If the beneficiary has had a medial for the visa within the past year there isn't a requirement for another medical but there is normally a requirement for a supplemental vaccination I-693A. You will need a civil surgeon. Make sure you shop around, the prices can vary by a huge amount. You might also take the xray with you. The one we saw wanted to do an xray so I gave him the one Claudeth had from the medical and saved ourselves 35 bucks. I can't find my link for the civil surgeons but am sure someone will give it to you. Good luck

I do believe that if you already had your physical exam in PI, then you won't need to take another one here. If I'm not mistaken, I-485 instructions state that all you need is your vaccination supplement.

You dont need to get a physical exam anymore just get a TD shot. I didnt go to the Civil surgeon either, i just got my TD shot and got a vaccination record from the clinic. Submit that together with the vaccination record from St. Luke's.

I suggest you print this ouy as a LOT of DCS will try and hit you up for a complete medical!

"C. Medical Examinations

According to 8 CFR 245.5, aliens seeking to adjust status are required to undergo a medical examination performed by a designated civil surgeon to determine whether they are inadmissible under section 212(a)(1)(A) of the Act. To date, applicants for K nonimmigrant visas have been required to obtain a medical examination abroad pursuant to Department of State regulations at 22 CFR 41.81 prior to entry, and the medical examination is not repeated if they apply for adjustment of status within 1 year of the date the examination was performed. They are, however, required to submit with the adjustment of status application a vaccination assessment completed by a designated civil surgeon in order to establish their compliance with the vaccination requirements under section 212(a)(1)(A)(ii) of the Act.

The Service will continue this same policy for the K-3/K-4 nonimmigrants. K-3/K-4 nonimmigrants who file their adjustment of status application within 1 year from the date of the medical examination overseas will not have to submit an additional medical examination. However, the Service notes that applicants whose medical examinations overseas revealed a “Class A” or “Class B” condition (as defined by 42 CFR 34.2( B ) ) must establish upon application for adjustment of status that they complied with those cond itions imposed on the initial admission. Failure to comply with those conditions means that a new medical examination will be required.

no need for you to have your medical exam here coz its valid for a year. the vaccine form/result given to you by SLEC is to be presented to the surgeon for your TD shot.
