RFE for Medical Exam

[BearAndKoala 16]

Hello again!

 

This may sound dumb since there's so much information to help here, but still I feel better asking directly.

 

So we just received an RFE for my wife's I-693, but we already have the medical exam paperwork from the Philippines, her D-3025. There's an option to upload her record to her USCIS account, would that fulfill the RFE?

 

She took her medical exam on 7/5/2022 and she arrived here on 8/29/2022, we turned in her I-485 on 11/28/22.

The safest option is always to submit a fresh medical exam. It's cheaper than resubmitting the AOS packet in case if USCIS don't like that exam and deny application for whatever reason.

 

RFE for medical is usually a last step before approving application without interview.

I'm seeing a lot of people that just responded with a copy of their D-2035 and it was approved, but of course I'm nervous about sending them what the RFE wasn't talking about. But the I-693 isn't required because she'd completed her exam overseas less than a year ago, or so it says.

 

There's just too much conflicting information and I don't want to spend money I don't have to 😅

I checked the documents under her AOS application on her USCIS account and the DS-3025 isn't there, should I just upload it as the requested evidence?

 

I'm freaking out though because after I click the link it says I have ONE shot to upload the evidence, and if I get it wrong she can be denied. Please help 😅

I've seen a COURTESY EMAIL notice for I-693 where the applicant re-uploaded the DS-3025 and was approved.

If you got the RFE for I-693, then I would do as the RFE says. Not complying completely with the RFE risks abandoning the AOS application or AOS denial and starting over.

You have two options --

1. Do a new medical, then respond to the RFE with the sealed I-693 from the civil surgeon.
2. Respond to the RFE with a copy of the DS-3025 (assuming it is marked "completed"), along with a statement citing the I-693 official instructions that I-693 is not required from those adjusting status from K1 with completed DS-3025.

Option #1 is safer, but I've also seen reports from VJ members who had success with option #2.
