US Immigration from Ireland

Submit a completed Form I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record. The medical that you submitted to the consulate was signed by the physician more then 1 year from when you submitted form I-485, therefore you must submit form I-693. A USCIS civil surgeon must complete and sign the form, and you must also sign the form. If the civil surgeon refers you to a specialist, the specialist must include his or her medical exam results and complete the proper sections of the Form I-693 before the civil surgeon may sign the form. Once everyone has signed, the civil surgeon will place the completed Form I-693 in a sealed envelope and give it to you. You must submit the sealed envelope containing the original Form I-693 that the civil surgeon signed and the medical exam results; we will NOT accept photocopied Form I-693 and medical exam results.

Civil surgeons must use the current Edition of Form I-693. You can find the current edition of Form I-693 on USCIS s website at www.uscis.gov. In addition, the civil surgeon must ensure that all parts of Form I-693 were properly completed.

Please Note: All Forms I-693 signed by civil surgeons on or after October 5, 2022 must use the 07/19/2022 edition of Form I-693. USCIS will not accept the 09/13/2021 version (or any previous editions) if the civil surgeon signed the Form I-693 after October 4, 2022. Therefore, the civil surgeon administering your immigration medical examination must complete and sign the 07/19/2022 edition of the Form I-693.

I was surprised to receive this note for the following reasons:

1. My physician signed the I-693 on 6/29/21 and I submitted form I-485 on 12/21/21, only 6 months after and not more than 1 year later as stated in the RFE

2. In addition, the USCIS website states that I-693 is valid for 2 years, from the website: We generally consider a completed Form I-693 to remain valid for two years after the date the civil surgeon signed Form I-693 (https://www.uscis.gov/i-693)

3. Moreover, the same website states: From Dec. 9, 2021 until Mar. 31, 2023, we are temporarily waiving the requirement that the civil surgeon s signature be dated no more than 60 days before you file Form I-485.

Should I still book another appointment for I-693 or talk to a lawyer? I feel overwhelmed by this never-ending process and would appreciate your thoughts on this.

Thank you.
