aos I-693 requirement for GC interview (K1 based AOS)

[gvc 0]

Hi Visa Journey Community,

 

Would appreciate your help / inputs on my case. Here are the key dates:

 

- October 15, 2019: Date of medical examination by panel physician authorized by US embassy in India.

- December 03, 2019: Date of entry to US, The sealed envelope with the results of the medical examination was handed over to the immigration officer.

- January 13, 2020: Filed for I-485/AOS with DS-3025 in lieu of I-693

- April 05, 2022: Date of upcoming interview

 

Urgent help/inputs needed: 

1.     Do I need fill in I-693 for the GC interview and get a medical completed by a civil surgeon in the US?

2.     I am fully vaccinated for Covid-19 and have my vaccination card issued by CDC. Do I need any additional documentation/proof to be submitted towards by Covid-19 vaccination status?

 

Thanks a ton!

No and no. You filed AOS within a year of your overseas medical so you don’t need to complete another one. However, since it has been a long time since you filed, IO might ask you to complete another medical after the interview. It depends on the IO.

Interesting.  
 

If money was no object, then based on what you wrote I advise OP to get another I-693, because time to approval is more important to me than $500 or so.

Yes, there was one poster recently who had that experience:

I wonder if it’s just the IO not knowing the rules? 
 

Anyway, I agree, if money isn’t an issue, better come fully prepared for any ‘surprises’.
