I-693 - Medical Exam and Vaccinations when applying for Green Card (I-485)
Recently I had my medical examinations required by USCIS when applying for I-485.
Here is the detailed blog post where I talk about the general process, my personal experience and some general suggestions about this medical exams.
If you have different experience please share here so others in the same boat can prevent some of the hassel you have been through.
Oh, and if you like my post and want to say thank you :o leave Comment on my blog instead of this thread. We can keep this thread just to share personal experience and questions about the medical exams.
Updates(02/10/2012): Cases of RFE I came across regarding vaccinations:
1: Varicella Related
2: Flu shot was not taken / reported. So make sure you take flu-shot even if your CS doesn't mention or a record that says why you can't take flu shot.
Hope this helps.

PPD positive is very common in Asians. Do not worry too much. As long as chest X Ray is negative, no worries. X ray report MUST be included within sealed 693 form by civil surgeon. Enjoy and help on HR 3012 by signing petition and spread the word.
