Received an email from USCIS
Hi folks, I just received the email from USCIS, and here’s the contents of the email: Thank you for submitting a Form I-485 (Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status) which has been transferred to a USCIS Field Office for review and adjudication. What to expect… Your Form I-485 will be reviewed promptly and may be adjudicated without an interview. If an interview is required, you will receive a separate notice with the date, time and location of your interview appointment. To expedite the processing of your Form I-485, please submit a valid and unexpired Form I-693 (Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record) completed by an authorized Civil Surgeon. If you have already submitted a valid Form I-693 that has not yet expired, please do not send another Form I-693 at this time. In addition, if your Form I-485 filing is based on a spousal relationship with a United States Citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident, please submit current and relevant documentation that substantiates your marital relationship. This is a courtesy notice and not an official Request for Evidence (RFE). If you have received an official RFE and/or an interview appointment notice, you may disregard this notice. However, if you wish to expedite the processing of your Form I-485, please submit the aforementioned documents along with a copy of this notice to the address below. What do you guys think about this? Is there anyone receiving the same email?

How can you get this email? Did you contact USCIS to ask them about your case or something?
yellow banana 🍌 May 6, 2023
@tiko tiko EB 3 Other worker no I sent the medical package with my I-485 application. I received email
yellow banana 🍌 May 6, 2023
@Sa ma nice, are you also from Seattle?
yellow banana 🍌 May 6, 2023
@bounty n no I don’t, they just sent it to me
tiko Tinatin from Georgia 🇬🇪 May 6, 2023
We still encourage you to undergo the immigration medical examination close to the time you file your Form I-485, because your Form I-693 is only valid for 2 years from the date of the civil surgeon’s signature. After the 2-year time frame, you must submit a new Form I-693 if we have not adjudicated your Form I-485. @yellow banana 🍌 It's written in the Immigration Alert, so I don't think you need to send the medical exam a second time.

@Tddf kgt it’s local FO
Ali RezaMay 6, 2023
hey there - I got this three days ago - came straight to my work email. it actually looked a bit spammy but clearly a bunch of us received it! Which FO did your case transfer to? Mine went to Honolulu…and then when I spoke to the live agent, they actually said it’s been there since Dec 2022, so not sure why I just got the courtesy notice! Any more updates?

Hi HoMay 6, 2023
I'm also in Seattle area and got this email 2 days ago. For me, it was transferred to Portland OR office. What I've been seeing from people is that if your case is transferred to a non-local office, the interview is waived mostly. If the case was transferred to a local office, then you might get an interview request.
Ali RezaMay 7, 2023
@Hi Ho did you respond or do anything with the notice? or have you already submitted your medicals etc?
H
Hi HoMay 7, 2023
@Ali Reza The notice clearly indicates that you don't need to submit i-693 if you have already. So I did nothing.
Ali RezaMay 7, 2023
yep @Hi Ho same here - shared with my attorney too as they have not received any formal mail / notice. let’s stay connected - hopefully good news soon.

@yellow banana 🍌 I have not received that email like that before, that’s why I was surprised why I did not get it before.
