USCIS Publishes New Edition of Form I-693 (10/19/17 Edition)

In general, applicants applying for adjustment of status must submit a Form I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record, completed by a designated civil surgeon. This is to ensure that the applicant is not inadmissible on health related grounds found in section 212(a)(1) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.

On November 3, 2017, the USCIS announced that it had released a new edition of the Form I-693 dated 10/19/17. Beginning on January 2, 2018, the USCIS will only accept the 10/19/17 edition of the Form I-693, and will no longer accept the 02/07/17 edition or any prior editions of the Form I-693. The Form I-693, and all other USCIS forms, should be retrieved from the USCIS website.
