RFE Help

We just received our RFE this afternoon for our AOS application. It says:

"A review of the records indicates that you entered the United States pursuant to a valid K-1/K-2 nonimmigrant visa. All USCIS records relating to you have been reviewed. The U.S. Department of State Medical forms DS-2053, DS-3024, DS-3025 and DS-3026 are not in any of those records.

Form I-693 Please submit a properly completed and signed form I-693, Report of Medical Excamination and Vaccination Record. The medical examination must be conducted by a physician who is on the list of Civil Surgeons approved by USCIS. It is no necessary to submit evidence of a vaccination history, as there is a record of the vaccinations in the file. (Yes, it's spelled wrong in the message- "it's no necessary").

K1 Marriage Certificate: You appear to be filing as a K1 nonimmigrant. Please submit a copy of your marriage certificate indicating that you have married your United States citizen fiancee within 90 days of your admission into the United States as a K1 nonimmigrant."

I am SO confused. It says they have no record of our DS3025, but then it says in bold that there is a record of our vaccinations. How is that even possible? We sent in the DS3025 and not the transcribed I693, so the DS3025 is all they *could* have. What is it that they want from us, then? Are we one of the unlucky ones whose entire medical exam has been lost? I'm worried that's the case. Does this mean we should leave Part 2 of the I693 blank or should we have it all filled out? I don't understand how they could even need a second medical when we wouldn't have been able to even get to the interview stage without it in London- so we obviously had it.

The marriage certificate part is easy enough, but we already submitted one with our original application! Grr...

Thanks in advance for the advice!

"A review of the records indicates that you entered the United States pursuant to a valid K-1/K-2 nonimmigrant visa. All USCIS records relating to you have been reviewed. The U.S. Department of State Medical forms DS-2053, DS-3024, DS-3025 and DS-3026 are not in any of those records.

This part sounds like a stock phrase for "the medical info in your brown envelope didn't make it to us." ie LOST. Those are the 4 forms in the UK medical.

Form I-693 Please submit a properly completed and signed form I-693, Report of Medical Excamination and Vaccination Record. The medical examination must be conducted by a physician who is on the list of Civil Surgeons approved by USCIS.

And this is saying to do your whole medical over.

It is no necessary to submit evidence of a vaccination history, as there is a record of the vaccinations in the file.

And this is adding that they do have the vaccination record already (because you sent that in.)

K1 Marriage Certificate: You appear to be filing as a K1 nonimmigrant. Please submit a copy of your marriage certificate indicating that you have married your United States citizen fiancee within 90 days of your admission into the United States as a K1 nonimmigrant."

And either you didn't send a copy of your marriage certificate, or they just didn't look carefully in the file and think it's not there.

So it looks like to solve this you will have to do the whole medical over again. The CS wouldn't charge any more to add your immunizations so you might as well have it all put in one record.

And make another copy of the marriage certificate.

Thanks, that's how I deciphered it too. Here goes another $400!
