i did not file my i-693 along with the i-485 package and it's just fine..i did not get any rfe for that..when i got my checklist for the interview, it says i should instead just bring it on the day of the interview along with the other documents they're asking for...

I think it is a good IDEA to send in the I-693 w/the package. Unless you are not getting a doctor's appointment, you must submit it. I did that and I brought a copy of it w/me to the interview just this past monday.

my personal opinion is to submit exactly the way they ask for so that you fulfill their requirements...

good luck

Thanks a lot.Sa2006.
did you file at the Vermont service center? I heard the rules differ by region?

I sent mine to Chicago, then it went to Missouri. I am not sure if Vermont would be different. Again, in the interview notice, it says "bring I-693 unless already submitted"... if you submit it, and bring a copy later, it's just good preparation.
