YES, TB test IS mandatory for I485.
Just checking if TB skin test is mandatory for AOS approval..
Basically, yes, it's mandatory. But it doesn't have to be a one at your civil surgeon's, as long as you meet the CDC's recommendation. My case was the latter; I got approved without a skin test at the civil surgeon's, but I had had a test (+ve) and x-ray before here in the U.S. He noted that on my I-693. No skin test, just an x-ray, no REF, and I got approved.

I am talking about TB SKIN test. Did anybody get approved without skin test AND without doctor explaining why skin test was not done?

Both my wife and I received RFE's for the TB skin test last year, even though we had the xrays done.
We had the skin test and got approvals as soon as the visa was available.
My friend who had used the doctor had the same thing happen.
The doctor said it was something new that they brought up in 2007, and that he had a lot of people with clean xrays and then come back for the skin test which they failed and then still got the GCs.
Good luck.

mmlulin,
Which service center, NSC or TSC? What is your 485 RD?

Not necessarily. I just got approved without TB test, no explanation on the I-693 form. NO REF either. I think that they are rushing to meet the Mrach 10 deadline set by themself. Medically, it is rediculous to demand a TB if X-ray is negative.

Approval with no TB skin test on primary
I received my approval this morning (3/10). While my wife had an RFE for the TB skin test, I did not.
Her case is still pending... (RFE received 2/20.)

Hoping to get a positive response soon.
