Question about Medical Exam

[Gaby&Talbert 1]

I have aquestion concerning the medical exam. My wife had a medical exam right before here interview at the consulate for her K3 Visa. Does the AOS require an additional medical exam?

I know for the K1 as long as the medical was done within the past year it's fine, someone will come along to confirm if it's the same for a K3. If so, all she'll need is her vaccination info transferred onto an I-693A by a USCIS civil surgeon. Do you have a copy of her vaccination supplement from her last medical? When looking around for a civil surgeon to do it make sure you specify I-693A with the A on the end, without the A it means the entire medical.

..from the FEDERAL REGISTER INTERIM REGULATIONS at USCIS website:

"C. Medical Examinations

According to 8 CFR 245.5, aliens seeking to adjust status are required to undergo a medical examination performed by a designated civil surgeon to determine whether they are inadmissible under section 212(a)(1)(A) of the Act. To date, applicants for K nonimmigrant visas have been required to obtain a medical examination abroad pursuant to Department of State regulations at 22 CFR 41.81 prior to entry, and the medical examination is not repeated if they apply for adjustment of status within 1 year of the dat e the examination was performed. They are, however, required to submit with the adjustment of status application a vaccination assessment completed by a designated civil surgeon in order to establish their compliance with the vaccination requirements under section 212(a)(1)(A)(ii) of the Act.

The Service will continue this same policy for the K-3/K-4 nonimmigrants. K-3/K-4 nonimmigrants who file their adjustment of status application within 1 year from the date of the medical examination overseas will not have to submit an additional medical examination. However, the Service notes that applicants whose medical examinations overseas revealed a “Class A” or “Class B” condition (as defined by 42 CFR 34.2( B ) ) must establish upon application for adjustment of status that they complied with those cond itions imposed on the initial admission. Failure to comply with those conditions means that a new medical examination will be required.

Ks: If you were admitted to the United States as a fiance(e) (K-1), child of a fiance(e) (K-2), Spouse of a U.S. citizen (K-3), or child of K-3 (K-4), and received a medical examination prior to admission, then you do not require another medical examination as long as your application for adjustment of status (Form I-485) is filed within one year of your overseas medical examination. You will, however, be required to submit a vaccination supplement with our adjustment of status application. The vaccination supplement must be completed by a designated civil surgeon.

Thanks everyone. I read the replies and it says to submit the vaccination records with the application but my wife is pregnant so she cannot have the vaccinations until after the baby is born. Can I still send in the application and wait for them to request the vaccination records and maybe the baby will be here by then?

You may or may not get an RFE for the supplement, the I-485 instructions state You "MAY" include the supplement.

Be prepared to bring them to an interview or send them for an RFE.
