I-693 medical exam form changes go into effect May 1, 2008, in conjunction with CDC’s exam changes. The previous form edition will be accepted as long as the civil surgeon/health department’s signature is dated before May 1, 2008. An additional grace period of 30 days is currently under review which would expand the date the old form would be accepted until June 1st, 2008. After that time if any old editions of the form are submitted to USCIS, then the Agency would send a request for evidence to the applicant for the correct version of the I-693.
