It's here: http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dq/pdf/ti-03/appdx-a_693vacc.pdf but a civil surgeon has to transfer the information to it and sign it. Most will give it to you in a sealed envelope.

You're right, a full medical is NOT required though some civil surgeons will try and tell you otherwise. Do you have your vaccination worksheet from your medical in Canada? When you do find a civil surgeon who will fill out the I-693A for you, bring the worksheet from the Canadian medical along with any other proof of your vaccinations to the surgeon.

His forms have to be mailed by the 1st. Eek...I'm freaking out now. What is the civil surgeon going to transfer the information from? All of Thomas's info was mailed to our local office. Do we have to get his results from there? If we do not have the worksheet you are talking about, where do we get it from? Is there a fee for this other medical exam if he is forced to get one?

I've found the I-693 forms that are to be filled out by a doctor for the Adjustment of Status medical exam, but since my husband entered on a K-1 visa, and had his medical done in November of last year as part of that procedure, he does not have to have ANOTHER medical exam. Am I correct?

On the VJ Step by step guide to filing, it says that I am to submit a I-693A, vaccination suppliment, not the entire medical report.

How do I get that? I'm confused.

Thanks for the help guys and gals

Oh ok! He got that. Awesome.

Thanks guys

I was reading that my fiance has to have this to apply for his Social Security Number. What is it? From what I read, it is an arrival/departure record that is given when you cross the border into the US? I asked my fiance if he was given one of those, and he said no.

I'm confused.

Right on cuci!

misa: Thank you SO much for being so kind.

Congratulations!!! What a fabulous feeling that must be. God bless you both!!!

Indeed! Thank you, and God bless!

Thomas got his visa in the mail today. He will be leaving Montreal tomorrow morning.

I just hope all goes well at the border.

Maybe Montreal was just slow in issuing it and it will come tomorrow. I will keep my fingers crossed for you.

Thank you misa.

Do you have a tracking number or something on your xpresspost envelope you provided?

It did, but...my fiance didn't write it down *sigh*

Contact Mtl by phone or email on Monday and see if it has been mailed out, or if it is going through further checks

Yes, we are going to call tomorrow.

Another thing I noticed, the topic is in the IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa General Discussion forum.

This is seperate from K-1 visas correct? Maybe that is why there are more security checks?

The people in this situation were already married.

My fiance had his visa interview last Tuesday. (6th of March) The officer told him he would get his visa within a week. Friday came, and still no visa. That's ok, the guy said a week. So, I'm reading the thread about the additional security checks and people having to wait 3 or 4 extra weeks before their visa is issued.

Here's our problem. Thomas has had his stuff in storage since Nov. 2005. He went yesterday, and emptied out the locker, and packed everything in a 10ft Uhaul truck. The truck has to be returned by next Saturday.

We're very worried, that Montreal will not get his visa to him in time.

Reading these threads has really put a strain on me.

What do you guys think?

No visa today. I'm bummed.

Good luck! We are praying for you

My husband was turned away once BEFORE the visa was issued. He had no problems crossing after he got the K-1 visa

This seems to be pretty common from what I've read. We were told 3 different times that Thomas could come for a period of 6 months to begin our visa application. THEN someone told us that once the K-1 processing had begun, we werent even allowed to see eachother until it was done! (No visits or anything)

They even told Thomas at the border that if he tried to cross again without his K-1 that he would be banned from the US for 10 years.

It was a very scary time.

Yeah that's probably what it was. You would think, since I've been in this process for a year and a half, that I would know a lot about it, but there is still a lot I need to learn.

Thanks Cap'n! I'm new to this place so, I've yet to find out where everything is

Right on! This is giving me peace of mind right now. My fiance's interview was yesterday (Tuesday)

So he should get it maybe Thursday or Friday?

I read in another thread, that it was taking 2-3 weeks!

They were turned back after their visa was issued because of lack of ties?

What happens at the border crossing into the US? My fiance was turned away in November 2005, before the processing of our visa began, because of a mis-undestanding of ours. They said he did not have enough ties to Canada, and to come back when his visa was issued.

Do you think he will have a hard time crossing?

My fiance said that the officer yesterday told him that it could take up to a week to recieve his visa in the mail. However, he gave them a 2 day express post envelope. Maybe he will get it sooner? I'm still on cloud 9 right now!

I posted this in another forum, but decided it was better that it went here.

Congrats! The Lord is always with us!

Congrats!

I would go with what ELW said and resend your documents by a traceable method of delivery. Good luck
