Form 693 Question

[cariger8989 14]

Hello,

 

I have a question about the validity of Form i693. I am aware that the validity of the form is 2 years from the day the physician signed it. But the special instruction on USCIS website says

 

"To ensure your medical examination results are still valid when we adjudicate your associated benefit application, you should schedule the medical examination as close as possible to the time you file for adjustment of status, respond to a Request for Evidence, or attend an interview (if applicable). NOTE: The Form I-693 must be dated no earlier than 60 days before you filed your underlying application"

 

My situation is I have all the documents ready and prepared to file tomorrow. But I just heard from my doctor that I need a second vaccination in 28 days and I will get the signed form only after that. Now I dont really want to wait another month for filing. Can i go ahead and file the 485 and wait for an RFE to submit the 693? In this case, my filing 485 filing date will be 30th july 2020 but the RFE date might very well after 6 months.

 

Will my 693 (signed by Physician on August)  be still valid after 6 months at the time of my RFE response?

file i-485 without I-693 and than get the i-693 signed by the DOC when you get RFE or at interview.

Thats what I am planning to do. I will just have to check with my doctor if he can postpone signing the form until I get a RFE or interview.

I have completed all the labs already.
