why do they do this recently? sending out courtesy mails for medicals.
jim sMar 22, 2023
not sure, i know a lot of people have had them. i was annoyed as it is now my third medical. but theres nothing you can do.

you shouldn’t sent a medical for a courtesy letter unless it’s and RFE letter that mostly delay your case
the blessedMar 22, 2023
again courtesy letter is different to RFE letter

hey Jim s did you send your medical with your pending 485 receipt notice ?
jim sMar 22, 2023
i did one in the uk. then another with my i-485 as i had some vaccines i needed. then again with the courtesy email.
and if they ask for it then you have to do it. regardless of if its rfe or not. yes i know its different to rfe. but they change it to an rfe if you dont send it. so all i would be doing is making it longer to wait.
i asked uscis and they told me of they ask for it then you have to send it again. its happened for lots of others. im not gonna spend more time contesting it with uscis.

@jim s I received a courtesy letter email as well last month. My medicals were received on March 21st as per fedex but haven't received any update from uscis.

anyone knows if Harlingen sends acknowledgments for medical request?
jim sMar 29, 2023
@anthony A i think if its an rfe it will update your status. but if its an email like mine i think you wont get anything, i think your case will just be approved or they will ask for more stuff.
