60-Day Signing Window of Immigration Medical Report Eliminated

 

Doctors no longer have to sign the immigration medical exam report (Form I-693) within 60 days before the related immigration application is filed, according to a new USCIS policy update issued today.  Previously, USCIS required that civil surgeons sign Form I-693 no more than 60 days before the related immigration application or petition is submitted to USCIS. This requirement is eliminated for operational efficiencies and reduction of RFE issuance.
