Do I need another Medical Exam for my GC interview?

[Bucchan 1]

Hi, I have my GreenCard Interview (K-1→AOS) next month and I'm confused about medical exam. Please help me!

I took my medical exam overseas in Oct 2020 then filed I-485 in Jun 2021 so I don't think I need to get another medical exam, according to the form I-693 instruction. Also my DS3025 is completed. 

However, USCIS is now requiring COVID vaccine and  this page below says 

K-visa applicants are not required to receive the COVID-19 vaccine as part of the immigration medical examination; however, the other components of these Technical Instructions do apply to all applicants.(←what does it mean!?)

https://www.cdc.gov/immigrantrefugeehealth/panel-physicians/covid-19-technical-instructions.html

 

And this page below says 

The applicant must complete the COVID-19 vaccine series and provide documentation of vaccination to the civil surgeon in person before completion of the medical examination.

https://www.cdc.gov/immigrantrefugeehealth/civil-surgeons/covid-19-technical-instructions.html

 

I called USCIS, and the guy said the normal vaccination card is fine, but I don't see any correct answers anywhere.... so I'm worried.

Can I just bring my vaccination card (which is the normal covid vaccination card I got from pharmacy) ?

Or I need to complete the Part 10. Vaccination Record of I-693 completed by a designated civil surgeon?

 

 

Thank you for your time to help me.

That only applies for medical exams that would have been conducted after they made that announcement. So, no you don’t need to do anything as long as your ds-3025 is marked complete

Just had an interview and got approved!

However, the officer first told me to take an another medical exam since the exam need to be sighed within 2 month from the interview date, she said.

BUT I showed her I-693 instruction and it says "You are not required to have another medical examination as long as you file your Form I-485 within one year of an overseas medical examination", and I told her that I called USCIS and made sure about this twice! She was a nice person from the beginning and made sure I was right and she approved. If I didn't say anything or showed her any evidence, I might have needed another exam... It may depend on the officer. So prepare well everyone!😄

Oh! and she checked my vaccination card as well!
