Adjustment of Status - I-485

Guys,
Every week, we have someone asking if they have to re-do their medical exam as it has been/will be a year since it was done. The answer is YES. Based on my lawyer, the IO will NOT approve the 485, if he/she does not have a valid 693 (less than 1 year). You must have seen cases where the IO asks for the 693 and the applicant has the i130 approved but not 485, until the paperwork is mailed and processed. That is exactly what the lawyer said as well. My sincere advice, if you can afford it, get a new test done if you're remotely close to the 1 year period. The IO may or may not approve your 458 for several reason, but even if everything is legit, will not approve without a valid 693. So its up to you guys. You can take the risk and hope the IO won't ask for it or he does ask for it and you lose 2-3 months to get your GC. One of my friend had similar issue. CT field office. She had a baby and was pregnant with her 2nd clid and married for 2 years at the time of interview. So IO had no issues approving her for a 10 year GC, but he couldn't as her 693 expired. Her interview was on July 13th, 2016 and even though she sent her new 693 within 2 weeks, her 485 is still pending. She did an info pass and was given told that it is in processing and expected to be approved within 30 days. So that is 3 months delay. I hope I made my point
