date filed: 12/10/2009

Notice date:12/14/2009

RFE: 12/31/2009

received RFE: 01/07/2010

Hey all, I have filed for I-485 based on K1 Visa. I have submitted the vaccination part at the time of initial filing certified by a local Civil surgeon. Now I have received an RFE stating " SUBMIT PROPERLY COMPLETED AND SIGNED FORM I-693", REPORT OF MEDICAL EXAMINATION AND VACCINATION RECORD FOR THE APPLICANT ON I-485.

Wht does it mean submit properly completed and signed( which I did only for the vaccination part, biographic page of applicant and certification page). the physician didnt do any physical exam on me. The nurse came over and I have submitted the vaccination records and she drafted all the information onto I-693 and got it certified by the doctor. tht was my medical.

2. Now wht should I do, Shall i repeat all the laboratory tests and physical examination along with whole vaccination inspite of undergoing all the medical except vaccination overseas.

I dont want anymore RFE's

If you don't want any more RFEs, then get a whole new medical.

If you want other options (you want to fight it):

- Some people have gone for an info pass and gotten the advice that they have done everything correctly, and they got an incorrect RFE and should return a reply which states that K1s only need to do the vaccination section etc. Unfortunately, I don't know of anyone who has actually done this, so I can't tell you how it turned out, but more than one infopass officer has made this recommendation.

- Another person successfully worked with their congress person's immigration helper and they made USCIS come up with their physical file, and the medical was then "found" I think it's because they don't always marry up the petition/visa file with the AOS file.

I had the same RFE and I just got the vaccination supplement done again and in my cover letter stated id had a medical in the UK. I also printed off the instructions were it states I do not need a medical and highlighted the specific part.

They got this yesterday so I have yet to know if it is good enough or if they will just send another RFE.

I will keep you posted.

blah blah blah

I realized that this might be interpreted. I meant "if you want to fight it, you have other options" not that I necessarily want to recommend to you that you duke it out with the USCIS.
