Just yesterday I was asking my family doctor when I should start the treatment for latent TB ( the Civil surgeon would not sign off the vaccination part of I 693 without doing blood work etc . They found TB doing the blood work ) . My family dct said not to do any antibiotics until the chest X ray shows Tb . I guess he is not up to date with the guidelines . The X ray  was clear and the civil surgeon signed off  on the I 693 . I got my green card , nobody asked me about TB at the interview 

if blood work is positive than chest Xray is mandatory to confirm it is negative. Most europeans, asians will test positive for skin test due to the prevalence  BCG vaccination in the parts of the world

Hello again... I have a follow up question. 

His 1-94 expires Jan 04 2020 and I have everything else needed for AOS. 

 

Per 1-485: "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."

 

I'm thinking we would be better off to send off AOS packet and then continue to work on completing the missing vaccines for the 1-693. What are your or anyone else's thoughts?

 

Thank you kindly for the comments thus far.

this is the way to go. I-693 is not mandatory at the time of filing. if chest x ray confirms that you can proceed with the antibiotics

Thanks everyone for the replies :) we got an x ray done on the Thursday (thankfully for only $50)...and the next day we had a call from the doctors to say the X-ray was normal and I could pick up the forms. So our AoS is officially sent off. No more forms. No more medical visits. No more fees. Just need to wait for the interview now...feels such a relief!

You didn't need the I-693 completed before sending the AOS.  You need it for interview.  I'm sorry that no one actually answered that question for you.
