GC received yesterday. Thanks again!

Approval e-mail received today. Thanks everyone for all your help. Couldn't have done it (nearly as easily) without you.

I know I'm a bit late to the party but you guys can go ahead and add us! Just had biometrics done.

When my wife entered the US on a K-1 in Minneapolis they did not ask her for anything but her Visa as far as documentation. They did not ask to see the sealed brown envelope. I assume this envelope contains the I-693? Am I correct in thinking this envelope and the I-693A should be submitted with the I-485. Is this normal that they do not take this? The I-485 seems to indicate we should not be submitting an I-693 with the application, only an I-693A.

Thanks for your help.

Umm, the I-693A is not a part of the K-1 process. The form used in the K-1 is the DS3032 if I remember the number correctly. Both forms include the same information, but the I-693A is in Portrait format and filled out by USCIS approved doctors in the US, while the DS-3032 is in landscape format and filled out by embassy approved doctors in your/your fiance(e)'s home country.

You will need a USCIS approved civil surgeon to fill out the I-693A, a list of them is on the USCIS site, at:

https://egov.uscis.gov/crisgwi/go?action=of...office_type=CIV

You are however right that the brown envelope and all information therein should have been taken at Point of Entry (POA) by the Inspector.

And yes it is only the I-693A that is to be submitted for AOS, if less than a year has passed between the medical appointment for K-1 in immigrants own country and filing for AOS.

I-693A can be found at:

Thanks for your help. Sorry for not being clear but we have already gotten a civel surgeon to fill out the I-693A vaccination supplement. I am basically looking for confirmation that the sealed brown envelope contains the full medical and needs to be subbmited along with the I-693A when applying for AOS. Or would it be wise to redo the full medical? There isn't anything else this envelope would be, right? The front states- "To be opened only by United States immigration or public health service officer. This is your visa - It must be surrendered to the port of entry into the united states - do not pack it - it must be carried."

Thanks again.
