On September 29, USCIS announced that it was extending the temporary waiver for the 60-day civil surgeon requirement. The policy requires that civil surgeons sign Form I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record, less than 60 days prior to application of a benefit. A waiver was implemented during the COVID pandemic, and USCIS extended the temporary waiver until March 31, 2023, to ease processing delays.
