unexpired medicals is mandatory, no ifs ands and buts about it.

@Samir ojha my old medical has been expired in July 2025, they send me a RFE on January 2026 for new one! my pd is current from December 2025!

@vitaliy 123 any response post submission? approved ?

@Mandem FC NBC received my medical on March 13 and nothing after that! still waiting

@Samir ojha your PD? have you interviewed yet?

@Jay Tran me and my wife were interviewed on may 2022.

I had the same situation they sent me a RFE to submit medical again and after reviewing the new medical the approve the case.

thank you @random eb3

@vitaliy 123 hopefully you get approved soon. I have heard it takes few months even after current. so Good luck

@Samir ojha I spoke to a live USCIS agent today and my case was transferred from NBC to the local Omaha field office. I think I will be scheduled for an interview.

@vitaliy 123 is that your local field office?

@vitaliy 123 good sign tbh

@Alex X yes, Omaha field office is my local one!

high chance is an interview

@Alex X I requested FOIA in January 2026 it said I was interviews waived , but in the last conversation the agent told me that my INTERVIEW WAIVER ELIGIBLE CANCELLED and case was transferred to local field office!

@vitaliy 123 inteview is the new normal are you working ? if all your documents are ready you should be good just hope they schedule you soon and you can get the decision quicker

@Mandem FC yes I am working for my sponsor for 6 years from 2020! I started working on H2A visa then on 2022 filled AOS! I hope they schedule an interview soon.

@random eb3 how long did it take from RFE submission received by USCIS to the AoS approval?

Are you single applicant or with any dependents? Now all cases (CRP) they will transfer to local office for final review (include me)

@Mandem FC there was a guy who posted here earlier, he never worked. Working for sponsor is not mandatory, but I would like to hear from folks who are not working for their sponsor said the same during interview and how it went for them.

@GRU Alpha not mandatory to work you have all the right to work post approval and that is what i recommend as well just when they question you need to be ready with the answer its not a big issue as how bdv and all have highlighted lol just dont do any crime and you should be good

my pd is april 2021 and still not gc i fillea mandamus lawsuit yesterday so let see

they may ask or they may not. i know someone who got GC but he was not asked to resubmit medical. so, it all depends

@shiblee 06 do you know when was the last time they submitted medical ?

Depending on when you submitted your Medical exam, if it was signed by the surgeon general before before november 1st of 2023 then it is only valid for two years and if signed after the above date then it is valid indefinately. So using the above and applying it to your case if signed before the above and your case is still pending then there is a high chance USCIS will issue and RFE for udated medical.Unless you qualify for an exemption/waiver your medicalis required for uscis to fully adjudicate your case.

@Manifest Law thank you for the input.

My medical was expired and when my case became current I did receive an RFE to re submit the medical and after 2 months my case got approved.
