RFE for Medical Exam

[sidpri]

Both me and my wife received a RFE recently to submit medical exam reports. The problem is that my wife is on vaction in India and by the time she is scheduled to return, its very close to the submission deadline
Has anyone faced this situation?

Did you get the medicals done from India?
Did you successfully ask for extension of deadline?

Be aware

I am not in your situation, but I got a RFE for my medical and got it done again. But, there have been few members who have been in your scenario. I remember one of the member's wife came back from India earlier than scheduled. Search the forum under medical exams section and you will be able to find the other cases.

My initial Medical was done in June 2007, where the PPD (TB Skin test) was marked positive as i knew was tested positive earlier. This time the civil surgeon said - if the induration is above 10 mm - i will have to go for treatment of TB, due to changes in the medical procedure, plus i have to show papers of earlier tests (which were positive).

The civil surgeon i went to was not good and wanted to incorrectly fill Part 3 and Part 4 of the I-693 form (medical form) - which according to the USCIS would increase the chances of rejection. Check the link below if that is the case for you.

In what instances must the referral section in Part 3 be completed?

Only complete Part 3, Referral to Health Department or Other Doctor / Facility, if the referral was required, such as when a Class A condition is suspected and needs further evaluation. Do not complete Part 3 if the referral was merely recommended by the CDC. Instead notate the (recommended but not required) referral in the Remarks box under that particular disease or disorder. This will help alleviate the possibility of USCIS rejecting the Form I-693 due to an erroneous assumption that a follow-up evaluation was needed before completion of the form.
