Is the I-693 necessary to submit for our AOS phase?

[Tangelo5 1]

Hello immigration community, thanks for all the support on here! I have a question. My fiance and I got married a few weeks ago after she arrived to the USA on the k1 visa. Before arriving here and a few months ago, she had undergone a medical evaluation and all the required vaccinations for the visa. Now that we are filling out the adjustment status, we are not in agreement whether we need to submit form I-693 or not. She says that we don't need to file form I-693 because her overseas vaccination report has not expired yet. I think we have to file it anyway because it is on the Visa Journey AOS checklist. Could someone please point us in the right direction and provide an explanation? Regards.

If she got all required vaccinations and medical is still valid, she doesn't need a new one.

So would not needing a new one because her medical and vaccinations are still valid mean that we don't have to file I-693? Thanks for the clarification.

Previously, the I-693 was only valid for something like 60 days after it was signed.  That is no longer the case.  USCIS already has your I-693.  K-1 does not submit I-693 unless specifically asked for it via RFE from USCIS.  You can send your DS-3025 though.

Waiting for RFE strategy only adds delay in overall case processing. There's no downside to attaching copy of DS-3025 in initial filing to give case reviewer instant reminder somebody completed medical already.

I was referring to RFE for the I-693 (which they almost certainly will not get since it should still be valid), not the DS-3025.  I said they should send the DS-3025.

The I-693 instructions are very clear about this. Please read the bottom of page 7, and the beginning of page 8, and it explains exactly under what circumstances an I-693 is not required for someone who entered the country on a K-1.
