Interfile Medicals
My i-485 got transferred and I’m trying to interfile my Medicals, since I haven’t gotten an RFE yet. I contacted Emma live agent and they informed me it got transferred to NBC but I have to use my local field office for processings time- Baltimore. I’m wondering, where do I send my Medicals to; NBC or my local office? I plan on getting two copies but I want to be sure I’m sending the first one to the correct center. I know interfiling isn’t guaranteed but it’s worth the try. Has anyone had any similar experience?. #transfer #interfile #medicals #i485

@tweet my case has been transferred to NBC and my original center was TSC. Shouldn’t I send it to NBC?

my recommendation is that unless you got an RFE or a courtesy notice from USCIs asking to send the medicals, do not send them . It may not get added to your application or will be in the wrong center and you will end up having to send it again which is a waste of money

@kartik yeah I read that as well. But can I get the Medicals done and wait until I get the RFE, Medicals are valid for 6 months and I’m hopeful I’d get the RFE before 6 months.

medical valid for 2 years now. You can get it done now, in no rush then wait for rfe or at least you know for sure which field office handles your case and send medical there

thanks @A T. I think I’d just do it now and wait till I get the RFE.

i got a letter saying the medical is missing but to not send anything now and they’ll let me know. unless you receive an RFE I wouldn’t send anything because it can make the processing longer. some people just brought their medical to the interview and that’s fine. also, the 2 year rule is what I’ve been seeing as well.

oh I see, good to know thanks!

I am not sure inter filing is a good idea. my was transferred to NBC, the site says NBC but it is being handled by NY. NY is not my FO.
get the medical booked, some Drs are having 6 weeks wait time. once you get the RFE just overnight express it. my 2 cents. better than having an envelope moving around

@luiz, thanks! I’d just have mr Medicals done and wait until the RFE

I actually Interfiled my medical to NBC and it was successfully received and attached to my file. let me know if you have any questions. don’t let anyone discourage you. it’s a personal choice if you’re willing to take a risk. I’m glad I took the risk. it can potentially speed up your case
Yele OJul 27, 2022
@J J 485, I’m willing to take the risk. I asked my lawyer and she said I should I wait until I get a RFE. I mean I don’t think I’d impact the process, worse case it they’d not just receive it and I’d send another one.
Yele OJul 27, 2022
@J J 485, please let me know how I can contact you directly on the process. thanks!
J J 485Jul 27, 2022
okay what’s your Facebook I’ll message you

@ JJ 485 - I also want to know process to interfile at NBC . Please let me know

I googled medical Interfile and used a website that was able to generate a cover letter for me along with barcodes using my case number and a number. then I called uscis a few times on different days to make sure my case was at NBC. then I sent it to NBC PO Box since I used USPS.
