So we're going through RapidVisa again for the adjustment of status since we used them for the initial filing of the K-1 visa portion. Once you fill out the questionnaire they email you a list of all the documents / evidence you need to upload to them, and one of those documents they require is the DS-3025. Now being the rule-following, line-toeing people that we are we did not open the scary sealed envelope that was given to my wife for us to deliver into the hands of the immigration officer at her PoE. So we never saw to contents, let alone got any copies of the documents inside said envelope. So when RapidVisa tells us we need to submit a copy of a DS-3025, lets just say we were perplexed what that document even was or how we were supposed to have a copy of it once we looked it up. So I explain all of this to RapidVisa via their email and over the phone, and each person I talk to politely listens to me explain all the aforementioned, and then proceeds to tell me that if we don't have a DS-3025 we now need to schedule a new medical exam with a civil surgeon to get an I-693. So of course we're panicking and more than a little frustrated, I ask her to try and contact the hospital that did her examination in her country in the miniscule chance that they're actually send us a copy of the DS-3025, and I find on these forums other posts with people having similar issues with the DS-3025. One such example: In the above post the very first reply is the link and quote from the USCIS page that says exactly what I was looking for, "K and V nonimmigrants applying for adjustment of status are not required to repeat the medical examination if the application was filed within one year of the date of the original medical examination, and: The medical examination did not reveal a Class A medical condition; or The applicant received a conditional waiver in conjunction with the K or V nonimmigrant visa or the change of status to V and the applicant submits evidence of compliance with the waiver terms and conditions. [27] " When I emailed RapidVisa this link as well as pasting the entire section to show them that the USCIS themselves are saying they don't require another examination if the AoS is filed within a year of the original exam, they reply saying that we will still need to get another exam. Then against all odds the hospital in my wife's country comes in clutch and actually sends us a copy of her DS-3025. I scan it and upload to RapidVisa, and ask them to verify if it is sufficient. They respond that yes, it is a good copy of the DS-3025, but that we will still need to get a new medical exam... So, originally only the DS-3025 was requested. Then when we didn't have it they require an exam to get the I-693. When shown that the USCIS themselves don't require it they ignore that, still need the exam. Then we get the document they wanted in the first place, but now that's not good enough because a sealed I-693 would be better... When going over the instructions for the I-693, the very form they are requiring, on page 7 section 3 it states: "What if I am a K nonimmigrant visa holder and already completed an immigration medical examination abroad? If you were admitted as a: A. K-1 fiancé(e) or a K-2 child of a K-1 fiancé(e); or B. K-3 spouse of a U.S. citizen or a K-4 child of a K-3 spouse of a U.S. citizen; and C. You received a medical examination prior to admission, then: (1) You are not required to complete another immigration medical examination as long as you file your Form I-485 within one year of an immigration medical examination completed outside the United States" So I sent this to them, same response. I'm just beyond frustrated with this whole situation, and now get to spend another $500 for a redundant medical exam and my wife may have to get the same painful vaccinations all over again. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

How did it work out for you? Were you ever able to proceed without receiving your Welcome letter?
