  • Submitting Medical Exam with I-485

    Hi everyone, it is still flu season and I would prefer not to get the mandatory flu shot that is required for the medical exam until March 15th. Will it slow down my married based green card green card application if I submit the medical exam form (i-693) later in the process and not initially when submitting the i-485? For example, I could submit it two weeks later but I need to send the other forms now as my current visa will expire soon. Thanks.

    I don't have an answer to your question but I can share my experience with the medical exam. I had my medical exam appointment one week ago I was also concerned about the flue shot because I haven't received it and didn't want to have an extra expense. Luckily the DR. didn't mention it and neither did I. I received my envelope with in 3 days. I guess it all depends on the doctor.

      When I asked a question about i-693 online, a few lawyers said that you can bring the medical exam record to the interview, or submit it later. But I would rather submit everything altogether - you wouldn't like to get an RFE, which delays the process... I'd rather have one time flu shot (which I did) and get a GC sooner.

        Any attorney who says the medical exam envelope can be brought to the interview probably hasn't submitted enough I-485 packages to find out the hard way that RFE's are sent by USCIS for a lack of a submitted I-693 package.

        After amassing student loan debt of thousands of dollars to pass the bar exam, I wonder why so many "immigration" attorneys seem to be clueless about simple clerical requirements stipulated by USCIS.
