Just received AOS approval but have pending medical RFE?

Hello!

 

My husband arrived in the US in July 2021 on a K1 visa. We got married within 90 days and submitted his AOS in October '21. He got his EAD in April '22 and his advanced parole in October '22. We received an RFE for the medical check in October '22 and just completed it. We were planning to mail it this week but I received a notification today (November 8, '22) in his USCIS account that his i-485 is now approved. We are happy to still mail the i-693 but are not sure if it is still necessary. His case is being processed at the Washington DC field office. Has anyone come across this? Appreciate anyone's insight and happy to provide more information. 

 

Edit: His online account never showed that an RFE was sent but we did receive it by mail.

I would send it with a cover letter explaining why you sent it (refer to RFE, attach its copy). Use certified mail and keep proof of sending the response.

The last thing you want is for them to rule later in immigration journey the Green Card was issued in error.

I figured that would be the case. Thank you @OldUser

Did you received an RFE or a courtesy (junk mailer) letter?

@K1visaHopeful Definitely an RFE. It says Request for Evidence at the top, has his case number and is directly address to him in the letter itself, and gives a specific deadline for sending in the medical exam (Dec 22, 2022). The envelope it came in was handwritten which I hadn't seen before.
