RFE!!!

[MikesAibeen 0]

Hello all,

A friend of mine received an RFE notice. She came here on a K1 visa from the Philippines. With her adjustment of status application, she submitted her vaccination document from St. Lukes and a sealed envelope from a designated civil surgeon. Still she received an RFE and she doesn't know what to do. She's afraid not being able to send the EXACT thing they want or else her application might be denied. Please help! The RFE says:

Request for Initial Evidence (I-485)

This office is unable to complete the processing of your Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjustment of Status (Form I-485) without initial information.

x The form I-693 you submitted is incomplete. Page3, part 2, Section 5 is blank or missing. You failed to submit proper documentation of immunization for the Form I-485 applicant

You need to submit a properly completed Form I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record, ( Rev. 06/05/08 or later). The vaccination record must be completed by a civil surgeon who has designated by USCIS

The Vaccination Record ( documentation of immunization) is documented of

. Page 5, Part 5 of form I-693

You may need to provide your zipcode. Have a pen or pencil ready to write down the list of civil surgeon in your area.

The civil surgeon must conduct the exam as directed in the instruction to Form I-693 and in the Centers for Disease Control's Technical Instructions for Medical Examination Of Aliens in the United States. Both the medical examination and vaccination record must be completed when required.

*Do not submit chest x-ray films with your medical exam*.

Thanks!

From what I can tell she needs to contact the civil surgeon to see why Page3, part 2, Section 5 was not filled out and get the civil surgeon to send a properly completed I-693 right away.

She is thinking about going to a different civil surgeon. Does she need to submit a full I-693 or just the vaccination part? It does say on the RFE that she needs to submit a completed I-693. She had a full medical exam at St. Luke's last July 2009 so she does not need a full medical exam. Can she just put a note to cover the medical examination part and have a civil surgeon fill-out the vaccination part and sign it?

Page1, Part 1;

Is the 'about' section - she would get an RFE for this because the CS apparently didn't even complete the information about whose form it is!

Page3, Part 2, item 5;

is the vaccination history - so this wasn't transcribed by the CS.

Page 5, Part 5 of form I-693

Is the CS's signature!

I wouldn't go to a new CS, I'd go back to the original CS, that she presumably paid to complete the I-693 and demand that they provide her with an accurate, completed I-693 for free. I would also insist on seeing the completed form before it gets sealed, and explaining that because of their mess, she HAS to make sure it is completed correctly or risk being denied. Cross check the vaccination history from St. Luke's with what the CS has transcribed, that they've put her details and signed it.

She shouldn't need a new medical, as her St. Luke's one is less than 1 year old.

Which Civil surgeon did she go to? the USCIS.gov website indicates we too got an RFE though I haven't gotten it yet so I don't know what it's for. This process is so annoying and stressful!

I agree with SunDrop. Contact your CS who gave you a sealed I-693 and tell them about the problem. I was given a copy of the I-693 by my CS and was asked to verify if my A# is correct before I signed page 1 of the I-693. She doesn't need a full medical exam.
