Modified Medical Examination Form I-693 Goes Into Effect

The USCIS has announced that it has revised Form I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record, to reflect changes to the Tuberculosis guidance by the Center for Disease and Control to Civil Surgeons.  The new form (edition date 04/02/08) must be used for all medical examinations completed on or after May 1, 2008.

Form I-693 is used by applicants filing for adjustment of status to become permanent residents.  Civil surgeons performing medical examination in connection with adjustment of status must use the new form for all examinations completed in the future.  According to USCIS, not all civil surgeons have provided accurate email or contact information and it is possible that some civil surgeons are not aware of the new form.  Therefore, we recommend that applicants for adjustment of status inform their civil surgeons of the new form and present at least one copy of the new form to them.
