RFE second time!!! Hope it's the last one!!

[ViVi and JimJim 0]

RFE sent from CSC really took a week long!!!

Here are the additional information they required:

1) Form G-325a (Huh again??)

2) Medical Exmination (Form I-693) <- Not the I-693A supplementary form??

Note: All medical examinations and vaccinations must be conducted and administered by a physician who is on the list of Civil Surgeons approved by USCIS.

(The below part is the thing I can't understand, does it mean I have to re-do a full set of medical checkup???)

A review if the record indicates that you entered the US pursuant to a valid K-1 nonimmigrant visa. All USCIS records relating to you have been reviewed. The US Department of State medical forms DS-2053, DS-3024, DS-3025 and DS-3026 are NOT in any of those records. (Does that mean they LOST my medical???)

(i) I-693 Medical Examination:

Please submit a properly completed and signed Form I-693, Medical Examination of Aliens Seeking Adjustment of Status. The medical examination must be conducted by a physician who is on the list of Civil Surgeons approved by USCIS.

(ii) Immuniztion Form:

Please submit a properly completed Supplemental Form to I-693, Adjustment of Status Applicant's Documentation of Immunization. The supplemental must be completed and signed by a designated Civil Surgeon.

I have to submit ALL at one time by JUNE 11, 2008!!!

VJ fellows, sorry for taking you long time to read it!! Thanks in advance..any help would be appreciated!!

Yes, it means they lost your medical and of course, the G325a is required with an AOS submission. Do exactly as they say within the time allowed.

[ViVi and JimJim 0]

G-325a is not a problem, I'll fill this again!!

But omg, I need to pay a couple hundreds to do a full-set of medical again?? The one I took in HK was in March 2007, I think it's expired but I submitted the AOS in Dec 2007!!

Do you know if medical insurance can cover? If there is a chance, I'd ask my hubby to call for his insurance.

[*JG* 2]

I doubt health insurance would cover it.

Unfortunately, insurance never covers the I-693

How much does the USCIS want from me??? Sigh....

There's really nothing you can do but go pay for it. Sorry to say. Especially since your last one expired (if it didn't you might have been able to just get a copy of the last one in a sealed envelope).

Hope it doesn't stress you out too much. It should cost about $250-$350 for the new I-693.

Make sure they fill out the new form that was published in April this year!

Well I think this stress out my husband more, a foreign bride costs him that much!!!

Hmmm I am just thinking why they sent this RFE so late? the first RFE about I-864 they sent me in mid-Dec, I really think they are not check the case one time thoroughly~~~

Dang, ViVi and JimJim! The USCIS are certainly not giving you an easy ride! As much as I hate saying it....it looks like you will have to bite the bullet and just pay to have your medical done again. Its crazy that they didn't include all of this in your last RFE....sadly its the way they seem to do things.

Hopefully when you have sent all this back in you will be back on track to a smooth and speedy approved AOS!

Good Luck!

omg they lost your medical.... what in the world are they doing... or not

[ViVi and JimJim 0]

I always tell my hubby that your govt really doesn't like me, why always giving us a hard time???

I just called to the 3 doctors on the civil surgeon list.

1) busy with patient

2) never pick up the call (if emergency pls call 911)

3) i'll try to call them again later (i think they are on lunch break now)

oneder, I really can't believe what is happening to me!!!! How come they can lost such IMPORTANT DOCUMENT???

[ViVi and JimJim 0]

Oh one more question, in my case, is it Dr. L E Arnold can't help me?

I must find one of my local civil surgeon to do the full medical for me?

Or I can still take some required shots (like Td and MMR) at my family doctor or health dept, and then bring the results to the civil surgeon?

Appreciate with any help in advance!! I hope to know this site/forum earlier, the USCIS staff really know nothing, before I filed my AOS, I called them and the lady told me that I don't need to send them old forms(G-325a) which I filed with my K-1 already!! Bullshit!!! Don't trust them!!! Rather trust all VJ members better!!

You can take the vaccines anywhere and bring them to the doctor (although shouldn't you have had them before you came to the US?). You can let them know you've already been vaccinated or take a blood test so that they can verify you're already immunized for those.

When was your overseas medical for the visa?

[ViVi and JimJim 0]

My overseas medical was in March 2007 and I got my K-1 visa in April 2007.

We get married in Nov 2007 and filed our AOS in Dec 2007.
