How long for approval after sending in medicals after USCIS Courtesy Letter Request email?
USCIS is now sending emails, instead of issuing an RFE to submit medicals. How long after responding & sending in the i693 have you guys gotten approval/interview date?

@tammy keller @texas The email says this:
Courtesy Letter Request
An initial review of the evidence submitted for your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, determined that the evidence submitted was deficient for the following reasons.
A completed and signed I-693 was not submitted
If you already submitted a I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record or if you are a K-1 VISA holder, please disregard this notice, no further action is needed.
What You Need to Do
Submit a completed Form I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record. A USCIS civil surgeon must complete and sign the form, and you must also sign the form. If the civil surgeon refers you to a specialist, the specialist must include his or her medical exam results and complete the proper sections of the Form I-693 before the civil surgeon may sign the form. Once everyone has signed, the civil surgeon will place the completed Form I-693 in a sealed envelope and give it to you. You must submit the sealed envelope containing the original Form I-693 that the civil surgeon signed and the medical exam results; we will NOT accept photocopied Form I-693 and medical exam results.
Civil surgeons must use the current Edition of Form I-693. You can find the current edition of Form I-693 on USCIS’ website at www.uscis.gov. In addition, the civil surgeon must ensure that all parts of Form I-693 were properly completed.
Please Note: All Forms I-693 signed by civil surgeons on or after October 5, 2022, must use the 07/19/2022 edition of Form I-693. USCIS will not accept the 09/13/2021 version (or any previous editions) if the civil surgeon signed the Form I-693 after October 4, 2022. Therefore, the civil surgeon administering your immigration medical examination must complete and sign the 07/19/2022 edition of the Form I-693.
Reminder: Effective October 1, 2021, applicants subject to the immigration medical examination must complete the COVID-19 vaccine series before the civil surgeon can complete an immigration medical examination and sign Form I-693. This applies to Form I-693 signed by civil surgeon on or after October 1, 2021.
Please return the completed Form I-693 in an envelope sealed by the civil surgeon. Including a copy of this notice with your Form I-693 will facilitate matching the medical report with your file.
Important Warning: Only a designated civil surgeon authorized by USCIS to conduct medical examinations is qualified to complete the Form I-693. The civil surgeon must sign and date the Form I-693. Signatures by a nurse, physician’s assistant, or a doctor not designated as a civil surgeon are not acceptable. You must also sign and date the Form I-693 when instructed to do so by the civil surgeon. When appropriately completed and signed, the original Form I-693 must be sealed in a separate envelope by the civil surgeon. The sealed envelope must be returned, unopened, to this office with any other requested evidence.
A list of designated civil surgeons can be obtained by calling the USCIS Contact Center at 1-800-375-5283, or via the USCIS website at www.uscis.gov and using the MyUSCIS Find a Doctor tool at my.uscis.gov/findadoctor. You will need to provide your zip code or address. If you are hearing impaired, please call the USCIS Contact Center TDD at 1-800-767-1833.
Although processing times cannot be guaranteed, to complete your case as soon as possible, we strongly encourage you to submit your complete Form I-693 via express mail.

it's weird and complicated that they sent differently content each persons.
Nutella NutsApr 5, 2023
@Sinsupa 1 It appears that different field offices word it differently. When USCIS updated their processing times page, the Detroit center went down by about 2 months. So I have a feeling that approval is around the corner
Sinsupa 1Apr 5, 2023
I got courtesy notice too but they said it's not formal RFE request. just only courtesy notice.
xitlaly hdzApr 6, 2023
i got an email too. mine said to send it to las vegas nv even though I’m in McAllen tx. per usps they received it on march 20th but so far I haven’t gotten any updates
Nutella NutsApr 6, 2023
@xitlaly hdz please keep me updated! let me know when you get approval. Or make a post about it.
Nutella NutsApr 6, 2023
@tammy keller Did they email that to you, or is it under your documents section? I got a notice like that too shortly after filing my case. It is called a i693 deficiency notice
Nutella NutsApr 6, 2023
@tammy keller yes everyone gets those shortly after filing if they havent included i693. I got that too. Now months later I got a direct email from my field office asking to submit it

how do you know that your interview has been waived? I got this courtesy notice on March 31 and my attorney will send it next week to the Chicago field office. fingers crossed!!!
Nutella NutsApr 6, 2023
@tammy keller just got it in my email. Nothing online. The deficiency notice came online & in the mail about 2 weeks after my biometrics. The Courtesy Notice from my field office came 2 weeks ago in my email only
Nutella NutsApr 6, 2023
@N SJ i dont know if it is being waived. Im hoping so. Fingers crossed 🤞

N SJApr 20, 2023
I’ve seen people get approved within 30 days of sending their medical on Reddit so I hope it’s the same for all of us!! sent mine in last week
Guadalupe ArroyoApr 24, 2023

ya yaApr 29, 2023

Nutella NutsMay 6, 2023
@Guadalupe Arroyo @ya ya About a week after sending in medicals, we got an RFE for i130. Havent responded to it yet. Still waiting on friends to write sworn affidavits
Andy Vo-ClosserJun 8, 2023
@Nutella Nuts : I got the same email today but they sent it to my husband email (not my email). I would like to know what is your status now? did you do the same guidence in the letter? Please share your experience. thank you
Nutella NutsJun 10, 2023
@God Bless Cases I got an RFE on i130 for bonafide marriage evidence a week after sending in medicals. Still working on our response. They gave us 90 days to respond so we have been slacking and enjoying the warm weather. I have just over a month left to respond so we will start working on it next week
