Hi,

does the physical examination come before the interview or it's possible to not ask for it, or it's possible not to have 1 at all ???

This should answer your questions.

"C. Medical Examinations

According to 8 CFR 245.5, aliens seeking to adjust status are required to undergo a medical examination performed by a designated civil surgeon to determine whether they are inadmissible under section 212(a)(1)(A) of the Act. To date, applicants for K nonimmigrant visas have been required to obtain a medical examination abroad pursuant to Department of State regulations at 22 CFR 41.81 prior to entry, and the medical examination is not repeated if they apply for adjustment of status within 1 year of the dat e the examination was performed. They are, however, required to submit with the adjustment of status application a vaccination assessment completed by a designated civil surgeon in order to establish their compliance with the vaccination requirements under section 212(a)(1)(A)(ii) of the Act.

The Service will continue this same policy for the K-3/K-4 nonimmigrants. K-3/K-4 nonimmigrants who file their adjustment of status application within 1 year from the date of the medical examination overseas will not have to submit an additional medical examination. However, the Service notes that applicants whose medical examinations overseas revealed a “Class A” or “Class B” condition (as defined by 42 CFR 34.2( B ) ) must establish upon application for adjustment of status that they complied with those cond itions imposed on the initial admission. Failure to comply with those conditions means that a new medical examination will be required.

BSzoom!! You sure have a big nose!

Did you (or your fiance/e) not have a medical overseas as part of the K3 process?

[Sand 5]

Yes, but it's been 2 years ago

[TracyTN 237]

In that case, the instructions on page 4 of the I 485 say to include the medical exam report with the application.

It appears that the only time that does not apply is if your overseas medical was within the past year. Although the instructions refer specifically to fiance/e's, I believe K3s are treated in the same manner.

So it looks like you'll have to get one done and then include those results from the civil surgeon in with your application. I suspect the civil surgeon will give you the results in a sealed envelope, so just be sure not to open that before you send it to USCIS.

I don't think its possible not to have one at all.

How did you come to the U.S.?

[TracyTN 237]

I believe their profile used to say K3 - otherwise, I made that up!
