Official Medical Validity info

[Melyssa 0]

I'm still reading people saying different things about how long our medicals are good for.

Six months or one year? I want to believe one year, but where's the official information? I don't remember reading it on my Packet 3 from Montreal - I just remember reading that the Police certificate is good for one year. So it makes sense that the medical would be, too, but then why are some saying it's only good for six months?

Melyssa,

Its One Year - I've read in a few places, but can only put my finger on Line 13 HERE So if you apply for AOS within that time, in most cases another medical exam (and accompanying time, money etc,) is not required (only the vaccination supplement, which is easy). Hope this helps...

Medicals in Canada are good for six months. This from the doctor himself.

May be different in other countries, but in Canada that's the timeframe of validity.

Hope this helps, L.

That's weird if it is only for 6 months because USCIS considers them good for 1 year when you file for AOS (from a K visa).
