DS-3025 or Form I-693 ??

[coralie.glandier@ 0]

Hello!

please help, I have read a lot about this subject but I am still not sure.

I had my medical examination in France on the 03/18/2019, I have my DS 3025, it says COMPLETED VACCINATIONS, everything is fine. 

I applied for my I485 one month later, on the 04/19/2019, using my DS 3025.

 

Now, 1 year and a half later, I finally have my appointment for green card , in October 2020.

Questions is, do I need to fill up form I693 from a civil surgeon??? Or can I still use my DS 3025 ? I filled up i485 one year after my medical examination but my interview is 1 year AND A HALF later.

Thank you!!!!

According to the USCIS policy manual, you should be good since you filed your AOS within one year of the medical exam (I assume you are adjusting from a K1 and don't fall under the two exceptions below).  

 

Good Luck!

 

4. K or V Nonimmigrants Applying for Adjustment ^[26]

K and V nonimmigrants applying for adjustment of status are not required to repeat the medical examination if the application was filed within one year of the date of the original medical examination, and:

• The medical examination did not reveal a Class A medical condition; or 

• The applicant received a conditional waiver in conjunction with the K or V nonimmigrant visa or the change of status to V and the applicant submits evidence of compliance with the waiver terms and conditions. ^[27] 

If a new medical examination is required and reveals a Class A medical condition, a new waiver application will also be required. In such cases, the officer should determine whether the applicant complied with the terms and conditions of the first waiver, if applicable. Such determination should be given considerable weight in the adjudication of a subsequent waiver application. ^[28] 

Even if a new medical examination is not required, applicants must still comply with the vaccination requirements if the vaccination record was not included as part of the original medical examination report. If the vaccination report was properly completed at the time of the overseas examination, the officer may accept the vaccination assessment completed by the panel physician. 

An applicant’s overseas medical examination report completed by a panel physician should already be in the applicant’s A-file. If it is not in the A-file, the officer should request the medical examination report through a Request for Evidence (RFE).

If the applicant was granted a change of status to V in the United States, ^[29] the medical examination report completed by the civil surgeon should be in the A-file created at the time that the change of status was initially granted.

Considering COVID-19 that messed up all rules and regulations, what about the former CR1/IR1 applicants? It’s kind of “gray area” now. Those applicants that did have their medical done overseas less than 2 years ago but abandoned Consular Processing and applied to AOS? Do they need to redo their medical or not?

Since rules and regulations are still intact it's not really a gray area. If you abandoned the consular processing then everything you did before you filed for AOS is kinda not existing. So you have to follow the rules for filing inside the US and have to do a medical not more then 60 days before you send the application in case you send it or before the interview if you haven't sent it with the application.

Fair enough, I guess. Thanks! But the overseas immunizations still can be used for I-693, right?

Of course,  if properly documented
