee that you're seeing us today. I was like #######, that's why we're here so we won't have to get the test done again. Than what's the $105 for I thought it was the fee for US to get the paper work transcribe onto I-693 form. People on VJ have claimed that they had their done for less than $70. I thought $105 was pushing it.

I'm so confused right now, so my question is. Is there a form that mention that K1 filers don't have to get the medical examination done again if they 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)

Sorry for the long write up, I'm need to vent out.

You are asking them to transcribe info on to a I-693..... that is the full medical forms.... You should be asking for a Vaccination report I-693A and all you need to show them is the vaccination worksheet you were given at your medical for K1....

The official statement about K1s/K2s only needing a vaccination supplement, form I-693A (not I-693, that is the full medical), is stated in the USCIS instructions for form I-485.

Thanx guys I'll look that up. I guess I was confused too about the i-693 form, so let me get this straight. There's I-693 and I-693a? the I-693A is the one I need?

yes! i-693a for K1

What most people have transcribed onto an I-693A is the information that was on the DS-3025 Vaccination Worksheet that was filled out by the Panel Physician who did the visa medical exam. Is "all the test result" that you write about in your post the DS-3025?

Further, the DS-3025 must be complete - all vaccinations marked as either given or should be waived as medically inappropriate. Is that the case for your wife? It may not be if you were told that "your wife needs the following shots". K-visa applicants do not need all of the vaccinations to get their visa, but they do need them all - or have them waived - to adjust status.

misa,

Yes, a vaccination supplement (lower case, not capitalized). You will not find "I-693A" anywhere in the instructions for I-485. Many people - not all, but many - do fine with their DS-3025 and do not need an I-693A.

Yup. Also I should have been more clear that the instructions don't mention the actual form name/number but just "vaccination supplement".

The form DS-3025 for my wife was marked as under results:

[x] Vaccine history incomplete

[x] Applicant may be eligible for blanket waiver(s) because vaccination(s) not medically appropriate (as indicated above).

So does this mean that she don't have to get any more shots?

It may not be if you were told that "your wife needs the following shots". K-visa applicants do not need all of the vaccinations to get their visa, but they do need them all - or have them waived - to adjust status.

So I assumed that it is waived and ok to file for the AOS?

[Yodrak 7]

EVOLUTION`,

I don't know - you haven't provided enough information. What was "indicated above" for the vaccinations that she hasn't had? Was every missing vaccination identified as not medically appropriate?

Possibly not since the people in the Civil Surgeon's office that you visited told you that she needed some vaccinations. Or possibly they disagreed with the Panel Physician's assessment about what is appropriate or not for your wife.

I see that the box 'incomplete' was marked.

hey yodrak this is a copy of my wife vaccination record from bumrungrad

I'm thinking about sending this in after hearing that some of the VJ member have submitted this form instead of the I-693a for their AOS.

Be sure to keep a copy for yourselves too. If you do get the RFe for the medical supplement, you will want a copy of this to give to te civil surgeon.

[misa 2]

I think you'll want a new one transcribed saying that her vaccinations are complete (you mentioned her getting new shots) because there's a whole bunch marked "insufficient time interval" on it and none marked that she's completed the series.

on an attachment page where it list all of the following shots need to be taken from 4-6 week after 1st dose and 6-8 months after 2nd dose. My question are you required to get all of the following shots before filing the AOS? But if so I'm a little confused about the 6-8 months following shot after the 2nd dose. I'm pretty sure that most people didn't wait till they get that 6-8 months following shot to start filing for their AOS. I wanna file her AOS before she is out of status, which I'm not sure if being out of status is a bad thing or a good thing.
