RFE (AOS-K1 Visa) (RFE threads on I-693 and I-485 merged)

[Swing Bernardo 3]

Hi, I received an RFE regarding my Form I-485. I would like to ask if I need to use the updated edition because the only advice they provided in my RFE was to answer the public charge question. I'm confused about whether I need to update other questions under the I-485 forms or just focus on the public charge. Additionally, should I use the updated edition or continue with the one we used for filing? Thank you so much!

The last lines tell you exactly what to do. 

You are NOT to fill out a new form. 

You ARE to fill out the form they returned to you as instructed.

They didn't give back my Form I-485. The only thing I receive is the RFE notice.

So your RFE has no questions on it like all RFEs that ask you to fill out the questions you missed?

No?

Ask Emma why your RFE is incomplete.

They asked me to have a civil surgeon sign, together with my vaccination record. However, I believe I don't need those because it's not yet one year since my medical exam and vaccination from the date that we filed. Can you guys help me understand what to do with my RFE?

Based on the RFE noticed that we received, they just want us to change my answer from no to yes regarding to public charge. I just really want to double check if the edition that we use for our application is okay or we really need to use the updated edition.

You are only required to send in the updated page (s) with the corrected answers for public charge . This must be done on the SAME edition as the filed I-485. 
 

If you do not have a file copy of that edition page or cannot download it, then you would need to do a complete I-485 form ( all pages ) and indicate an updated edition form is enclosed . 
 

At the end of the day, they must end up with a complete / corrected form where ALL pages are of the same edition

It's possible the original medical is missing something.

 

The path of least resistance is to get a fresh medical. You already have another RFE and seem to be somewhat close to decision. Don't get your I-485 denied, because you'll have to start over (think about new wait and fees!)

Does your copy of DS-3025 state that all vaccination requirements have been met? There’s a box that needs to be ticked.
