How long is I-693 form (filled by a doctor/civil surgeon in a sealed envelop) valid?

 

I am on F1 working under OPT, and I got married to a US citizen more than a year ago.

We have applied for AOS through a lawyer, and he submitted all documents except for I-693, saying I can just get the medical check done by the time of the AOS interview. 

 

A few days ago, we got a courtesy letter from USCIS saying I-693 is missing, and we need to bring it with us to the interview. 

I have not completed the medical checkup because I wasn't sure how soon the interview will take place. We have not even received an interview date notice. 

 

But I am thinking receiving this letter from USCIS means I might have the interview coming up soon? and I want to get done with the medical test and have the I-693 ready. 

HOWEVER, I am also worried that if I get the I-693 completed, and have it ready now, and say I won't get the interview date for half a year from now. Does that make my I-693 invalid? How long is it valid? 

 

I don't wanna do it too soon if it has expiration.

It valid for 1 year.

But you can check with the clinic if they have the service that can renew it for free if it expired.
