Re-take medical exam for I-485 interview

[martinianodl 2]

Hi everyone,

 

I just received my I-485 interview letter and it says I must bring the Form I-693 and vaccination supplement in a sealed envelope.

 

I did the medical exam back in my home country in May 2017 and turned in the sealed envelop during my K1 interview. I have the vaccination supplement but not in a sealed envelop, since the immigration officer handed it to me in the K-1 interview.

It's also been almost 2 years since the medical exam (and I read that it has a validity of 1 year). Do I need to retake it?

 

I already scheduled an exam just in case. Would it hurt my case if I do it and I don't need it? (besides hurting my wallet )

 

 

Thanks in advance guys!

As long as you submitted your AOS application within one year of your overseas medical date and you fulfilled the vaccination requirements at that medical, you do not have to redo your medical nor submit an I693 regardless of how long it took to get an interview.
