Read the policy for K1s. Those who went to a Civil surgeon either did not complete their vaccines, did not file AOS within one year or did not read the policy.

 

I myself have posted this comment several times so this topic is very searchable on VJ.

 

https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-8-part-b-chapter-3

"4. K or V Nonimmigrants Applying for Adjustment [26]

K and V nonimmigrants applying for adjustment of status are not required to repeat the medical examination if the application was filed within one year of the date of the original medical examination, and:

The medical examination did not reveal a Class A medical condition; or

The applicant received a conditional waiver in conjunction with the K or V nonimmigrant visa or the change of status to V and the applicant submits evidence of compliance with the waiver terms and conditions. [27]

If a new medical examination is required and reveals a Class A medical condition, a new waiver application will also be required. In such cases, the officer should determine whether the applicant complied with the terms and conditions of the first waiver, if applicable. Such determination should be given considerable weight in the adjudication of a subsequent waiver application. [28]

Even if a new medical examination is not required, applicants must still comply with the vaccination requirements if the vaccination record was not included as part of the original medical examination report. If the vaccination report was properly completed at the time of the overseas examination, the officer may accept the vaccination assessment completed by the panel physician.

An applicant’s overseas medical examination report completed by a panel physician should already be in the applicant’s A-file. If it is not in the A-file, the officer should request the medical examination report through a Request for Evidence (RFE).

If the applicant was granted a change of status to V in the United States, [29] the medical examination report completed by the civil surgeon should be in the A-file created at the time that the change of status was initially granted."

If you complied with the above and filed AOS within one year of your overseas medical exam date, the I693 and its procedures/policies do not apply to you as a K1 applicant. It does not matter when your AOS interview happens, as long as you filed AOS within one year of the medical exam date (and you meet the above conditions), your medical will never expire.
Submit a photocopy of your personal copy of the DS3025 Vaccination Record with I485 and bring your personal copy to the AOS interview as back up.
Your actual overseas medical exam documents were collected at your POE as they were IN your sealed K1 Visa packet and will be sent from CBP to DHS for storage in your A-file.
Your interviewing officer will collect your A-file for review at your AOS interview or shortly after and confirm that your previously submitted K1 medical exam and vaccinations meet the requirements.

So the two big questions are:

1. Is your DS3025 marked complete? Check the bottom left corner for the checkbox that says "K1 Visa applicant voluntarily completed vaccination requirements"

2. Will USCIS receive and issue you a receipt number within one year of your overseas medical date to have complied with the one year submission requirement?

If yes, you have completed the medical requirements to adjust status.



 

So, what if "Immigrant Visa or Parolee applicant completed vaccination requirements" was selected on the DS3025? Would that be sufficient?

So I am reading here that people are going to Civil Surgeons and getting I-693 filled out by them? But then some other people saying this is not necessary if your medical was done within a year and the DS 3025 should suffice. I am so confused on what to do.

 

Any insight??

I had the same questions a few months ago. I have attached the instructions for form i693.. Start reading at the bottom of page 7, and you'll find your answer. A screenshot is also attached.

Did you review this thread?  It may be helpful.

 

 

Thank you

I've been searching for a doctor who's able to transcribe my immunization records from my medical to Form 1-693 (adjustment of status document), but I haven't been able to find any. Has anyone found a doctor in NY who's able to be this?? 

I submitted copies at my interview, and they were not given back to me. You should be fine with submitting copies.

Hello,

In my point of view, it is a matter of the privacy that governs the medical acts. They may have found something they need to make be aware of. They have to do it IN PERSON.. Go and get it.  Don't be alarmist

Thank you

If you are below the poverty level for your family then you must give the co-sponsor a chance. If you don't then you will be denied based on not meeting the financial requirements. So no it doesn't lessen but if needed it will help.

Thank you.

Help !! So, I'm a bit concerned. I got a call a few minutes ago from the hospital I did my medical at. They stated that my medical will not be sent in time for the interview and that I need to come in to review the medical with the doctor. I asked if something is wrong and they said nothing detrimental. I'm not sure if I should be worried or not.. I'm thinking of changing the interview date. What could possibly be wrong? Thoughts??

My K1-visa interview is a few days away. Does having a co-sponsor lessen my chances of being approved at the embassy in Jamaica? Please advise. I'd love to hear about your experiences.

Anyone out there had their interview recently at the embassy in Kingston and want to share some tips? My interview is coming up soon. Thanks!

when your case first showed READY you should have filled and submitted your DS160, paid the interview fee and scheduled your medical and interview.  You WILL NOT receive instruction from the embassy!!!!

Wish I had figured that out sooner. I made my appointment last week.

According to the U.S Department of State's website, my case was received by my local embassy. The last update was made on the 21st of November. The status on the website shows "Ready". Approximately how long should it take for me to receive my package from the embassy?

Many of our answers are predicated on the information you supply in your profile. When we look at the left column and can't determine your timeline or your Embassy it's hard for us to give you a factual answer. If you look at the profile of others here, they have a flag for their country, so it makes it easy for us to reply as we can quickly determine your Embassy. Our answers will sometimes be tailored to a specific Embassy hence the reason for you to complete your profile.

 

So, if you could help yourself out and complete your profile that sure would help us out when we want to reply to your question with factual information.

 

Go to the top right of this page select your name (it's on the upper right-hand corner)>my profile>[below your picture on the right column] edit my profile. Scroll to the bottom and fill in "Immigration Info". There now we can better serve you.

 

Thanks

There are quite a few others on here transiting that embassy.   You might find it helpful to go to the regional forum and get questions answered and advice as each embassy has its quirks 

Got it, thank you.

What embassy?

In Jamaica

Exactly what that means 

Thank you. I've been checking the mail for a few weeks and have not gotten anything.

I checked https://ceac.state.gov/ceacstattracker/status.aspx, and it shows "Ready". Does that mean my local embassy has received my I-129F petition from NVC? I'm a bit concerned.

Thanks for the assistance. The embassy contacted my fiance today via phone call. We thought they were going to send out a letter via mail/email. Thats something to note for future kingson embassy interviewees. 

I have not received a call or anything in the mail. It has been way over a month.
