Medical exam validity issue

[JessDak 27]

I received a letter today from USCIS about my green-card application. It states that "As of June 1, 2014 USCIS had limited the validity period for all Forms I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record, to one year from the date of submission to USCIS. Based on these new regulations, your I-693 Medical Examination has expired"

If I remember correctly an I-693 was not required for me because I entered on K1 and had my medical done prior to entering the country. This was form DS-3025 I believe. And this was completed way less than 1 year ago.

Please tell me if this is an error on USCISs part of i I was supposed to still complete a form I-693 (this form does not look familiar so if it was something I would have had to fill, I doubt I filled it at all)



Also, less urgent but still an issue. I updated my address weeks ago and received confirmation of this (for all 3 cases including this one) but this letter was sent to my old address and had to be forwarded to me. Is there anything I can do about that?

It is a general letter for AOS applicants. No, you were not required to get an I-693 if your medical was done within a year of filing for AOS.

When adjusting from a K-1, you should not have to get another medical if your K-1 medical was done within a year of filing for AOS. However, some immigration officers do not seem to know the policies regarding AOS from a K-1. Some are asked for a new medical, and some are correctly not asked. Hopefully you will never receive an actual RFE for a new medical. See the policy > http://www.visajourn...view/?p=7703568

I would contact the USCIS to make sure your current address is in the system. Let them know when you changed your address and that you received a notice from the USCIS at the old address. I suspect it may have been mailed prior to the address change showing up in the system. Having to forward mail can sometimes take a while.
