Medical exam

I think I was confusing in my previous post about I-693; that is why, I have a simpler question to ask. If one is a K-1 adjuster and had her medical done 6 months ago, does she need to complete another medical for I-693 for her green card interview?

no, i don't think so. should be good for another 6 months. did she get the vaccination supplement sent in, too?

The medicals are valid for 1 year, however in my case, it had been closer to 2 years by the time my interview came around, and I was never questioned about it. I think the general rule is that so long as you submit your AOS application within a year of the K-1 medical, then you should be fine.

She will, however, need the vaccination supplement, which she can get from a Civil Surgeon (see the USCIS website to find one in your area). It's worth calling around to get prices, as it can vary quite a lot from place to place. Don't let the civil surgeon's office convince you that she needs another full medical - this simply isn't the case. When I was getting my vaccination supplement, one place told me I needed the full medical and wanted $185 for it, yet another place would do just the supplement for $40.
