denial of i-485

[virginie]

Hi

My AOS (marriage based) was denied because the USCIS local office did not receive my medical records -I don't have proof of sending them since I used regular mail. I requested a motion to reopen my case and sent a copy of the medical records.
Has anyone gone through a motion to reopen? How long does it take?
Do you think providing the copy of the documents instead of a proof that I sent the document will be enough?

Thanks!

aren't u suppose to take with u to the interview?

What service center, did u go for interview? and where u given any time limit?

I always include the sealed medical records with the I-485. Did you send the seperately?

i thought you didnt have to do the medical examination again for a marriage based permanent residence??? i was told as long as i did the medical exam while i was applying for the visa, i'm good. i thought a copy of the vaccination record is enough???

I did not have time between my notification of interview and the interview itself to make an appt to see a doctor. I had to send the medical records within 30 days of the interview.
And I thought as well that I did not have to get re-checked since I had a medical exam for my K1, but indeed you DO need to get checked twice -once in your country and once here.

Any advice on the appeal / motion to reopen my case ??

Oh, and I had the interview in Santa Ana, California.
Interview Aug 26
Medical exam Aug 29 -i sent it around Sept 5
Notification of denial nov 22 -2 months after the 30 days delay!
