Medical exam for AOS

[Ann R 2]

Hi everyone,

 

We finally got out interview letter last week and I'm preparing for the documents to be brought on the interview day. My question right now is regarding the medical checkup if I can still use my previous K-1 medical checkup report. I've been reading a lot, now it says valid for 2 years or I might be wrong? I called various clinics yesterday and apparently the cost is over $500++ not including vaccinations if needed and it's quite expensive for me  

 

Anyone have experience going to AOS interview using their K-1 medical report? Or should I go for another one?

 

I did medical checkup in Malaysia - July 2018

K-1 Interview in Kuala Lumpur - July 2018

Enter USA via K-1 - August 2018

Married - Oct 2018

Submitted AOS form - May 2019

Did biometrics - June & July 2019 (I did twice because FBI couldnt read my fingerprints for the 1st one)

Interview - this upcoming 30th Oct

 

Appreciate if anyone can share their experiences here, or any advices for me whether I should just go for another medical checkup?

 

Thank you so much!

I remember reading that If you gotten the medical within 1 year of noa1 of aos you don’t need a new one.

On the instructions for the I-693, which is the medical exam report form it says:

If you were admitted as a:
A. K-1 fiancé(e) or a K-2 child of a K-1 fiancé(e); or
B. K-3 spouse of a U.S. citizen or a K-4 child of a K-3 spouse of a U.S. citizen; and
C. You received a medical examination prior to admission, then:
(1) You are not required to have another medical examination as long as you file your Form I-485 within one year
of an overseas medical examination; and
(a) The panel physician did not find a class A medical condition during your overseas examination; or
(b) The panel physician did find a class A medical condition, you received a waiver of inadmissibility, and
you have complied with the terms and conditions of the waiver.

 

I have my interview next week, I had my medical in London October and filed for I-485 at the end of Feb, so I won't be getting another done.

It seems like you did submit the paperwork within the year timing so you should be okay?

You are saying that you did not hand an officer at the POE an envelope marked ''DO NOT OPEN"????

Your medical report was inside the envelope you handed over,  the cd and ds3025 is your personal copy

Yeah, this is what I've been thinking and reading, some people get RFE and some are not. It seems like it depends on the IO during the interview. I'm just considering the possibilities of getting RFE if I'm using the copy that I have now and would love to know what are the experiences of other people who didn't do the second medical checkup.

I have read some people printing off and taking the instructions with them to show the IO just in case they do get asked for a more recent medical..
