Employment-Based Visa Green Card
Applicants are Encouraged to Respond to
Requests for Evidence as Soon as Possible
If you received a Request for Evidence (RFE) to submit your Form I-693, Report of Immigration Medical Examination and Vaccination Record to USCIS, please respond to the RFE as soon as possible rather than waiting the entire 87-day response period.
Background
We have issued RFEs to applicants for employment-based adjustment of status (including those adjusting as Special Immigrant Juveniles). These RFEs ask for a valid medical clearance (Form I-693). Although you have up to 87 days to respond to the RFE, we encourage you to respond with all requested documents as soon as possible so that we may adjudicate your application and, if your case is approved, allocate an immigrant visa before Oct. 1, 2023.
Visa allocations for fiscal year 2023 end Sept. 30, 2023. If your visa is not allocated before the cutoff date, we cannot adjudicate your case, and your case will be reviewed per the FY 2024 visa allocations.
You may return your completed RFE response to the address on the RFE notice.
USCIS accepts responses sent by mail (including overnight and other priority options), commercial services, and courier.
If you have already responded to an RFE, there is nothing more you need to do.
