i-693 notice of deficiency

[mymoua 0]

Hi! So we sent i-485 documents in in March. About two weeks ago we had his biometrics done. Today, we received a letter saying he has a notice of deficiency for i-693. The reason is because we don't have a completed and signed i-693 was not submitted. I am very confuse on this as a K1 visa you had to get a medical check through a special doctor which was sent to immigration. He handed the sealed document to customs when he arrived in US at the end of January. I sent a copy of his vaccinations as was given from the hospital along with our i-485. I've been reading and it says don't get worried as this is just a reminder letter. However, how can i not worry when it also states if you don't have the document i-693 your i-485 can get denied. My question is what do I do? I tried calling uscis today, but they were already closed. I am unsure how much they can help me. Wondering if anyone has been through the same situation as me.

At the AOS interview cite their own policy manual: https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-8-part-b-chapter-3

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).

Was the influenza shot box filled-out correctly?
