The Jul 23 2003 Memorandum issued by William Yates, Acting Associate
Director for Operation of USCIS extended the Validity of Medical
Certification until adjustment of status application could be adjudicated.
This policy is effective until January 1, 2004.
What will happen to the policy after then?
Happy New Year!

01/16/2004: Validity of Medical Exam Report for I-485 Filers

As part of I-485 filing, the applicants are required to file a sealed immigration-designated civil surgeons' medical exam report to the USCIS. The medical report is supposed to be valid only for 12 months. However, as affected by the delays in adjudication of I-485, the former INS adopted a policy to extend the validity indefinitely until I-485 was adjudicated. It was released in the form of Memorandum. The Memorandum expired this month. Considering the continuing backlog of I-485 petitions, the U.S. CIS has issued another memorandum to extend the policy for another
year and until January 1, 2005, according to the AILA. Accordingly, those who have filed I-485 more than 12 months back do not have to worry about taking another medical exam and filing a new report at least until January 1, 2005.


They also consider a multi-year EAD and they have a new AP. What they are not considering is GCs!

When to get medicals done?

At what point do we need to get the medicals done? Do we need it immediately after I485 is filed? Or can we wait for 2 years or so, after filing I485, before we get medicals done, as the approval would actualy take that kind of timeframe.
Please let me know the advantages for getting it done earlier/ downsides of getting it done later.

Regards,
