Your sealed medical should be submitted with your AOS or you will get an RFE for it in a few weeks/months time.... it will slow down your processing time....

Better to get it done before you file if you can......

I too thought that it was not required until interview time. You ARE now required to submit the medical along with the I-485 package. I got an RFE for the medical. I had it last week on 21st Feb, just waiting for titers to come back on the MMR status. Total cost for me was $250 which seemed about average for around here after calling around several places.

Good luck

It says right in the I-485 instructions to file your medical with the form (unless you are a k or refugee, etc). See page 3 of the instructions. Where is the confusion?

Call around sine prices in NYC vary a lot. I got mine recently for $150, and some places were asking for up to $300...
