In a previous article, “Form I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record”, we advised that if you are applying for a green card in the United States, you have to submit Form I-693, which is a medical exam and vaccination record completed by a specific doctor known as a civil surgeon. This form shows that you are not inadmissible to the United States based on health reasons.
Effective Jan. 22, 2025, USCIS is waiving any and all requirements that applicants for adjustment of status to that of a lawful permanent resident (green card) present documentation on their Form I-693 that they received the COVID-19 vaccination. Pursuant to the foregoing announcement, USCIS will not issue any Request for Evidence or Notice of Intent to Deny related to proving a COVID-19 vaccination and/or deny any adjustment of status application based on the applicant’s failure to present documentation that they received the COVID-19 vaccination.
