693 deficiency notice after K1

[Jsesma13 0]

Someone here received a 693 medical deficiency notice after applying for AOS under a K1 visa? Im so confused because I know I didn't have to submit any medical stuff but I already sent the form DS3025 (vaccinations) complete with my AOS package.

 

Any suggestions? 

Thanks in advance!

Does the notice say to submit an I-693 now or does it say to bring  an I-693 with you to the AOS interview?

The medical was in February this year and I applied for AOS in June (10th NOA1)

 

The notice say to bring it to the interview

You received a COURTESY letter.

"4. K or V Nonimmigrants Applying for Adjustment [26]

K and V nonimmigrants applying for adjustment of status are not required to repeat the medical examination if the application was filed within one year of the date of the original medical examination, and:

The medical examination did not reveal a Class A medical condition; or

The applicant received a conditional waiver in conjunction with the K or V nonimmigrant visa or the change of status to V and the applicant submits evidence of compliance with the waiver terms and conditions. [27]

If a new medical examination is required and reveals a Class A medical condition, a new waiver application will also be required. In such cases, the officer should determine whether the applicant complied with the terms and conditions of the first waiver, if applicable. Such determination should be given considerable weight in the adjudication of a subsequent waiver application. [28]

Even if a new medical examination is not required, applicants must still comply with the vaccination requirements if the vaccination record was not included as part of the original medical examination report. If the vaccination report was properly completed at the time of the overseas examination, the officer may accept the vaccination assessment completed by the panel physician.

An applicant’s overseas medical examination report completed by a panel physician should already be in the applicant’s A-file. If it is not in the A-file, the officer should request the medical examination report through a Request for Evidence (RFE).

If the applicant was granted a change of status to V in the United States, [29] the medical examination report completed by the civil surgeon should be in the A-file created at the time that the change of status was initially granted."

*******************************************************
If you complied with the above and filed AOS within one year of your overseas medical exam date, the I693 and its procedures/policies do not apply to you as a K1 applicant. It does not matter when your AOS interview happens, as long as you filed AOS within one year of the overseas medical exam date (and you meet the above conditions), your medical will never expire.
Submit a photocopy of your personal copy of the DS3025 Vaccination Record with I485 and bring your personal copy to the AOS interview as back up.
Your actual overseas medical exam documents were collected at your POE as they were IN your sealed K1 Visa packet and will be sent from CBP to DHS for storage in your A-file.
Your interviewing officer will collect your A-file for review at your AOS interview or shortly after and confirm that your previously submitted K1 medical exam and vaccinations meet the requirements.

So the two big questions are:

1. Is your DS3025 marked complete? Check the bottom left corner for the checkbox that says "K1 Visa applicant voluntarily completed vaccination requirements"

2. Will USCIS receive and issue you a receipt number within one year of your overseas medical date to have complied with the one year submission requirement?

If yes, you have completed the medical requirements to adjust status.

The answer to the two big questions are yes, that why I don't understand why they sent me the deficiency notice... 

 

Should I contact USCIS to clarify this?

 

Thanks!

No as stated, it is a courtesy notice. Just like all of the credit card applications and flyers you get in the mail. 

You may ignore it if you complied.

Hm, mine is marked as "Immigrant visa or parolee applicant completed vaccination requirements" although I'm a K1 visa holder. I got no RFEs and my AOS interview is scheduled for the end of September. Should I be concerned?

Nah.

Your Panel Physician is an idiot so if that concerns you then be concerned but don't be concerned for yourself.
