Immigration Medical Report 60-Day Waiver Extended

 



All U.S. green card applicants must provide a properly completed Form I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record, signed and sealed by an authorized doctor.  The regulation requires that the report must be submitted to USCIS within 60 days of the doctor's signature.  Due to COVID-19 and USCIS intention to ease case processing delays, the 60-day rule was waived temporarily until 09/30/2022.  Today, USCIS announced that the waiver will be extended to March 31, 2023.  It means that, from now until March 31, 2023, applicants may submit medical reports with a doctor's signature older than 60 days.  All other requirements must still be met.
