Yes, I will be filling when my CN is current after October 2022 (up to to September 2023), but my question was if my medical examination will still be valid for that time since I already got it yesterday ?

You need to use your discretion in figuring out where you lived vs where you stayed for at temporarily or visited.

Well, no one can predict now if the medical exam conducted this year will remain valid as at when your CN becomes current and you become eligible to file. Instructions can and do change over time. So you’ll have to wait and see.

Actually ignore my previous response re no one can predict the medical exam validity. Your medical exam will not be valid, you will need to redo it when you become eligible to file. The temporary waiver which makes medical exam valid for two years is only effective until September 30th, 2022. USCIS will revert back to the requirement for the Civil Surgeon’s signature on the medical report to not be older than 60 days as at the time of filing for AOS from Oct. 1st 2022
“Effective December 9, 2021, USCIS is temporarily waiving the requirement that the civil surgeon sign the Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record (Form I-693) no more than 60 days before the date the applicant files an Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status (Form I-485). It is still in the best interest of applicants to undergo the immigration medical examination close to the time of filing the Form I-485, as the Form I-693 only retains its evidentiary value for 2 years from the date of the civil surgeon’s signature. After the 2-year timeframe, the applicant would need to submit a new Form I-693 if USCIS has not adjudicated the Form I-485. This temporary waiver is effective until September 30, 2022.”

Ho I see! Then I won’t really considered the placed I visited and stayed for about 1 or 2 nights as places where I actually lived right ?
Now I am starting to wonder if I should consider places where I stayed for about a 1 month or so while visiting somewhere as a living places !? Any advice ?

Again, you really need to be able to use your discretion on this, key word being “visiting”.

Coming back to this question based on some recent reports about the replacement SSN card on the DV2022 thread. Folks who already have their SSN prior to the AOS application are reporting being issued with the same SSN card with the DHS restrictions on it. So it makes sense to just answer NO to this question in that case. You can always visit the SSA office after receiving your GC to apply for a replacement card without the DHS restrictions written on it.
One more query:
If my number gets current around Jan, when should I start preparing the affidavit of support as it will require pay stubs too ? would it be too early to get them now ? I am on F1, and my parents (not in US) pay for my fees and expenses so would it be okay to include the bank balance statement of my parents bank account in the AOS package ?

Hi all,
By mistake I already have my medical examination done. But checking the last year CN, my CN it may be "current" in January 2023. I am wondering if my medical results will be still valid when I will be filing my case in January 2023? or do I have to make a new one ?
Best,
Alex

Please use your discretion on this.

1. Supporting financial documents should be as current as possible to the time of filing.
2. IMO, you're better off relying on the financial documents of a US based person in place of your parents' bank statements from your home country.

Hi Mom, I have applied for SSN today for my L2S status , while filing DS260, I have mentioned, I don't have SSN and require one. while my husband who is on L1 mentioned that he is having SSN and my not require a new one. Do we need to change anything as of today.

No you do not need to change anything on the DS260 - no big deal. Whatever you have selected on the DS260 will have no bearing on the AOS application.

Hello, the I-485 AOS document currently available in the USCIS website expires on March 31st, 2023.
Do you think that people with high CN that may become current after March 31st, 2023 should wait to fill out a new I-485 available that won’t be expired by the date they send their AOS package ?

I think everyone applying for AOS should ensure they download and use whichever most recent I-485 (and other applicable) forms available from the USCIS website as at the time they will be sending in their AOS package.
