Hello!!!new question again....Im planning to have early medical but still wondering if 2 months advance medical is still valid if my interview date is on May 20? please I really need your ideas here.

thanks!!!

How did you find out your interview date? From what I have read one month is usually the earliest they suggest..

if you really know your date of Inetrview you can advance your medical... yeah that is right only 1 month is the earliest..

I just assume that my interview date is May 20 since we are the one who will pick for the interview date right? okay thanks for the info it really inlight me now....

hi wacky,

We also have heard that you should have the medical a maximum of 1 month in advance of interview - but i have never actually seen that officially written. maybe you might call the embassy to verify.

take care!

Warm Regards,

medical exams are valid for one year, but that pertains to filing for AOS.

) Validity of Medical Certifications .



(1) General . [Revised as of January 3, 2008; AD 07-22.] Form I-693 is normally valid for a period of 1 year from the date it was endorsed by the civil surgeon. In accordance with the agreements reached between USCIS and the CDC, if the adjustment of status application has been pending for over 1 year and Form I-693 was included with the initial filing, the adjudicating officer may accept a medical exam report that is more than 1 year old because of the pending adjustment of status application, IF there was no Class A or B medical condition noted. This agreement is in effect until January 1, 2008. See January 3, 2007, Extension of Validity of Medical Certifications on Form I-693. http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/I693MedExt010307.pdf



(2) K and V nonimmigrants . A new medical exam is not required in order to apply for adjustment of status to that of a lawful permanent resident, if one of the following scenarios exists:



• The applicant is a K or V nonimmigrant and the medical exam did not reveal any Class A or B medical condition, and the application for adjustment of status was filed within 1 year of the date of the original medical exam. If these requirements are met, the medical exam remains valid until the date USCIS adjudicates the adjustment of status application; or



• The applicant is a K or V nonimmigrant who received a conditional waiver under section 212(g) of the Act in conjunction with the K or V nonimmigrant visa or the change of status to V. The section 245 adjustment of status application must be filed with USCIS within 1 year of the date of the original medical exam, and the applicant must submit evidence of compliance with the specific terms and conditions imposed on the waiver. The medical exam remains valid until the date USCIS adjudicates the adjustment of status application. If these requirements have not been met, a new medical examination is required. And, if that new medical examination reveals a Class A medical condition, a new waiver application will also be required. In such cases, determine whether the applicant complied with the terms and conditions of the first waiver. That determination should be given considerable weight in the adjudication of a subsequent waiver application.


I like many others have heard one month in advance of the K-1 Visa interview is ok. I haven't seen any written guidelines. two members have stated six months in advance.
have they seen that written or just heard that information?

I thought it's the USEM who schedules the date of medical examination. I'm confuse. I also observed on the timelines that medical exams were scheduled a week before the interview. Some clarifications please?

Yep its USEM who does the schedule and it is usually a week before your interview. However, you can opt to take an early medical. There are some cases kasi wherein the examinee is required to take additional tests like sputum testing (for TB) or psych testing...

I see. Thank you for this clarification.

I took my annual physical exam last saturday and even if results will only be available after 7-10 days, I still called the medical clinic and asked them about the results of my chest x-ray. The records personnel told me that they already have my x-ray results but they're not allowed to disclose the result over the phone and I can just pick up the film anytime. However, the super-eager-to-find-out-me asked him again to just quickly tell me if the result is positive or negative and he said it's negative oh well, happy to know that my lungs is clear since I used to be asthmatic when I was a kid.
