Interview tomorrow - a couple of last minute questions

[VisaSoldier 0]

I-693....this is really bothering me. My wife and I have our appointment tomorrow at the Atlanta field office. When filiing the I-485 I did not submit an I-693 because she came on a K1 Visa and she already had the exam within a year of filing. However, I read on one of the guides here that everyone is required to submit the I-693 reguardless of if you were exempt or not, however thats not how I interpreted the instructions on the I-485 form, which states as long as the exam was done within a year, it is still valid. My concern is, the interview is slightly our of the 1 year window for the exam, the exam was given June 9th of last year. My question is, should I be fine or what is the worst case scenario for me on this?

Her vaccination record from the exam also was check, INCOMPLETE, but it mentioned she could receive waivers for the remaining shots because she was too young to get them.

Please shed some light on the situation.

God bless you all.

As far as the medical, it is within the year.

In the instructions, http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-485instr.pdf, under general instructions item 8, it is clear you need an I-693 vaccine supplement. Which consists of page one and 5 of the I-693. This has to be completed by a civil surgeon.

We had to travel 3 hours to find a CS that would just do the I693, most wanted to do an entire exam.

Good luck

I was wondering about this too. I applied for AOS in December 2011 and am still waiting a decision, its now the end of June 2012, which means that my medical which was done in August 2011, is nearly 1 year old. Surely as long as the medical results were less than 1 year when I applied, that there still valid. Would they really force you to get another medical because it took USCIS long to get to your interview?

I believe it's based on your filing date. If it's still within the year when you apply, you should be good to go.

We actually just got done and got approved, they never asked me any medical information.

Congrats!

It was mentioned in this thread that you have to get an I-693 from a civil surgeon no matter what, but that is not true. Just in case anyone else reads this thread and wants to know if they need to see a civil surgeon or not, they should read this post and see if their DS-3025 is fine on its own: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/335754-ds-3025-complete-or-not/page__p__4971318#entry4971318

I had my interview a couple of days ago and got RFE'd on the spot because we didn't file the I-693. My case is exactly the same as yours. Guess we were just unlucky.
