I-485 Medical Exam ??? !!

[tuesday03 0]

hello --

do we need to have a medical exam done BEFORE we submit the I-485 ? or will they schedule a medical exam date for us ? ? i see in many people signatures that they have a medical exam date around a month before their interview date .....

do we need to submit any medical info with the I-485 ?

thanks !

You don't need the medical exam until after you file the I-485. Just wait until they contact you and provide you with another new list of things to do and bring.

Not quite true... to avoid a RFE for this matter you will need to send the complete medical I693 and I693a from the civil surgeon in your area.

for your situation use this guide!

also here is the medical vaccinations you will need to lookinto if your wife does not have them or a record of them...

for most people just need MMR, TD, varicella

Once again to avoid a RFE which will hold up your processing time, please refer to the above guides for all that you will need to send with your I485 package.

No. You need do complete the medical and include I-693 with the AOS packet, or else you will get an RFE and it will slow down your case processing.

If you're coming from a K1 then you only need the supplement I-693A and not the medical itself, as long as yours was done less than a year ago.

HI,

be sure to include the medical before you apply for the AOS, otherwise you get an RFE right away. Good luck.

I believe the OP's wife came in on a tourist visa, so needs the medical.

I didn't have the extra info so I just said what's common, although I did say IF.

Yes, if you came on a turist visa and is now adjusting status you need to contact a civil surgeon from the list provided by USCIS and do a medical exam, in which you'll need to supply information on your vaccination record or take new shots and tests.
