USCIS Now Requires Certain Adjustment Of Status Applicants To Submit Medical Examination With Their Form I-485 Application

Effectively immediately, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) will require certain applicants filing a Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status to submit a Form I-693, Report of Immigration Medical Examination and Vaccination Record with their Form I-485 Application.

Applicants who are adjusting status within the United States are generally required to undergo a medical examination by a civil surgeon to show that they do not have any health conditions which would render them ineligible to immigrate.

The USCIS has started this new policy change to reduce the number of Requests for Evidence that the agency issues before approving an applicant’s adjustment of status.

The EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022 (“RIA”) requires Regional Centers to file annual statements with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”). The statements cover a range of matters, from the use of EB-5 investment funds to the status of projects sponsored by the Regional Center. Regional Center Annual Statements A Regional Center’s annual statement must include certifications that it has complied with certain requirements under the RIA. It must also disclose any material litigation or bankruptcy proceedings involving the Regional Center, a New Commercial Enterprise (“NCE”), or an affiliated Job-Creating Entity (“JCE”). Much of the annual statement concerns the investments themselves. Regional Centers must account for investor capital, explain how that money has been used, and provide evidence of progress on each investment project (“Project”).

What Is a Request for Evidence from USCIS and What Should You Do?

Receiving a Request for Evidence (“RFE”) from United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) can be unsettling, especially when you have already spent months or even years preparing and waiting for case results. However, an RFE does not automatically mean USCIS plans to deny your application or petition. Instead, USCIS is asking for more information before it makes a decision. What matters next is understanding exactly what the RFE notice says and providing a complete response by the deadline. If you receive an RFE and are unsure what to do, take the notice seriously but do not assume the worst. At Enterline and Partners, our experienced U.S. immigration attorneys can review the request, identify what USCIS is looking for and help you prepare a response that addresses the issues raised.
