이민국 신체검사 유효기간 없어졌다!

발표날짜: 2024.04.04

 

이민국 (USCIS)은 지난 4월4일 연방 질병통제예방센터 (CDC)와의 협의하에 이민국 신체검사 (I-693)의 유효기간을 없애기로 했다고 발표했다.

 

2023년 11월 1일 또는 그 이후 적절하게 의사 서명이 된 신체검사서 I-693은 만료되지 않고 무기한 유효성 (Validity)을 인정받는다.

 

단, 이민국 심사관 (USCIS Officers)은 재량에 따라 의사서명 이후 신청자의 건강상태가 변경됐다고 판단되거나 이미 제출한 신체검사서가 신청자의 건강상태를 정확하게 반영하지 않았다고 판단되었을 때는 새로운 신체검사서, 업데이트된 신체검사서 등을 추가로 요청할 수 있다고 밝혔다.

 

기존 규정에서 신체검사서 (I-693)는 의사서명 이후 2년간 유효했었다.

USCIS Announces New Guidance on Form I-693 Validity Period
Release Date: 04/04/2024

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services today announced (PDF, 317.28 KB) that any Form I-693, Report of Immigration Medical Examination and Vaccination Record, that was properly completed and signed by a civil surgeon on or after Nov. 1, 2023, does not expire and can be used indefinitely as evidence to show that the applicant is not inadmissible on health-related grounds.

In consultation with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and based on advances in public health electronic notification, USCIS has determined that a Form I-693’s evidentiary value should no longer be limited to a certain period if it is properly completed and was signed by a civil surgeon on or after Nov. 1, 2023. USCIS officers have discretion to request more evidence or a new or updated Form I-693 if they have reason to believe the applicant’s medical condition has changed since the civil surgeon signed the Form I-693, or that the Form I-693 submitted does not accurately reflect the applicant’s medical condition and the applicant may be inadmissible on health-related grounds.

If an applicant’s immigration medical examinations were completed before Nov. 1, 2023, the prior policy still applies. Before Nov. 1, 2023, civil surgeons did not need to share or report certain information to the CDC electronically. USCIS has consulted with the CDC and determined that a properly completed Form I-693 signed by a civil surgeon before Nov. 1, 2023, continues to retain evidentiary value for two years from the date of the civil surgeon’s signature.  This does not apply to Forms I-693 filed by Operation Allies Welcome parolees. Their Forms I-693 retain their evidentiary value for three years from the date of the civil surgeon signature, through policy and in consultation with CDC. For more information see the USCIS Policy Manual, Volume 8, Part B, Chapter 4.
