AOS medical RFE after interview. Please help me understand what they want 🙏

[2022 9]

K1 to AOS. I got an RFE few days after the interview for I-693 medical. I did the complete medical for k1 and applicant voluntarily completed vaccinations box was ticked. IO also confirmed they had my medical from K1 at the field office interview.

 

Now polio was waived in my k1 medical, so I believe that's what they want from me now.. to get the polio vaccine. But is the RFE also asking me to do the entire medical again also?? 

 

Please wise folks, lend me your understanding. Also is there a USCIS email or something I could ask them directly to clarify what they want and have it in writing? I'm so close to the finish line, I'm stressing. I don't want to mess up now.

You should only need to get the Polio Vaccine and then have the Civil Surgeon complete the Vaccine Assessment part of the I-693 (if you can find one that will do just the assessment). There is a box on page 1 of the form #4.A. you should check indicating you are eligible for the Vaccine Assessment Only because you completed your Immigration Medical Exam overseas. Make sure you bring proof of the Polio Vaccine being administered (we got ours done at a CVS) AND bring a copy of the DS-3025 Vaccine Worksheet from the medical exam overseas. If you can't find a Civil Surgeon that will do just the assessment (all too common unfortunately) you will have to do the whole exam. If this is the case, still bring the copy of the DS-3025 and the proof of the polio vaccination.

I thought so too. I contacted Dr. Harris office to setup the appointment at CMC. I haven't communicated with him directly but the lady staff at his office told me to email my RFE and she is now concluding I need to do the whole medical. So that got me all confused again.

Oh Lord.... Our friend in Maryland got the same exact RFE and they did just the Vaccine Assessment, sent it into the USCIS field office as instructed and were approved 7 days later.
