k1-k2 medical exam validity period

[bankduchess 6]

We've applied for a k1 and K2 visa but the plan is I'll go to the US first then my son will follow after a few months. I know his k2 is valid for a year but my concern is his medical... isnt it valid only for 6 months? will he need to retake it if he will follow lets say after 10 months? thanks in advance

Medicals are valid for a year as far as I know

(mod hat off)

Generally medical exams are valid for one year, getting them don early will shorten the necessary validity when it comes to filing AOS. Review this great link:

The medical exam, for the purpose of obtaining the visa is good for 6 months. http://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/policy_updates/CDC_Revisions_to_Visa_Medical_Examinations%20%2802-2015%29.pdf

For AOS, the medical needs to be done within a year of filing. http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/551080-immunizations-ds-3025-or-i-693/
