USCIS Now Requires Certain Adjustment Of Status Applicants To Submit Medical Examination With Their Form I-485 Application

Effectively immediately, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) will require certain applicants filing a Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status to submit a Form I-693, Report of Immigration Medical Examination and Vaccination Record with their Form I-485 Application.

Applicants who are adjusting status within the United States are generally required to undergo a medical examination by a civil surgeon to show that they do not have any health conditions which would render them ineligible to immigrate.

The USCIS has started this new policy change to reduce the number of Requests for Evidence that the agency issues before approving an applicant’s adjustment of status.
