I-693

[Paulily 0]

Did anyone have to pay the civil surgeon for the I-693?

The Dr.'s office is telling me that the INS is requiring another medical to receive the I-693.

Has anyone else had this expierence?

Please Help ! !

Lots of the Designated Civil Surgeions try to hit you up for more money by doing a complete medical.

Full medical isn't required by USCIS if you had your St. Lukes medical within one year.

You only need the Supplemental I-693 vaccination records.

Take the I 3025 vaccination records from St. Lukes with you.

Here's the rules.

FEDERAL REGISTER INTERIM REGULATIONS at USCIS website,

"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 dat e 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.

Call some more DCSs.

Call around, and be firm you only need the supplement done.

When I showed the doctor the I-485 directions. He went from 300+ down to $35 for the supplement.

I called almost all doctors from my area and they all had diffrent price, I suggest call civil surgeons that they are in your area. If you have already I-693 that is not older than year, then you need just supplement form.

Good luck!

Definitely call around. We paid $70 and Claudeth had to have a tetanus shot. They also gave us a copy of the form that they sealed in the envelope.
