Where oh where is my biometrics letter? Why is it taking so long? Should I be worried? I guess it's a good thing since my husband is back in Jamaica right now on Emergency AP...but I would feel better knowing something was happening.

Nadda...not a one!

When it's over 30 days from your NOA1 receipt you can call them and do a service request for a biometric appointment.

I have to wait the full 30 days? I'm afraid that they sent something already and we didn't get it. I'm only worrying because hubby wants to fly back here in time so we don't have to reschedule the appointment.

I wonder if it got delayed because of our Infopass/Emergency AP request. *Sigh*

If your case hasn't been touched since NOA1, then they probably didn't send you anything. So you can eliminate concern over not receiving it.... not that that makes you feel much better. :unsure:

Got the Biometrics Letter (dated 12/15/09 and postmarked 12/22/09) today as well as the dreaded RFE notice (dated 12/22/09) for the I-693. A and I didn't have the DS-3025, so we sent in a copy of his receipt for the Medical exam and his complete vaccination record. Hopefully he will be able to get a copy while he is in Jamaica.

My PCP (Primary Care Physican) is listed on the USCIS website as a Civil Surgeon (never knew this)...only thing is that I was forced to choose alternate insurance because my company dropped the one I had. DRATS! I wonder if he would still do it for us without charging an arm and a leg. HHmmmmm...I'll call him tomorrow. I wish I could take the documents to him before the 1st of the year...but A is not here with me.

I hope we can get it done with little hassle and as inexpensive as possible...considering how much we pay in Jamaica for the 1st medical. The Bio appointment is January 11th. A should be back here around the 6th or 7th...hopefully the 6th and we can try to walk in on the 7th.

How long do you have to reply to the RFE?

And did it tell him to have the complete medical again, or just get those 3 sections filled out on the I-693?

It was a yellow form that stated we had to return within 87 days. We have to complete Part 1 (Page 1), Part 2, Item 5 (Vaccination Section), and Part 5 (Civil Surgeon's Signature). It states not to include x-ray films, and to submit the letter with the medical. The I-693 has to be in a sealed enevelope.

We also cannot obtain a copy of the missing DS-3025. A said that they never gave him a copy...just the sealed enevelope that was taken at POE. I truly hope the vaccination card we have is enough. This is so freaking frustrating.

I hope that's what ours says too. It still isn't here. I've never checked the mail so much in my life (well, maybe when I knew the NOA2 was on the way).

The vaccination card shouldn't be an issue, as Part 2 section 5 states to copy the vaccinations from personal records.

our RFE read like this:

"Submit a properly completed and signed Form I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record (Rev. 06/05/08 or later) for the applicant on Form I-485. The medical examination must be conducted by a civil surgeon who has been designated by the USCIS. The medical must be issued less that one year prior to the filing date of Form I-485".......

we just redid the whole medical~

he needed another MMR shot

picking up the sealed envelope tommorow
