Received RFE after responding to NOID

[HRQX 4,145]

Does receiving a straightforward RFE months after responding to a NOID mean the NOID's listed concern(s) were properly addressed by me?

 

Some background: On July 26, 2021 I responded to the NOID for I-485 (INA 212(a)(6)(C)(i) listed as reason) with proof that a misrepresentation did not occur. In September I contacted the CIS Ombudsman for case assistance since I hadn't received anything further from USCIS. 3 weeks after contacting the Ombudsman I received a RFE just for a new Civil Surgeon medical exam since my previous one is now expired; nothing else was mentioned in the RFE.

Sure sounds like it to me.  If they needed further documentation or info related to the content of your response, that could have been included as a separate  line item in the same RFE.

 

Fingers crossed!

Just got my x-ray results from Kaiser today and they are clear but since the blood test was positive I was prescribed Rifampin 300 mg for the Latent TB.

 

But looks like the CS should still be able to go ahead and complete the I-693: https://www.cdc.gov/immigrantrefugeehealth/civil-surgeons/tuberculosis.html "The civil surgeon can treat these applicants for LTBI or refer them for treatment elsewhere, but the applicants do not have to complete treatment before they are medically cleared and their I-693 forms are completed, because LTBI is not a Class A condition."

Great news!  Do you have to do a year of the Rifampin?

Seems like a good sign.  I doubt they would bother sending you an RFE for medical if they aren't satisfied that the NOID has been addressed.
