@Di Ra and @C EB2 NIW, did you guys receive the RFE to send the medicals before the interview? Or you need to take the medicals during the interview?

I got RFE on birth certificate not medical, submitted medical in Aug 2021.

my notice also ask me to bring my medicals

@Di Ra yes I’ll share all the details, I’m actually super anxious and a little nervous

don't worry, you can do it, be calm. all the best, there is one group in telegram, 485- eb-interview group name, just join this group, people are sharing their experiences of interview in different FO.

@C EB2 NIW, how was your interview? can you please share your experiences.

thx

ok I went today let me go step by step but there are good news and bad

I’m curious to know how was your interview

1) I went to the appointment with all my dependents (Wife and 2 sons +18yrs) our appointment was at 8:00am but we arrived at 7:35am and they allow us to enter. 2) The Security guards at the gate checked our appointment notices and the we went to Xray’s “airport style" security check: bags, all objects out from pockets, belt off, watch off, keys etc. 3) 1st. step inside: Receptionist checked our EAD’s and interview notices, they gave us one ticket with a number for all of us. 4) 2nd step: We went to another desk and they asked us again for our EAD’s and Interview notice, and then they took us a picture and scanned our index finger, after this they told us to wait for our number to be called. 5) 3rd step: An officer came to the door and called our number. She told me that only 3 persons are allowed in the office, my wife and myself decided to go first. My two sons waited for us in the waiting room. 6) Interview time: Made the Oat, asked me to sign a paper that I agreed to proceed without an attorney and then started with the principal applicant (me): She asked me for information about my I-140 (Resume, Studies History, Diplomas/Titles, Past job positions and Job description, Dates, My job Address), Birth Certificate, Marriage Certificate, Resume, Current Job letter, Driver License, EAD. She didn’t go thru all YES/NO questions but just asked me the main or most critical ones. But then………. She asked me for me medicals………. I told her ...here there are…. and before she opened the sealed envelope, she mentioned me “Beginning the end of May the Hepatitis B vaccine is now Mandatory, let me see if your surgeon included it” and guess what I called my surgeon one week before and asked him “Hey is this Hepatitis B mandatory” and he reply me that “No” I haven’t received any notice about that. Long story short …… The office told me “I see no issues in you I-485, but I will send you an RFE to include your Hepatitis B on your medicals. She told me it was going out today and actually I just got a notice from USCIS that an RFE has been issued, and she will try to adjudicated as soon as possible after I send the RFE response. (I will explain more of this at the end of this history) Finally signed the I-485 for with all the corrections. 7) She then started the interview with my wife, and asked routine questions, dates, address, port of entry, I-94, Birth certificate, EAD, Driver License, Parent DOB, and again didn’t went to all YES/NO questions, just general security questions and finish. Did the same with the medicals. Finally signed the I-485 for with all the corrections. 8) Then she escorted my wife to the waiting room and brought my two sons with me. She made the Oat to them and started the interview with basics bio questions, address, port of entry, Jobs, and asked them if they work or study. Then she asked for the medicals and same history. Finally signed the I-485 for with all the corrections. 9) She gave me a paper that an RFE will be issued. Medicals Issue: a) After we got out of the Field Office, we went to CVS to have the Hepatitis B vaccine which was free with our health insurance and then we went to the surgeon office to have our medicals forms filled again. He didn’t charge us for this since it was his responsibility, he assumes that USCIS never notified them about this change. b) Since an RFE has been issued now this is going to be received by my lawyer, I called him today and explain him about it, he says that I should not reply by myself the RFE, that I should send him my medicals and he will be the one sending the medicals to USCIS, he told me if we don’t do this there could be an issue like misrepresentation with USCIS or something about that. Tomorrow I will be sending my medicals to my lawyer to gain time, when he received my RFE he will be sending my medicals. Conclusion …… HEPATITIS B delayed my Adjudication (maybe a one more month if I’m lucky)

@C EB2 NIW , thank you so much for your explanation, you will get soon GC in hand. did you take your resume with you or they mention in interview letter as required documents. how was officer who took interview? I also had my medical in 2021 not sure I had hepatitis or not?

Houston FO Sep 1,2022 interview time, 7:45 am @8:10 interview officer called us inside,Attorney with me First took Oath Asked my ID( gave EAD), missed place my DL so gave EAD And both passport. Asked my employer offer letter ( initially employer sent offer letter mentioning my current salary without mentioning any duties) latter changed offer letter with salary and duties as per PREM this changed as per my attorney suggestion. And interviewer officer validate offer letter’s each line with PREM detail. Luckily my attorney suggestion worked here. My attorney already told me if offer letter detail is different then PREM detail would be chance to decline case. Then asked about my college detail and My address detail, There are some information need correction in 485 form so I took new 485 form with me, so I told interview office there are some information need to be correct so he asked where, there multiple places need to be correct so my attorney told me handover new 485 form which need to be correct, officer gave me red pen and marked it where need to be correction need so gave new 485 form( not all form, only required page) and interviewer officer told me he will keep this one, will correct 485 form latter based on my new 485 form, Then he asked some Yes , NO questions from 485 form, And he gave me pepper to sign. And the end he asked 485j supplement form( initially my employer side attorney did not mention this 485j form, but my attorney told me, they might ask so we made that form just a day before interview) Interview went around 20 minutes. At interview officer told me, you will get card within Sep, need sometime to review document and update 485 form but after day it new card produced.
