RFE's :(

[sunflower3 0]

hi all

I got RFE's for 3 pieces of evidence! It's really easy... the other two i think they messed up. I am a K-1 visa holder from Canada and had my medical completed for the K-1 process. The documents from the medical I surrendered at my point of entry. I got two RFE's, which seem contradictory to me... see below:

RFE #1

1) .... you need to submit a properly completed and signed Form I-639, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record, (Rev. 04/02/08 or later) for the applicant on Form I-485. The medical examination must be conducted by a civil surgeon who has been deignated by USCIS. The medical must be issued less than one year prior to the filing date of Form I-485.

RFE #2

2) You have submitted Form I-693, Medical Examination of Alien Seeking Adjustment of Status. However, you failed submit proper documentation of immunization for the Form I-485 applicant.

I am very confused because #1 says that I dind't submit I-639 and then #2 says I did. Also, can someone tell me am I supposed to have documentatuon of immunization or would I have given that at POE as well? Also what does it look like?

Another question, I decided not to apply for approval to travel because I thought this woud be done relatively soon but now that I have these RFE's I'm thinking I should file that form. Is that for a one time leave/re enter or for multiple?

Thanks so much VJ members! This forum has been so valuable!

AP (Advance Parole) is good for multiple entries and is valid for one year. It usually takes anywhere from 60 to 90 days to get approved.

After you return your RFE documents (for the AOS), you could get approved shortly after they receive them. I got an RFE during the K-1 process, and was approved very quickly after they received the requested documents.

Hi! It's hard to tell from your timeline when you had it done... (Please fill in your timeline.) When did you have your medical? If you had it completed more than a year ago, it's expired.

Two... did you submit an I-693 with your vaccines transcribed?

I had my medical in January 2008 so it's not expired. As for transcribing the vaccination ... isn't this already with all my medical forms that I surrendered at POE??

Theoretically it was on your DS-3025. Do you have a copy of that? The requirements changed recently for the I-693... Here's a link to the pinned topic. Check out the stuff at the beginning and at the end.

It looks like some people have been submitting just their DS-3025 and not getting RFEs for it and others are (like you).

So... take your DS-3025 to a CS and arm yourself with print outs of all the info below to show the CS (read the end of the pinned topic linked above to see why).

Here are some more links for you...

The I-693 forms were revised on 06/05/08. New info. Directions to the new I-693 link below.

Here's the form itself.

Here's a link that explains the vaccination and TST requirements in regards to when you had your test done..
