This policy change was announced recently and aims to provide clearer guidance for applicants regarding their medical examination documentation.
Key Details:
- The Form I-693 becomes invalid if the accompanying Form I-485 is withdrawn or denied.
- This update is effective immediately as per the latest USCIS policy manual revision.
