My question was very clearly about the 693.

NYCruiser - thanks, but your first post doesn't address my issue, and your second post claims a six month window, which is incorrect.  It is one year, according to the 693 instructions.  It's ok not to know, but please try not to confuse things more than they already are.

So, just to be clear, nobody is aware of any such documentation I can provide to the civil surgeon, right?

I did ask if he did vaccination-only 693s, the receptionist said yes.  We got the the appointment and wait in the exam room and the doctor takes blood pressure and goes to another room to get the shot... literally as the vial and syringe are in his hands, he stops short and asks me if we have documentation to prove that she only needs shots and not the full physical.  I say no, I don't think there is such documentation, he says, "look, I won't charge you for this, but go talk to your lawyer and get a letter".  I ask him "what letter", and he can't be specific.  Just says he gets so many of these 693s rejected that he recommends we get "a letter" so he knows he can do shots only.  So we leave the office without the shots and completely confused as to what "letter" he could possibly want.

My wife, who entered on a K1 in April 2017, married in June, went to a civil surgeon today to get her vaccinations for the 693.  He balked at filling out the form without "a letter" saying she needed only the vaccinations but not the full physical.  I told him we didn't have any such letter, but that she couldn't have gotten her K1 without the physical.  He sent us away and told us to get "a letter".  

Does he really need documentation to fill out the 693 for vaccinations only?  The USCIS website is very clear that if the exam for the visa had been done within a year, the physical is not necessary.  But the website does not say how to document that.  Apparently this CS expects this documentation?

Does anybody know how I can satisfy this doctor?  Is there such documentation I can provide?

I've read that. Thanks, Big Baby, for taking the time to look it up.

As I've stated previously, that explains the documents which must be brought during document intake. My question is about whether documents must be sent to the embassy before that, and before an interview can be scheduled.

Thanks again for your help.

If you're being sarcastic, there are better ways to keep people on your side. Several good members have already tried to help you.

I asked a question to which nobody knew the answer (surprising to me) and was told to essentially "read the FAQ". Ok, I get that. But in this case the FAQ (er, guide) doesn't contain the answer to my question - a small fact nobody on the "read the FAQ" side has admitted. I was very specific about detailing my question and that the guide didn't contain that answer.

Like it said, it's ok. I'll let this site know, and will answer the question in the future if others have it. It's an important question.

Thanks, big baby. Now, answer me this: what documents will she need to send to the embassy after she receives her first packet?

You don't know. Neither do I. That's why I asked.

I'll let this site know the answer to this question when I figure it out. Nobody else knows. You're all welcome.

Thanks. I read the guides, as I stated already. Twice now. Thanks for your help.

Specifically I am hoping to expedite any response my fiancee might have to make to her embassy. This may include preparing forms in advance, if those forms are requested by her embassy to be mailed to them prior to setting an interview date.

Based on my research, many forms are to be brought along for the interview, to be handed in the day before, during "document intake". So whatever might need to be mailed, must be different from those. It's unclear to me, even after reading the guides and many forum messages, what might need to be mailed. My fiancee and I would like to prepare those things even before she receives her first mailing from the consulate, so that she can mail them in immediately after she receives it.

Surely somebody must know...

Filing for a K1 for my fiancee, who lives in china. We got the NOA2 last friday.

I haven't been able to get a clear idea of what's next. I know she must wait until she gets something in the mail - this will come from the embassy in Guangzhou. After she gets that thing, what happens? Can she immediately schedule the interview, or must she mail something back to them, and wait for them to respond again?

Got approval email just now too.
