Narrative:
We were on a 160 degree assigned heading talking to approach control being vectored for an ILS at oak. ATC issued VFR traffic at 10;500 ft approaching us. We did not see him; but he reported seeing us. When he was three miles away (head on) he began climbing toward us. The TA turned into an RA and I told ATC that we were climbing to avoid him. ATC said he had us in sight; but I said I did not care I was climbing because it was unsafe. At that moment I saw him approaching us two hundred feet off our right wing and approximately fifty feet below us. He passed and I told ATC that we were done with the RA.
