RFE for Medical Exam

[vanlee 0]

USCIS is asking for signed copy of Medical Exam (DS-2053) as a request for Initial Evidence (I-485) when the exam was done in Colombia as a requirement to get the K-2 visas for my two (now) step daughters. My K-1 visa fiancé (now wife) gave the sealed envelopes with the exam results to the immigration official at port of entry in Orlando and they said it would be sent on to meet up with the AOS. The funny thing is that they didn't ask for my wife's DS-2053, just her two daughters. I have tried calling their so-called National Customer Service Center, but the recorded messages are of no help and it doesn't give a live person option. I can have the exams done again here in the U.S. if I have to, but it's time and money wasted. I'm assuming that the documents have been misplaced somewhere on the inside. Any ideas on what I should do here???

Not sure what you should do, but if you were trying to call the USCIS, you need to select 1, 2 and then 3 and you will get a real person. I have called them so many times, including about 6 times during the last 3 days.

The CS's office in Colombia will have records of the DS-2053 that they signed. Contact them first. Apart from the offical form, do you have a signed record of the shots the children have? It's a time limited RFE, so you may have to find a local CS to have the forms signed again.

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

I tried contacting the CS in Bogota and they said that they would only answer to the Embassy there, and I can only imagine what a hassle that would be. I did manage to get through to a live person on the Customer Service 800# and after she read off her canned reply basically telling me to get an immigration attorney, I told her thanks but that the information was useless and then to my surprise she connected me to a higher level of help (an immigration officer) who told me to send a letter explaining the situation in reply to the RFE to point out their mistake in requesting the physical exam that was already conducted in Colombia as a condition of the K2 visa. Thanks for your input.
