Same been waiting for more than 10 months, but I did not even receive medicals request.
I've heard they ask for medical request when everything else has been done so you might be close to adjudication.

@M N same as me no RFE for i-485 yet, but I am waiting near 6 months and I did second fingerprint 5 months ago. I'm from Iran(19 countries that are banned). Are you from 19 countries that are banned? did you do second fingerprint?

if you are from one of the banned countries then your case is on hold and nothing can be done about the case or with the case

@swami samartha after your vawa approval, when did you receive request for medical. can you please share timeline of your approval and medical request.
I got my vawa approved in August 2025 but I have received biometrics appointment for August ending just before I got my vawa approval. after I did biometrics, no further update to confirm the biometrics or request for medial. I called them twice to know what’s going on. USCIS emailed me Dec 31st that they received my recent enquiry for my i485 and said my file has been placed back in queue to schedule for interview. said I should receive interview between 90days and if not I should reach out again
