❌ EB-3 I-485 Denied Before RFE Deadline - Case Denied 6 Days After Corrected Medical Submitted

❌ **Case Status: Denied** --- An I-485 applicant received a denial on June 30, 2026, just six days after submitting a corrected medical form in response to a second RFE, despite the response deadline being September 1, 2026. The original issue was an incomplete civil surgeon medical form missing the Class B condition description. The denial affected the entire family unit. An I-485 applicant attended their interview on March 30, 2026, where the officer indicated the case was ready to approve pending one issue: the civil surgeon had marked a 'Class B condition' on the medical form without specifying the actual condition. An RFE was issued April 2 with a June 25 deadline. The applicant responded promptly on April 6, with USCIS receiving the corrected form April 7. Despite confirmation from a senator's office on April 28 that USCIS had received the response, no action was taken for two months. On June 9, a second RFE was issued — an exact duplicate of the first — with a new deadline of September 1, 2026. The applicant obtained a completely new medical exam from a new civil surgeon and submitted it June 24, confirmed received. On June 30, six days before the new RFE deadline and well before September 1, the I-485 was denied for the applicant and all family members. The attorney advised waiting for the formal denial letter before filing a Motion to Reopen (MTR). Questions remain about the immediate impact on EAD/AP status. --- **[📎 View Original Post](https://www.reddit.com/r/USCIS/comments/1uk8nqu/i485_denied_6_days_after_i_sent_corrected_medical/)** *Source: Reddit I-485 EB* --- *This post was automatically curated from online sources to share real case experiences with the community.*
