About to file AOS, question about 693

[Mezyan 149]

So I read in the guide for AOS this: 

"

   If you are a K-1, K-2, K-3 or K-4 visa holder the I-693 instructions state that you are not required to have another medical examination as long as your Form I-485 is filed within one year of your overseas medical examination. Regardless of if you are exempt from a medical exam, you are still required to complete certain portions of the I-693 and have a Civil Surgeon certify the form (and seal it in an evelope). Specifically, you will complete Part 1 (Information about you) of the I-693 and provide both the form and your DS-3025 (if you have it, proving your vaccination history) and any proof of required vaccinations that were completed prior to entering the US. If you do not have a copy of your DS-3025 you will need to provide sufficient evidence of your vaccination history to the Civil Surgeon (talk to the civil surgeon's office to discuss what vaccination records they accept as proof). If you do not have proof of your vaccination history the Civil Surgeon may insist on re-administering all the required vaccinations prior to completing the I-693. Once the Civil Surgeon has has verified that all required vaccinations have been performed, they will complete form I-693 Part 2 (the vaccination section) and Part 5 (the Civil Surgeon's Certification). They will then seal the form in an envelope and return it to you."

 

Is this for real? He needs to go to a civil surgeon to get the form completed? 

 

Seems like elsewhere on the website it has been said that you only need to include 3025, no mention about the 693 and seeing civil surgeon. Any help is greatly appreciated 😁

Of course its for real.   You don't even need the ds3025 as long as its marked complete. The original is in the medical report as well.

So even though he has done a medical 6 months ago, we need to see a civil surgeon to have him complete form 693? 

 

Sorry to be daft, just seems excessive.

Your not understanding. 

 

If you file the i485 within one year of his medical then you do NOT need the i693.  If the ds3025 is marked complete then you do NOT need the vaccination section of the i693  completed.

I think payxibka didn't understand your question.

 

No, you don't need to get a civil surgeon to fill out a 693 if your DS 3025 was marked completed.
