Check cashed yesterday, cases still not trackable on USCIS website...

[NatPatBen 3]

My case was touched today. It says that yesterday, they issued an RFE.

Can't say I didn't see this coming.

Time to find that thread about a good CS in Houston...

Cereza, there's a new form you can attach to the front of your paperwork, to sign up for email and/or text alerts.

Received all 3 of my NOA's today! Probably would've got it earlier if it wasn't for the holidays... but got it nonetheless!

Firdaus & snowbunnies, do either of you plan to walk-in early for the biometrics? We did that, but I'm not sure if it has any effect on the timing. I figured it def can't slow things down to do it early.

Got Biometrics and RFE in the mail today. Biometrics on 1/11/10 and RFE for I-693 just like everyone else. This process is the dumbest thing I have ever seen. Why require the medical and sealed results just to request the same information later? FRUSTRATING....aarrrggghhh.

Can I get the I-693 done while my hubby is away, or does he have to be present for the transcription?

Exactly, especially since the I-693 instructions explicitly state:

If the vaccination record (DS 3025) was not properly completed and included as part of the original, overseas medical examination report, you will have to have the vaccination report completed by a designated civil surgeon.

But I imagine if the DS 3025 wasn't properly completed, it wouldn't have been accepted somewhere else along the line (Embassy or POE). So it was accepted before, but all of a sudden, it's not complete?

An explanation is that the vaccination requirements have changed since then, or perhaps for some of the shots that require a series, they want us to get the next shot in the series.

Hey guys you got me all thinking... about the RFE on the I-693.... what we did was take our vaccination records, along with her proof of vaccination for H1N1 and TB test (those two were done here after she arrived)...to a CS here in the US, the documents we had from the CS in Venezuela when she had her medical, and they transcribed the information into a new form and put it in a sealed envelope which we submitted along with our application, were we supposed to do anything else???

BEST OF LUCKS!!

Also, our package arrived there today .... hopefully next week we'll hear something... Me being extremely optimist....

Regards.....
