My I-693 Deficiency Notice states that, if I receive an interview notice, I must bring the information and evidence required to address the deficiency. If my case does not require an interview, I will receive an RFE with further instructions. Also asks me not to mail any documents at this time.

My question is at what point should I complete the Medical Examination? If the interview and interview notice are a week apart, then that'll be a little tight.

My attorney strongly encouraged me to do the examination before filing for that reason.
In my case the examination involved some bloodwork and it took about a week to get the results.

USCIS: would NEVER send a notice with ONLY one week for an interview. They know you don't have your medical. The risk you have when sending the medical with your filing is that if they reject it (twice in my case). You have to have new medical because they would brake the seal, which implies more money to waste.

salb I received a similar letter. My lawyer advised me to wait. I ended up receiving an RFE to mail it, and it had a date of well over a month to mail it to them. Because you don’t know exactly when that RFE will come, your medical might expire. In my case, the letter (Medical form deficiency courtesy letter), came in mid March, and the RFE letter came in early July, and they gave me till September 21 to send it. Hope this helps.

Thanks. So you never had the interview?

I did not. 485 was approved two weeks after mailing to my field office in Boston. Best of luck to you.

Under what circumstances would they waive the interview? What was your situation that they waived it, if you don't mind me asking?

As I understand it, if you’re a parent of USC, the interview can be waived. Which was the case for me. I’ve also read here that some employment based AOS interview requirement have been waived.

Is it safe to assume that you might not receive an RFE after you receive a I-693 notice? From looking at people's timelines, that's what it seems like. I'm assuming they have already gone through my package and the I-693 was the only thing that was missing.

Did anyone get biometrics? I got my 797 two weeks ago, no biometrics appointment yet. How long does it take to come?

[Samhusk]

Anyone got a biometrics appointment in Cleveland? I-130/I-485/I-765 received back on 28 May. No biometrics yet.

[kippenpox]

I filed 6 weeks ago and no biometrics yet.
Based on what people are posting on Reddit April and March filers are getting biometrics now. Very few marriage based AOS getting biometrics who filed after that. I'd wait 2 or 3 more months
