I-693 and DS-3025

[LucaBonnie 0]

Hi everyone,

I'm a bit confused as to filing the I-693 for my AOS. I came into the country on a K-1 and had my medical, along with the vaccine shots, done at the medical visit in Naples. They handed me the usual brown envelope with all the medical info in it and told me not to open it and that I had to hand it over at the time of my interview.

At the embassy the next day they never requested it, and told me to hand it over at POE.

Well, at POE they didnt want it. I asked them if they wanted it and the officer said to me "I'm not a doctor! I dont want it". (seriously)

Anyway, now I have the original brown medical envelope here with me with all the docs that were in it. chest x-ray, DS-3025, DS-2054, ds-3026.

What should i send in for the AOS??

THanks

Go back to your POE ASAP and speak with another immigration officer and tell them what happened. Did he get an I-94 that's dated for 90 days?

I hope you got his name too!

ok, thanks for your reply, but, well, that wont be possible. When they gave me my medical envelope they told me to bring it, sealed, to the embassy for my interview. At the interview i was granted the K-1. I asked them if they needed the medical envelope. They said "No, its not an intergral part of the K-1 application. Hang on to it and they MAY ask for it at POE".

So, when at POE they did not take it, I got home and, well, opended it. I photocopied the documents for my files, (they included my vaccination record), and threw away the envelope, (only the envelope, not its contents). Only after reading the documents needed for AOS and form I-693 did i realize that maybe there was something wrong here.

Moral of the story is that (a) i did not hand in the medical envelope at POE and (b) i opened the envelope and copied the contents. © i ripped up the envelope!

Help. what should I do? Should I just include all the contents in my AOS application and explain all this on the covering letter?

Just wait, someone with more expert advice will come soon.. I don't think you should've opened it though, and they really should've taken it as that is the usual procedure. Like I asked, did you get an I-94 dated for 90 days? We're you registered as a k1?

yes, I was registered as a K-1 and got 90 days. Thanks for your help. I've been reading here that i'm not the only one with a similar problem...

thanks

[Messybrownhair 251]

Well that's good then. Goodluck and welcome to the US!

Well personally I would sent it with the AOS application BUT you opened it so it's no "safe" anymore.

So you have 2 options:

1. Send it and see if they RFE you (I think they will)

2. Do an I-693 FULL medical and send that with AOS docs.

I would personally send the K1 medical stuff before wasting money on an I-693 medical. Best case scenario they accept it (opened and all), worst case they RFE you and you do the I-693 medical. Not a massive drama.

Thank you for your reply. I think i will follow you suggestion and just send everything and explain it the situation on the cover letter. Should i send in my xrays too? I would guess so. Thanks

ok so now i have another question. Should I still send in the I-693 with only the first part filled out or should i ONLY send in the contents of the medical examination which includes DS-3025?

Do NOT send the I-693 unless you actually have completed it. Doing just part 1 will result in an RFE.

Send ALL the medical that you had from your K1, but NOT the actual xray film because the "translation" is in the medical stuff.

Thanks for the reply. I then will not send in the I-693 form. Should I actually mention on the cover letter that they did not take my mediacl info at POE or should I not mention anything?
