USCIS Updates FY2022 Employment-Based Adjustment of Status FAQs

USCIS updated its FAQs on FY2022 employment-based adjustment of status applications and its efforts to use as many available visas as possible by 9/30/22.

Please make sure to review this USCIS note:

If your underlying petition is approved and a visa is available to you, but you know that your previously filed Form I-485 does not have a valid Form I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record, we recommend you visit a civil surgeon and have a valid Form I-693 on hand when we send the request to you. This is particularly important if you recently received a notice that your application was transferred from a USCIS service center to a USCIS field office and you know your application does not have a valid Form I-693. If you are a noncitizen with pending adjustment of status applications, do not send an unsolicited Form I-693 to us, as explained in detail below. The “60-day rule”, which has been temporarily waived, does not apply to Forms I-693 signed by the civil surgeon after you have filed Form I-485.
