Application fee and RPRF are the 2 fee which an applicant have to pay. Application fee is paid at the time of filing application, and the RPRF is at the time of issuance of visa. I feel you are talking about RPRF. I have never heard RPRF( landing fee) requested before medicals. Have you added any new member to your application?

thank you so much for your reply
and yes it is Right of Permanent Residence Fee RPRF ... I would like to mention that the visa office also requsted new photos, my immigrent lawyer told me maybe these new photos for meds because last photos I took was 3 years ago and my kids where babies then so they will need new photos for them to print on the medical application ... does this add up ??

I think VO has issued medical along with RPRF. RPRF alone does not make sense.

Dear Baghdad,

The same case with me. My Application was submitted in late 2009. Then they started processing in Feb 2012. Then they sent me letter for new Police Certificate, my daughter's updated photo, my travel history along with RPRF. I submitted all this along with RPRF. Then they sent us the medical for my family.

The only difference is that in your case, they didn't ask for RPRF with other documents however in my case they asked with it.

So go ahead, pay the fee and wait for medical
