The sealed medical examination report which people submit as part of the I-485 applications is supposed to be valid only for one year. However, due to the delay of I-485 processing for the past several years, the USCIS has been extending such medical report annually by releasing their policy decision. The medical report which was issued before January 1, 2005 or earlier was supposed to expire on January 1, 2006 unless the USCIS makes such extension decision. Now all of the medical reports for the pending I-485 cases will be automatically extended until January 1, 2007. Consequently, these people do not have to retake the medical examination. The extension policy does not apply to the Class A or Class B certification by the USCIS designated civil surgeons.
