Applicants Must Submit I-693 Medical Examination Report with the I-485 Application

 

Today, USCIS announced that it now requires applicants filing Form I-485 (Application to Adjust Status) to submit Form I-693 (Report of Immigration Medical Examination and Vaccination Record) with their Form I-485.   The purpose is to reduce the number of Requests for Evidence (RFEs).  

USCIS is revising the form instructions to reflect this change.  Failure to submit the I-693 report may result in the rejection of the I-485.  

The policy regarding I-693 changes constantly. This announcement represents that latest policy of USCIS.
