USCIS Temporarily Waiving 60-Day Rule for Civil Surgeon Signatures.<\/p>\n
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is\u00a0temporarily\u00a0waiving the requirement that the civil surgeon sign Form I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record, no more than 60 days before an applicant files\u00a0an application for the underlying immigration benefit (including\u00a0Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status), until Sept. 30, 2022.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
This temporary waiver will help applicants who have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and related processing delays, which have\u00a0sometimes caused delays in completing the immigration medical examination. Temporarily allowing applicants to submit their underlying application for an immigration benefit with a completed Form I-693, even if the civil surgeon signed more than 60 days prior, will allow individuals to complete the application process without the need to undergo another immigration medical\u00a0examination\u00a0if\u00a0Form I-693\u00a0is\u00a0otherwise valid.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
The temporary waiver will\u00a0benefit\u00a0many applicants, including Afghan nationals evacuated under Operation Allies Welcome who have completed immigration medical examinations at government-run facilities but\u00a0were not able to apply for adjustment of status within 60 days of the completed examination.\u00a0<\/p>\n
