RFE for I-693 after AOS interview

[noz 3]

Hi guys,

I had my interview this past Monday. It was fairly painless and overall went pretty well.

The only problem is that I had my K-1 interview just under a year ago, on November 4 2015 but my medical was on October 27 2015. AOS interview was on October 31 2016 so it's been just over a year and the IO said I may need a new medical done. She said her supervisor will make the decision.

What I didn't expect was that she said my DS-3025 wasn't complete because the doctor who filled it in my home country didn't check the box "US vaccination requirements complete". I remember a thread here on VJ about wether you need a new medical for AOS or not. It said that some doctors will check the box and others won't but that usually the IO will see that the vaccinations are complete not worry about it.

She literally said "It's not marked as complete, although I see you have all the required vaccinations. I think you'll need a new form anyway, regardless of the fact your original medical expired".

Today I got a RFE in the mail asking for form I-693. It seems that's it's only asking for the vaccination record part of the form, but I wonder if I should have the whole medical again or not.

Here is what it says:

"The Form I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record, that you submitted is incomplete. We need additional medical information to complete your case. The civil surgeon must complete the Vaccination Record on the Form I-693 and it must have original signatures."

It's funny they say that because I didn't submit Form I-693 in the first place so it can hardly be incomplete.

Anyway, do you think it's safe to just have vaccination record section filled out and send that back? Or should I do the complete medical examination?

Thanks for your help.

No need for new medical. Follow the I-693 instructions for K-1 applicants and just have the civil surgeon fill out parts 1, 2, 4 and 7 of the I-693.
