AOS
I’m feeling really confused about whether my wife needs to provide her vaccination records for her Adjustment of Status application as there is alot of varying information online. Her medical exam was completed on October 13 2025, and she entered the United States on December 29, 2025. The forms from her medical exam were included in the packet given to Customs and Border Protection when she entered, and we haven’t gotten that packet back. Because of this, we’re unsure whether we need to submit a new Form I-693 or vaccination records, or if we don’t need to submit anything at all for her Adjustment of Status, since the exam is less than a year old. I just want to make sure we handle this correctly and don’t risk delaying her. If anyone else is going through something similar or have gone through this, what did you do? Is it required? Thank you for reading:)

@Franco T Has she received a sealed medical envelope from the civil surgeon that completed her medical exam?

hello it’s my understanding that the 693 form is only required if filing aos in the country The overseas medical exam is valid for 1 year I believe and the vaccination record (DS-3025) is already included in that exam the sealed medical packet is meant to stay with CBP/USCIS and is not returned to the applicant
if they required anything or do so I believe that you will get a rfe if they required anything further from you once you submitted the forms correctly you should be ok

@Franco T when I did my aos I didn’t submit it because they had stop ask for the vaccination card but once she done a medical i693 it’s that seal packet that she had over to cbp so that’s all her medical records inside and you wouldn’t receive it back but if they neee anything else from you they will send a rfe and state what they need..so don’t think she’s been delayed she’s fine good luck
