A Q&A session I found:
10. With the moving up of the asylee adjustment cut-off from 11/16/1999 to 3/30/2000, what is NSC's practice for notifying asylee 485 applicants that they should now obtain medical exam results?
In the past we've understood that asylee applicants need not enclose medical exam results at the time of I-485 application but will instead be notified by NSC. What is the anticipated form of notice- will an RFE be issued? If so, will the standard 87 days be given to provide the exam results? Applicants understandably do not want to obtain a medical exam before NSC notifies them to submit one, since if they obtain it too early and then their I-485 is not reached, the exam results could expire; alternately, applicants who go out and get an exam done once NSC notifies them to submit them might not be able to provide the exam results within the specified deadline. Will NSC be flexible in situations where the applicant has had a medical exam done within the deadline and explains the reasons why the sealed envelope of results is not yet available by the RFE deadline?
Answer: An RFE will be issued for any required evidence, to include the medical examination and relating vaccination supplement. The regulatory 87 days will be allowed for the applicant to respond. To date, we have not found that completion of Form I-693 or the vaccination supplement has been a problem within the 87-day timeframe.
