I-693 Question

[JasonS1 51]

Hi all,

 

I am completing form I-693 for AOS (not on a K1 visa) and have some questions regarding the most efficient way to complete the form. My questions are as follows:

 

1. Should I get the STD tests for syphilis and gonorrhea completed by my primary care physician first and then bring those results to the Civil Surgeon?

 

2. I have a booklet of my vaccines, if I am missing one is it most recommended to get the vaccination from CVS once the Civil Surgeon has identified missing vaccinations?

 

3. Do I need to go back to the Civil Surgeon after I get my missing vaccinations or do I simply show them to the USCIS officer? 

 

4. How long does it normally take to complete form I-693?

 

Any other experiences/tips would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you.

2. I have a booklet of my vaccines, if I am missing one is it most recommended to get the vaccination from CVS once the Civil Surgeon has identified missing vaccinations?  No.  The Civil Surgeon will give any missing vaccines.

 

3. Do I need to go back to the Civil Surgeon after I get my missing vaccinations or do I simply show them to the USCIS officer? Civil Surgeons will not sign off on incomplete medical exams, so best bet is to get any missing vaccines at that appointment.

 

4. How long does it normally take to complete form I-693?  Not sure what you mean. Do you mean for the doctor to complete and sent to the consulate, or?

 

Any other experiences/tips would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you.

Thank you.

as an applicant you should not be completed the form

 

1) you can get the blood work done with your insurance company and take the results to your USCIS I-693 physician.

2)  you can get it anywhere. all the USCIS physician needs is documented proof

3) you go back to civil surgeon, nothing to show to USCIS officer 

4) 1-2 weeks depending on your location.

Definitely get all of the tests done and vaccines by your regular doctor if you have insurance that will cover it.  We did the vaccines and bloodwork, but I forgot about the STD test - They hit us for a bill for $300 cash only for that bloodwork, the vaccines we were fine with.
