For how long medicals submitted with 485 remain valid? 12 months or 15 months? I had done my medical in Sep '03 and submitted them with 485 in Oct 03. Now TSC has issued a RFE for medical on my 485. Can i resubmit the old medicals from the same Doctor in sealed envelope if possible?
I am wondering whetherr my Lawyer (Liar..) goofed up in sending the medical or whetherr TSC lost it or if they have actually expired...
Also i had all the required vaccinations, no Class A or Class B condition nor any other medical concern....

Thanks

You have to redo the medical again. Medicals are valid for one year before filing I-485. For example, say I did my medical Oct 1 2003, and filed 485 Oct5, 2003 the medical will be valid as long as the case is pending. But if you did medical a while back before filing your 485 you probably will have to redo it again. It could possibly also be a lawyer goof up like sending it late without your knowledge
 
I highly suspect the lawyer goofed up somewhere, or the civil surgeon left some areas of the form incomplete by mistake.
 
I have copy of the form and it is complete in all respects..

This policy is limited to those applications where no Class A or Class B medical conditions were certified. The policy was in effect until January 1, 2004.
