Best to wait for the RFE letter (no one can really tell you what they may want).

What kind of visa are you adjusting from?

If it's a K-visa and you had a physical exam in your country before receiving the visa, you may get by without a medical form. But if you are on a work, student, or tourist visa, then the RFE is probably about your medical. But nobody can say for sure until you receive the letter from them.

Most likely then it is the medical exam as that is REQUIRED initial evidence to be submitted with the I-485 when adjusting from a non-immigrant visa (or VWP) other than a "K".
