Correct -- her medical exam was dated 9/29/2010, and the I-485 was submitted Jan 2011 -- I have copy of radiography and vaccinations (ds-3025)both dated the same, as we took care of all the medical exams and vaccination in one day, I know I was there LOL -- the brown envelope (I-693) is surrendered to border patrol upon your arrival to the united states, and from there they are responsible for sending to DHS ..

I contacted my House Rep and I am awaiting response, but I also contacted immigration at orlando airport and was told by a supervisor there that everything is sent to a texas lockbox and has a tracking number assigned to it, and he is looking for the package and will contact me back.

The RFE is very vague, and doesnt tell you exactly what the problem is, and that in itself, is the problem....

There is NO I-693 in the brown envelope. It's the DS-3025 (vaccination records) and other medical docs (DS-2053, DS-3024, DS-3026). The I-693 is done here in the US where the vaccinations are transcribed into part of the form.

****** update***** Recieved phone call from my Congressman's office ( Gus Bilirakis ) -- Apparently this is the most common RFE for visa's, and was informed that the I-693 is in fact the brown envelope and with the k-1 visas it is not even needed to send in an I-693 since it was already surrendered to CBP --- Was also informed that this is an issue being raised with USCIS and some upcoming hearing regarding these denials with general /vague meanings ... I remember reading something about this hearing on capitol hill, but cant find it....

I can suggest anyone with this RFE issue to contact their congressmans office!

You again are mixing terms. The I-693 is NOT done for a k1 visa. It is done at the AOS stage here in the US therefore it would NOT be in the brown envelope.

You're technically supposed to be able to submit the DS-325 if adjusting from K-1. Most people err on the side of caution and pay $50-75ish to get the vaccinations part transcribed onto a I-693. So let's keep it simple, and try and figure out what's happened?

What date was the DS-3025 (medical before K-1 interview) completed? Dated 9/29/2010

Was the vaccination history marked as complete on the DS-3025? YES

Did you submit any proof of payment for the medical, clearly indicating the date of the transaction?

Did you get an I-693 as well? Surrendered to Border Patrol / Immigration at point of entry

If so, what was the date on the I-693? 9/29/2010

If so, did you send the DS-3025 and the I-693, or just the latter? Sent I-693 filled out with section 1 only, with copy os DS-3025

So I'm confused again. You wouldn't have done the I-693 in your home country, it would have been done in the US. If you sent in only page 1 of the I-693 then they could think that you're missing the rest of the form. You said your I-693 is dated 2010, but you didn't do that in your home country so when did you go to a civil surgeon in the US to get it completed? Did you double check the date says 2010?

My Fiance already had her medical done for what USCIS has listed on the website for Tuberculosis,

Syphilis for applicants 15 years or older

HIV (blood test) etc.... the blood test were done already in her home country ( as i was there when they drew her blood and tested her), as it was a requirement for her visa. She also had her vaccinations and radiography. All these were part of the medical exam, approved by the US embassy.

Okay. Those docs were the previously mentioned: "DS-3025 (vaccination records) and other medical docs (DS-2053, DS-3024, DS-3026)".

You also stated you filled in page 1 of the I-693.. did you actually do that or are you confused about the forms? The I-693 is here: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-693.pdf does it look familiar?

Like I said, if you only completed page 1 they could think the rest is missing, if you wrote the wrong date on it they could be confused. Or it could simply be a false RFE if you never included an I-693 at all.

I am about tired of dealing with this... Our rfe states that reason for the denial is it is certified more than one year from date. Our congressman office got in touch with National Records Center and was told the medical was in spanish and not signed by the doctor ( had nothing to do with the date) --- so then I contact the Embassy in San Jose Costa Rica and was told the doctors who perform medicals for them only use english forms, and if the forms were in spanish or not signed, they would not have accepted it, they would of had us go back to the doctor to obtain the correct forms and signature....
