How Many Medicals? Before visa approval and after???

[Jeff&Laura 29]

Hi Guys,

 

We had our medical in the UK and successful received our visa, moved home (USA) and just got married ❤️ 🎇 

 

Our attorney is advising us that we have to do another medical now in the US for filing a change of status.

 

Do we really have to do a second medical?

 

We are meeting with him in the morning. Any advise would be appreciated. 

 

Thanks in advnace.

I would say read the medical form for Civil Surgeons (I-693) Instructions on page 7

Instructions: https://www.uscis.gov/system/files_force/files/form/i-693instr.pdf?download=1

 

Start reading at 

What if I am a K nonimmigrant visa holder and already had a medical examination overseas?

Once you comprehend that, then read this entire thread about a new procedure in case your lawyer brings it up. https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/687576-change-to-medical-requirements-will-we-need-another-medical-before-aos/

 

Question for you? Did you get all your shots signed off at you visa medical at Knightsbridge?

Yes, download and print I-693, and go to civil your nearest Civil Surgeon.

And I would say, no do not go to a civil surgeon unless you failed to get all your shots prior to your visa medical.
