Immigration Medical Exam RFEs: How to Fix Form I-693 Problems Fast

A request for evidence (RFE) on Form I-693 is common in adjustment cases. Most problems involve missing signatures, outdated exams, or sealed-envelope mistakes.

Frequent I-693 Issues

• Civil surgeon signature missing or outside validity rules
• Vaccination record incomplete
• Exam package opened or damaged
• Submitting an old version of the form

Responding the Right Way

Follow the RFE notice exactly, schedule a compliant exam quickly, and include a clear cover letter matching each issue raised by USCIS.

Timing Matters

Late or incomplete RFE responses can lead to denial. Keep proof of delivery and copies of everything submitted.

Best Practice

Use a checklist before mailing to confirm signatures, dates, sealed envelope rules, and form edition requirements.
