Medical returned on entry into US on K1

[SarahStanton 0]

Hi there,

 

my medical was returned to me on k1 entry into the US, now for the AOS- what do I submit? the full original medical or just the copy of the vaccine record that was provided to me by the doctor when we completed the medical in our home country, I’m trying to avoid doing another medical in the US as mine are still valid, Thanks

Are you sure it’s the sealed medical that was returned? What was the reason for CBP officer returning it?

He opened the medical envelopes, looked at the documents. Returned them to me and said I would need them in the US. And that was that?

That is out of the norm. CBP must take it and then send it to USCIS. It is not valid anymore as it’s been unsealed. USCIS won’t accept an unsealed medical packet.

Seems the CBP officer made a mistake in processing your entry.  As mentioned above, CBP should have sent the medical report directly to USCIS.  You could try booking an appointment for deferred inspection to hand the documents back to CBP for proper handling -- https://www.cbp.gov/contact/ports/deferred-inspection-sites

 

Even so, it's likely that USCIS will want you to repeat your medical, as your report from overseas has already been unsealed.
