On August 12, 2021, USCIS put out a policy alert that will temporarily extend the validity period of the medical exam (Form I-693) used for adjustment of status applications. Form I-693 will now be valid for 4 years instead of 2 due to the current backlogs from COVID-19. USCIS recommends filing the adjustment of status application together with the Form I-693 to avoid further processing delays. This temporary extension of the validity period is effective August 12, 2021 through September 30, 2021. To learn more check out uscis.gov
