I-693 Courtesy Letter Request

[BOKURAGAITA 101]

Good day VJ!

 

I posted an issue about receiving an email and NO mail about I-693 Courtesy Request. I'm so confused and so i called the USCIS about it and told me that i will only send a respond if i got a letter from the mail. I don't know what's going on all i know is that my medical was done overseas 12-22-21 and filed my AOS 03-18-22. 

This is what the email:

Courtesy Letter Request

 

An initial review of the evidence submitted for your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, determined that the evidence submitted was deficient for the following reasons.

 

• A completed and signed I-693 was not submitted

 

If you already submitted a I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record or if you are a K-1 VISA holder, please disregard this notice, no further action is needed.

 

What You Need to Do

 

Submit a completed Form I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record. A USCIS civil surgeon must complete and sign the form, and you must also sign the form. If the civil surgeon refers you to a specialist, the specialist must include his or her medical exam results and complete the proper sections of the Form I-693 before the civil surgeon may sign the form. Once everyone has signed, the civil surgeon will place the completed Form I-693 in a sealed envelope and give it to you. You must submit the sealed envelope containing the original Form I-693 that the civil surgeon signed and the medical exam results; we will NOT accept photocopied Form I-693 and medical exam results.

 

Civil surgeons must use the current Edition of Form I-693. You can find the current edition of Form I-693 on USCIS’ website at www.uscis.gov. In addition, the civil surgeon must ensure that all parts of Form I-693 were properly completed.

 

Please Note: All Forms I-693 signed by civil surgeons on or after October 5, 2022, must use the 07/19/2022 edition of Form I-693. USCIS will not accept the 09/13/2021 version (or any previous editions) if the civil surgeon signed the Form I-693 after October 4, 2022. Therefore, the civil surgeon administering your immigration medical examination must complete and sign the 07/19/2022 edition of the Form I-693.

 

Reminder: Effective October 1, 2021, applicants subject to the immigration medical examination must complete the COVID-19 vaccine series before the civil surgeon can complete an immigration medical examination and sign Form I-693. This applies to Form I-693 signed by civil surgeon on or after October 1, 2021.

 

Please return the completed Form I-693 in an envelope sealed by the civil surgeon. Including a copy of this notice with your Form I-693 will facilitate matching the medical report with your file.

 

Important Warning: Only a designated civil surgeon authorized by USCIS to conduct medical examinations is qualified to complete the Form I-693. The civil surgeon must sign and date the Form I-693. Signatures by a nurse, physician’s assistant, or a doctor not designated as a civil surgeon are not acceptable. You must also sign and date the Form I-693 when instructed to do so by the civil surgeon. When appropriately completed and signed, the original Form I-693 must be sealed in a separate envelope by the civil surgeon. The sealed envelope must be returned, unopened, to this office with any other requested evidence.

 

A list of designated civil surgeons can be obtained by calling the USCIS Contact Center at 1-800-375-5283, or via the USCIS website at www.uscis.gov and using the MyUSCIS Find a Doctor tool at my.uscis.gov/findadoctor. You will need to provide your zip code or address. If you are hearing impaired, please call the USCIS Contact Center TDD at 1-800-767-1833.

 

Although processing times cannot be guaranteed, to complete your case as soon as possible, we strongly encourage you to submit your complete Form I-693 via express mail.

I got the same notice today. Also duper confused… If K1s shouldn’t send this form, then why’d they even send such a notice?

Yea, I didn’t get any answer from USCIS either than “This is the official letter sent by a field office, follow the mailing instructions in the letter”. When I asked about the “if you are a k1 visa holder, disregard” part they said “Unfortunately I can’t decipher this part for you” and “I don’t know if it means you can ignore the letter”.
