I have not done the medical examination yet. Do I still submit the i-693 form to the i-485 package when I send it all off, or do I send the i-693 later when I've done the medical examination?

I think itll be processed faster if you submit it along with your AOS application. otherwise you will prolly receive a request for evidence...

best to get it done and send it with the AOS package - don't think you can later. It has to be in a sealed envelope from a civil surgeon - there is a list of civil surgeons you can locate by zip code on the USCIS website.

You misunderstand. You must get your medical done NOW and send the results from the Civil Surgeon in with your initial package. The Civil Surgeon will put the results in a sealed envelope for you, and you send the sealed envelope (don't open it!) in with your initial package.

Medical must be done and included in AOS package.

My doctor has sealed the envelope and put my name and DOB on it.

But have not mentioned anything like 'medical' OR I-693.

Wondering if i need to write something on it (without opening, just outside) so that they know its' I-693?

Please suggest.

We wrote on the outside what it is - just in case they opened everything and it fell out or something.

I am not sure if you're supposed to though!

the doctor I went to sealed my I-693 in an envelope with her name on it and stamp. I did not write anything on it when i sent my AOS package and I already have my biometrics appointment. No RFEs. You will be fine not writing anything on it.

They see a lot of these, I'm sure they'll figure it out either way.

There's always a third option: Put a sticky note on it that says "I-693"

Do Civil Surgeon supposed to provide you copy of the completed forms before sealing?

Mine didn't. The only copy was the one that was sealed.

The one we used gave us a copy, along with instructions telling us it was good for one year, don't open, etc. I was glad we got a copy, otherwise that sealed envelope would have haunted me until it was mailed off. (Which took 11 months and 15 days.)

Glad you mailed out 15 days before and saved $500


Do you think i should ask my doctor copy of this? Is there any use of this later?


thanks !

[Xanax]

In my honest and humble opinion, there is no use for it, they can tell you everything that was on it.

If there was anything wrong you would know, the doctor would have informed you. Having the document , realistically isn't much use for anything ,unless you want to chronical your medical records.

The point of the medical is to make sure you will not bring anything bad into the US, it's not really for "you" per se, it is for the government to ensure you will not be a liability in any shape or form.
