Immigration Medical Form I-693 Validity Period Changes
On June 11, 2025, USCIS updated its policy on the validity of Form I-693, Report of Immigration Medical Examination and Vaccination Record, for forms signed on or after November 1, 2023. The new policy clarifies that such forms are only valid while the associated application is pending. If the application is withdrawn or denied, the form becomes invalid. This change applies to all applications filed on or after June 11, 2025.
If an applicant submits Form I-693 with Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, and the I-485 is withdrawn or denied, the I-693 is no longer valid. If the applicant re-applies with a new I-485, a new Form I-693 signed by a civil surgeon will be required. USCIS had previously announced that a properly completed I-693 signed on or after November 1, 2023, would be valid indefinitely. This previous policy has been rescinded.
This updated policy is effective immediately and applies to all pending or newly filed applications from June 11, 2025, onward. It is important to note that, despite the new policy, the I-693 report will continue to be valid during the pendency of the original I-485 application.
Note: The requirement published on Dec. 2, 2024 that applicants must submit Form I-693 together with the Form I-485 remains valid.
