I-693 News and Updates

Last Updated on September 12th 2025

Updated Sep 12th – 2pm eastern: MedFiller I-693 has been updated
Updated Sep 10th: I-693 PDF updated by USCIS

USCIS has published a new PDF for the I-693 with an updated OMB expiration date. Our team is currently working on updating the form (PDF) in MedFiller. We  will update this page when the new PDF file with the updated expiry date is available in MedFiller. 

There is currently no guidance available on the USCIS website whether the USCIS will accept the same “version” of the form (PDF) with the expired OMB approval date. Civil surgeons should consider downloading the latest version directly from USCIS website (please refresh your browser cache as the forms look very similar, the only major difference being the date on the top right) and processing file on paper until the form is updated in MedFiller,

Jul 7th 2025: Waiting for the new I-693

Our team is on the lookout for the new form. We will post another note when the form is available and we begin to update MedFiller.

Jun 4th 2025 Update: I-693 Updated to Version 01/20/25 in MedFiller

There were minimal changes, and our team was able to update the form ahead of schedule. Please note that this new form itself has a very short OMB expiry, and USCIS may revise it once again in the near future.

Jun 2nd 2025 Update: New I-693 Published. MedFiller update coming soon

Summary: USCIS has allowed a grace period till July 2, 2025, during which the ‘old forms’ can still be used.

The MedFiller team anticipates integrating the new I-693 form into MedFiller within the next 5-7 business days.

Until the update, examiners who wish to use the new form will have to manually copy the data from the MedFiller-produced forms to the new I-693. Please also note that the new form, downloadable today, has an expiry date of 06/30/2025. Therefore, it is likely that the new form will be updated again.

 
May 25th 2025 Update: I-693 OMB Approval Expiry

Summary: No impact until the updated I-693 form is released. The ‘expired form’ remains valid as of this post (May 25th, 2025).

Many users have noticed that the expiry date on the top right of the I-693 has passed, and no new form version has been released. This post addresses the questions many of you have asked.

What is the OMB expiry?
The Paperwork Reduction Act mandates that all federal government agencies receive approval from OMB (Office of Management and Budget) for forms that collect information from the general public. This approval ensures that the burden of paperwork (completing, processing, handling, and storage) is minimized in the best interest of every party involved. 
 
The multi-agency form approval process can often take longer than anticipated, and the listed approval expiration date generally does not invalidate the form. It is normal for agencies, including the USCIS, to publish “updated forms” well after the OMB expiration date and continue using the previously approved forms.
 
What happens to the old forms when the new forms come out?
Like most agencies, the USCIS has historically allowed a 6-12 week grace period after the new form is released for switching over. Older forms have remained valid during the grace period to allow for completion of already started forms, referrals, tests, mail,  processing delays, etc. We do not anticipate any significant issues or deviations from the above grace period allowance this time.
 
When will the form be updated in MedFiller? Do you know if there are going to be any major changes?
MedFiller will update the form during the grace period (between the new version release and the cut-off date). Like you, we do not have advanced access to the new form and cannot prepare beforehand. However, we are monitoring the approval process and don’t anticipate significant changes to the form.
 
Once released, how long will it take MedFiller to update the form?

In the past, updating MedFiller has taken us 7-10 business days, and we hope to do the same this time. 

What if there is no grace period this time for switching over?
In the highly unlikely situation where the USCIS immediately invalidates all previous forms the very moment the new form is released, you may have to complete forms manually for a few days. MedFiller will place warnings inside the software to inform you of this situation and expedite the update process to the maximum degree possible.
