TESTING/VACCINATION

whatever has not been done, we can take care of it here (except COVID and flu may be done at pharmacy)

​

FORMS

We have the latest I-693 form (electronic format, 14 page document, Edition 9 Mar 2023 expires 31 Jul 2025).  Upon completion of all tests and vaccinations, we will ask you to return for a follow-up visit to review and sign your form.  You will be given the completed form in a sealed envelope (do not open) for you to submit to USCIS.  You will also be given a copy of the form for your records.

​

TIMELINE

Submit I-693 together with I-485 to be expedited.  Although I-693 is valid for 2 years from the civil surgeon's signature date, the Edition of the form can retire prior to the expiration date on the form so waiting longer may trigger an additional Request For Evidence (RFE) having to re-do the form.  We recommend submitting the I-693 within 60 days of submitting I485 for smoothest processing.
