Hi everyone! I’m a bit confused and surprised. USCIS has received our case on August 7th of this year and just yesterday I already got an RFE for the Medical. The strange thing is, I do not even have a scheduled appointment for my biometrics yet. Doesn’t the RFE for the medical mean that a case is almost at the end? Could it really be that they are this quick?! FYI: all NOA1s came from NBC. Thanks for bringing some light in the dark! Sandra

It’s Highly recommended to send medical with the application itself as the Validity of Medicals is now back to 2 years from 6 months. USICS needs a complete application and maybe it’s because of that. Thanks

Thanks Nick! This would make sense.

Biometrics is for background check etc medical is a part of the application so it depends if the officer observes no red flags they can waive the interview and send RFE( in your case for medical. Your biometrics letter should be in the mail coming to you. And yes some of them don’t waste time from my experience.

Thanks Kimberly! If that were the case OMG they would be faster than the fire department 😄

what is your service center?

sr: service center should be Denver. But all NOA1s have NBC on it.
