Hi,

My fiance and I are about to get married and I'm trying to get everything ready for the AOS package. I came to the US on an H1B visa in 2006 and didn't have a medical exam after that. Now when I go to a civil surgeon to fill the I-693, I just wanted confirmation that I will be required to undergo the full medical exam and get all the needed shots. The surgeon I contacted charges 225 for the full medical. Is that reasonable and the normal charge for a complete medical?

Thanks....

If you have not had an immigration medical within the past year, then a complete medical is needed

$225 is about what we paid

YMMV

I agree that adjusting from an H1B you will probably need a new full medical. I have seen reports that some charge as little as $129, and $150 is quite common. Shop around - don't just go for the closest one.

K-1:

January 28, 2009: NOA1

June 4, 2009: Interview - APPROVED!!!

October 11, 2009: Wedding

AOS:

December 23, 2009: NOA1!

January 22, 2010: Bogus RFE corrected through congressional inquiry "EAD waiting on biometrics only" Read about it here.

March 15, 2010: AOS interview - RFE for I-693 vaccination supplement - CS signed part 6!

March 27, 2010: Green Card recieved

ROC:

March 1, 2012: Mailed ROC package

March 7, 2012: Tracking says "notice left"...after a phone call to post office.

More detailed time line in profile.

Yes you will need a medical.

Cheaper than my K1 medical, without shots it was AU$300!!
