Hello - I am going through the AOS Green Card process after coming to the U.S. on a K-1 visa and getting married. I recieved a Request for Evidence letter in the mail detailing that I have submitted an incomplete I-693 Form and that I will need to get another medical examination for the medical doctor to give me a packet to send to USCIS, this will need to be done by March 2024.
When I was in Brasil for the Medical exam on 1/17/2023, I only recieved a DS-3025 Vaccination Documentation Worksheet. Which is what I included in the AOS packet latter after getting married, but I remember back in Brazil, the Medical clinic said that they'd mail info packet (presumably the I-693) to the embassy... and I went along to my visa interview and passed it just fine.
The RFE letter I got is vauge and does not explicitly tell you what was wrong with the original I-693 form, but it does mention that civil surgeons must use the 03/09/2023 eddition and that USCIS will not accept the 07/19/2022 version if the civil surgeon signed the form after May 30, 2023.
Do I really need to have another medical exam? Is there anything I can do legally?
If I must get another medical exam here in the U.S., can I use a copy of the DS-3025 (Vaccination Documentation Worksheet) as my vaccination records, since what I have from Brazil is an old portugese card for vaccination that will need to be translated... again. That old vaccination card is literally what got copied to the DS-3025 I have... why would I need to do a translation again if I haven't had any new vaccinations since?
This is my 2nd RFE and I am incredibly frustrated but beyond tired with the process to even muster emotion. It's been a long taxing, confusing 3yrs.
