additional evidence to process your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or
Adjust Status, filed on August 22, 2022 under section 245 of the Immigration and Nationality Act
(INA) based on being the beneficiary of a family-based immigrant petition. Please read this letter
carefully, follow all of the instructions, and provide the requested evidence and information in order
for us to make a final decision on your case. Include duplicate copies if you are requesting consular
notification.
What You Need to Do
You must provide the following information in order for us to make a final decision on your case:
Submit a completed Form I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record. 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.
