I am a UK lad married to an American citizen. Over in the USA and filing I-485 Adjustment of status and I-130.
This is my first entry. - Medical for I-693
went to get my medical done today for the Form I-693.
I picked a medical doctor (Civil Surgeon) from the UCSIS website.
Link: https://egov.uscis.gov/crisgwi/go?ac...ffice_type=CIV
I Picked Concentra in Charlotte.
Staff were very good and helpful.
The doctor gave me a physical. all ok. Nurses gave me the TB test, Took blood and gave me MMR and a Tetanus.
For a rough guide it cost $258 for all this and the completion of form.
I have to go back Thurs/Fri to get signed off from the TB test and collected completed form.
Filing I-130 and I-485 on Monday. Made an appointment via infopass to file forms at the local UCSIS office. That way we can get them checked and file them at the same time.
We got passport photos from Walgreens. 6 of each of us to be on the safe side. $50. not the cheapest!
I will update Monday on how the filing goes.

pNC,
Please do update us. I recall trying to get my wife's I-485 submitted at our local office a few years back, they refused to take it and insisted that I submit to the Chicago lockbox.
What do you mean by "get them checked"? Surely you aren't expecting that someone at the local office is going to review the submission package for you ...
Regards, JEff

Mmmmmm .... wondering if the old test of instanteous adjustment of status is once again being tried at various district offices. The last time I believe Dallas accepted the submission and within a month those people had adjusted status.
Paul, let us know if you are interviewed the same day as submission.
