Question about Medicals Reminder
Hi All, I received a reminder notice from USCIS (Nebraska) to voluntarily submit I-693 medicals but not a RFE. In the letter, it says: "The sealed envelope must be returned, unopened, to this office with a copy of this letter” The notice came from: “U.S. Department of Homeland Security, PO Box 82521 Lincoln NE 68501-2521” This is the address on the top right part of the reminder letter. My question is: shall I send to this address, or replace “U.S. Department of Homeland Security” with “Nebraska Service Center”? (or something else?) Appreciate your feedback Thanks

@John, i think its is purely depending on attorney here. my attorney have 850 S st. Lincoln, NE address and not a p o box. i will overnight my medicals.

hmm.. I see. Is there a chance my attorney could be wrong? I don’t want to take risks with that

C UOct 12, 2021
i would say validate with them once. even though this is not rfe. i have been advised by my attorney to follow the proper rfe process and the address says Attn. AOS RFE as well.

not sure sending at two places will help or cause confusion. just a call i checked the uscis website and specially the i693 sending addresses. i couldn't find po box 82521 anywhere. and also when u send through fedex/ups it can't be a pobox, it has to be a street address. but take your call. i sent it to 850 s st. attn AOS RFE.

Yeah can’t send to 2 addresses as I have only 1 copy of the sealed enevlop including the filled I-693 form @C U: did you recieve any notification from USCIS that they received it?
C
C UOct 12, 2021
yeah, i overnighted and received today morning
C
C UOct 12, 2021
fedex
J
John SmithOct 12, 2021
thanks, C U. How do you know it was received? through Fedex tracking?
C
C UOct 12, 2021
yeah fedex tracking
J
John SmithOct 12, 2021
But if it’s a PO Box then my only option is USPS, correct? (and no similar tracking available in that case, correct?)
J
John SmithOct 12, 2021
@philo: were you able to recieve a similar confirmation that someone received it?
C
C UOct 12, 2021
yes, i see the name of person who signed it at delivery. i am not sure on usps. but don't think you can courier or overnight to a p o box.
J
John SmithOct 12, 2021
recorded how?
J
John SmithOct 12, 2021
Thanks!
C
C UOct 12, 2021
@philo - same question what do you mean by recorded.? you do ups fedex usps its recorded. what else recording mean. also you're saying your status was updated as soon as they received it. is it you case status got updated or you're referring to the tracking number. pls elaborate.
C
C UOct 12, 2021
ah ok. yes i have uscis account i haven't checked it yet will do it to see if they say medical received. my delivery was signed so hopefully i am good ☺️
C
C UOct 12, 2021
may be if you're responding to an RFE status will update quickly. may be not in our case because its not rfe. lets see, will check by eod.
J
John SmithOct 12, 2021
I found that there is an option to require signature when you are sending to a PO Box from USPS. Not sure if I should do it though, do you think it might delay the whole thing?
C
C UOct 12, 2021
@john - i think its very hard to comment keeping that as an assumption. i would say send it where your attorney is recommending and request signature and wait for acceptance. one way or the other uscis will get it shouldn't be a challenge.
J
John SmithOct 12, 2021
Thanks, C U. Attorney recommended not requiring signature so I’ll probably do that
C
C UOct 12, 2021
yeah 👍 make sense because its a p o box.

Whenever possible I would agree to the fact to keep some proof with us as their status update is not that reliable. In my case, I was given an option to drop the medicals in my FO directly and I did so. My online status is not updated for more than 2 weeks now. I do not have any proof that I have submitted. Fingers crossed! Trusting USCIS as I have no option otherwise. 😜
C
C UOct 14, 2021
@philo, @john - no update or status change online for the medical received till now.
C
C UOct 14, 2021
hope they update soon ☺️
J
John SmithOct 14, 2021
Do you guys have your I-140 approved?
C
C UOct 14, 2021
@philo - absolutely, wait and hope for the best is the way forward. @John - no i140 approval yet. filled concurrent just like your case. you're Feb mine is May.

@John, how are you? any update on your cases i140, i765 anything or medical you sent? also you checked the updated processing times from Nebraska seems like another few months of wait.
