USCIS Temporarily Extending Validity Period of Form I-693

Quote

 

Beginning Aug. 12, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is temporarily extending the validity period for Form I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record, from two years to now four years due to COVID-19-related delays in processing.

USCIS may consider a completed Form I-693 as valid if: 

• The civil surgeon’s signature is dated no more than 60 days before the applicant filed Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status;
• No more than four years have passed since the date of the civil surgeon’s signature; and
• A decision on the applicant’s Form I-485 is issued on or before Sept. 30, 2021.

 

 

Notice that this applies ONLY for those AOS applications adjudicated before Sept. 30, 2021.

In other words, if your processing has been delayed until this month because of COVID, you won't receive an RFE for a medical signed within the last four years.
