AOS I693 form

[charlene 0]

My finacee had the exam before the interview as is necessary and now we are in the AOS stage and I am not sure about

the I693 form.....do we have to go to another doctor here and take the form he was given (a one page vaccivnation documentation worksheet

from Canadian doctor...the form says at the top...for Canadian use only)

and have a US doctor fill in the I693 form?

Any information would be helpful???

From what I remember, as long as you had the medical done within the last year, no new medical is required. When I sent in my AOS pkg for me and my son, it was 10 months since I had the medicals done. When assembling the AOS pkg, I included a copy of both mine and sons vaccination cards and a copy of 1 sheet where my son needed an additional vaccination, which we got and I had my doctor sign that page. Immigration has a copy of your medical exam with them, so theres no need to worry about that. I hope this helps.

You can take the vaccination record to a listed doctor on the USCIS website, and pay through the nose to have them transfer the info. Some will tell you that you need to take another exam. Which is NOT the case.

You can send it to the doctor in Texas(?) who will do the transfer for you for I believe $10.

Or you can take a gamble and just send a copy of the vaccination record from the medical instead of the I693A like I did and still get approved.

BUT it is a gamble, you may get an RFE for the I693A.

Are all of his vaccinations complete and up to date? Does it say that on the vaccination worksheet? If so, you could try just including a copy of the vaccination worksheet in with the AOS application. It will probably be accepted as is. If he doesn't have all of his vaccinations, then he will have to get the missing vaccinations and then take the worksheet and proof of the missing vaccinations being done to a US Civil Surgeon - there is a list of recognized physicians on the USCIS website. The Civil Surgeon will transfer the information from the worksheet and the updated vaccination records to a vaccination supplement sheet, put it in a sealed envelope and give you a photocopy (make sure you request one if he doesn't). It can cost anywhere from around $25 to $50. Many Civil Surgeons will try to tell you that you need a full medical - you don't. If they won't do just the transfer of information to the supplement, find another Civil Surgeon who will. There is a Texas Civil Surgeon who is willing to do the information via mail and he charges only $10 last I heard.

You don't have to include the supplement with the original application, although you are supposed to have it available by the interview - if you have an interview. As I said earlier, if the vaccination worksheet shows that his vaccinations are complete, I would just include that instead of getting the supplement done at this point in time. That is what I did and I was approved without an RFE and without an interview. Hehehe, I did go ahead and get the Vaccination Supplement done planning to bring it to the interview - I still have it sitting in my files.

Read this pinned topic in the AOS forum, Charlene. Forms I-693a and DS-3025

I did not send in an I-693a form, either, and was also approved without an RFE or an interview.
