USCIS NEWS!1!
We now offer online filing of Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, for certain employment-based applicants and their representatives. We are in the process of developing the online filing capability for other applicant types.
When you file Form I-485, you must also submit Form I-693, Report of Immigration Medical Examination and Vaccination Record. A civil surgeon is responsible for providing you with a completed Form I-693 that is signed and placed in a sealed envelope. If you file Form I-485 online, you must open the sealed envelope from the civil surgeon and upload the completed Form I-693 with your application package. You must keep the original Form I-693 and the envelope from the civil surgeon until we make a final decision on your Form I-485. We may review the original Form I-693 and envelope during an interview or ask you to submit the original Form I-693 and envelope as evidence to support your application.
If you file Form I-485 by mail, there are no changes to the Form I-693 submission process. You must submit Form I-693 with your Form I-485 application package, in the original sealed envelope provided by the civil surgeon.
Use this form to apply for lawful permanent resident status if you are in the United States.
