Medical and Military Questions

[stellybelly 1]

Hi all! We are working to submit my husband’s AOS and I have two questions. 
 

We do not have the DS-2035 (he was only given a copy of the first page.) BUT we have a sealed copy of the medical exam that was intended for the embassy, but they had already received a copy and did not need it. Is it better just to send the whole packet, or open it and remove the ds-2035?

 

 In addition, my husband was required to do National service, thus we answered “yes” to questions 49&50 on the I-485. Should we include his previously submitted (to the embassy) military records as explanation to the answers to this question? We provided a brief explanation for those answers in the Additional Evidence section. 
 

thank you so kindly for your thoughts

You should submit a photo copy of your personal copy of the Vaccination Sheet only.

Neither. You shouldn't have it. Don't show anyone you do.

Your choice.

But never send originals as form instructions state.

So since we don’t have the vaccine worksheet, and we “don’t” have the medical, should we get a new medical completed in its entirely?

They DO have your medical. 

It was sent from PP to the embassy, and you carried it to your POE in the sealed visa envelope and handed it in to them.

It was then transferred from DHS to USCIS for storage in your Afile.

 

Submitting a photocopy of the DS3025 Vaccination Record is only a recommendation here.

Why do we say that?

Because most adjudicators are NOT used to K1 AOSers and are expecting I693s included in the AOS packet as they are required from EVERYONE ELSE BUT K1s. 

When they see a photocopy of the DS3025 in the K1 AoS packet, it reminds them to go look for your Afile to retrieve your medical package.

 

So the answer is a FIRM no.

Unless you are requested for a new medical, do not get one.

You'll just have to hope your adjudicator has more than half a brain and knows about K1s and the medical exception.

Thanks, I’ve drafted a cover lever citing the K1 exemption for the I-693 for the one page of the DS-2035 we do have. Hopefully we get a knowledgeable adjudicator.
