Question about i693 validity?

[CNC2019 0]

Hi, and thank you in advance.

 

I submitted my i485 adjustment  of status on March 25 2019 without form i693. I only received a courtesy letter from USCIS, and no RFE about my i693. On July 17 2019 i decided to get my i693 done. My interview has now been scheduled on October 2019. I will bring my medical result in the interview. Is my i693 still valid for my interview date? I was just confused with the updated validity date. Because it says its only valid for 60 days after the civil surgeon's signature?

Yes, its valid one year since the day you complete the form.

Hi @Janiris, thank you for your response. So my i693 is still valid 90 days after the civil surgeon's signature? Even if it was not submitted to USCIS after 60 days?

My understanding is that the civil surgeon has to have signed it no more than 60 days prior to it being submitted (whether that be with the initial filing, in response to RFE, or taken to interview). Once filed it is valid for two years.

 

You might call USCIS and ask them to confirm, but I believe that is the rule now. 

 

Edit: I just reread their rules and as long as it was signed AFTER you filed I-485 then you should be fine. The rule is no more than 60 days prior to filing the underlying application, which in this case would be the I-485.
