Hi,

I am really sorry for posting three times, but i wanted to write exactlt what my RFE says. Re-reading it, I am wondering if i need to just send in the chest x-ray, and wanted to know if the POE officer shoudl have taken it or not?

My RFE says

"I693" MEDICAL EXAM

Please submit a properly completed nad singed form I693, Medical exam etc.

Current regulations now require that the TB skin test be completed by all applicants 2 yrs or older. A Chest x ray is required only when the reaction to the skin test is 5mm or more. Or you may provide other evidence to establish that you have had follow up treatment for TB and that the condition no longer exists. A reciew of the record indicates you entered on a valid K1, however THE RECORD CANNOT BE FOUND IN YOUR APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR AOS PACKAGE. Therefore, you are requested to submit the aforementioned I693 Medical exam of aliens seeking AOS, completed by a USCIS approved physician.

I am utterly confused as I have never ever had TB, and I have even had the vaccine.

What exactly is this asking for? Is it the whole medical or just the chest x-ray? Has anyone had an RFE like this before?

Thanks for your help

Lily

NO, they want the I-693 or its equivalent... They lost or misplaced your foreign medical exam. Happened to us and several others.

Actual x-ray not required.

Thanks.

Why do they specify what they need when they just need the entire package? Its very perplexing.

Can I ask did you just re-do the whole exam or get the original sent from home?

Also did you need the vaccinations re-done completely or does my vacc supplement still stand?

Thanks

The chest x-ray results are incorporated into the exam. That is why the film is not needed.

We re-did all because we did not want any further delay.

Vaccinations never have to be re-done if you have your records. The CS will record what you ahve had done previously and update any if needed.

YMMV
