It was recently brought up on a different thread that the I-693 has had it's expiration extended from 6mo to 2yr.

For medicals received prior to an interview, I'm assuming the visa will be issued with an expiration for 6 months from the interview date.  I don't believe it has changed for medicals received after the interview.

Is this applicable to visas? You are referencing a USCIS policy.   The policy update letter you referenced does not mention 6 months or visas.

I dunno...I suppose I'm looking for clarity here.  A quick google search shows immigration lawyers are saying there is no longer an expiration date.
