Hello all,

 

Quick question as my wife and I prepare her adjustment of status applications.  She entered the country on January 29th on a K-1 visa and since then we have married and currently have an application out for her SSN.

 

We will file our AOS documents once her new SSN is received but I had a couple of questions:

 

  • For the Medical examination I've read that she is exempt if she completed an examination as part of her K-1 interview.  She did in fact complete this step, but those records were in her sealed packet that was provided to CBP when she entered the country.  She never received any sort of confimation of her medical exam other than this so I'm wondering what to do about this Form I-693.  Do we ignore it with a written explaination as to why or should be have some sort of supporting doucmentation regarding her prior medical exam.  If we cannot get this, then does she need to schedule one before we can apply for the AOS.
  • We'd like to file her AOS documents as soon as we get the above question answered, but we realized we do not have a copy of her passport arrival stamp as her passport is current at the SSA offices.  We do have a copy of her passport bio page, her k-1 visa and her i-94 record.  Can we proceed with filing without the arrival stamp or would it be better to wait until we receive her passport back from SSA.  If a few weeks go by and we approach our 90 limit, and we still do not have her passport, I'm assuming I should submit what we do have with a written explaination as to why we do not have a copy of the stamp?

 

Thanks as always everyone.

You do NOT need an i693 unless she did not complete her vaccinations.  

YMMV

She did complete them but we don’t have any documentation of this since we do not have documents from her examination.  We do have a vaccination record from her home country.  What information would I include in our AOS packet if not the i693?

You need to look at the bottom left of the ds3025 vaccination record.    If it is marked complete,  you are golden and you don't need to include anything in you AOS package.

Don't wait to file AOS.

 

If you applied for the SSN after marriage, it could be months and months until received.

Thank you.  So I submit the original copy of the DS3025 with my AOS packet I'm asusming.  I noticed that ours was marked:  "Immigrant Visa or Parolee applicant completed vaccination requirements" .  The 2nd box related specifically to K-1 applicants was not marked.  I'm guessing this is no issue and shouldn't have an issue as long as the orignal form is included, correct?

You do not need to submit any copy of the DS3025 in your application as the original is with your medical report.
