ለግሪን ካርድ የሚያመለክቱ ስደተኞች ከማመልከታቸው በፊት በስልሳ ቀን ውስጥ የህክምና ምርመራ እና ክትባታቸውን እንዲያጠናቅቁ የሚያዘው ህግ ቀነ ገደብ ወደ ማርች 31  2023 ተዛውሯል።ከዚህ ቀደም ያደረጋችሁት ምርመራ እና የሞላችሁት ፎርም ተቀባይነት አለው ስለዚህ I-693 እንዲሁ ተቀባይነት አለው። U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is extending our temporary waiver of the requirement that civil surgeons must sign Form I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record, no more than 60 days before an individual applies for the underlying immigration benefit (including Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status). The waiver was originally effective until Sept. 30, 2022, but we have extended it to March 31, 2023, to further ease processing delays and associated difficulties in timely completing the immigration medical examination. This waiver applies to all Forms I-693 associated with applications for underlying immigration benefits that have not been adjudicated, regardless of when the application was submitted to USCIS or when a civil surgeon signed the Form I-693. This waiver will help applicants who have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and related processing delays, which have sometimes delayed immigration medical examinations. It also will help many applicants, including Afghan nationals evacuated under Operation Allies Welcome, who completed immigration medical examinations but could not apply for adjustment of status within 60 days of a civil surgeon signing their Form I-693.

When you apply to be admitted into the United States or become a lawful permanent resident, USCIS can deny your application if it determines that you are “likely to become a public charge”—meaning you depend primarily on the government to support yourself. The final rule sets out how USCIS will make this determination. The new rule will go into effect on December 23, 2022 and will apply to applications postmarked on or after that date. Until then, USCIS will continue to apply the 1999 Interim Field Guidance on public charge inadmissibility, as it has done since March 9, 2021. Why This Matters Under the new rule, USCIS formalizes an approach that allows it to follow the law, protect the country’s interests, and address the fear and confusion that previously led eligible non-citizens to disenroll from public benefits (even when they were not subject to the public charge ground). What USCIS Will Look At Under the final rule, USCIS will determine if you are likely to become a public charge based on the following: Your age, health, family status, financial status (including assets and resources), education, and skills; Whether a sponsor has submitted Form I-864, Affidavit of Support Under Section 213A of the INA, for you (when required); and Whether you have received or are receiving: Supplemental Security Income (SSI); Cash assistance for income maintenance under Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF); State, tribal, territorial, or local cash benefit programs for income maintenance (often called “General Assistance”); or Long-term institutionalization at government expense. What USCIS Will Not Look At Under the new rule, USCIS will NOT consider the following when making a public charge determination: Benefits received by your family members; Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or other nutrition programs benefits; Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) benefits; Medicaid (other than long-term institutionalization at government expense); Housing benefits; Any benefits related to immunizations or testing for communicable diseases; or Other supplemental or special-purpose benefits. Under U.S. immigration law, public charge inadmissibility does not affect or apply to some applicants. That means the new rule will not affect you if you are: Already a lawful permanent resident (in most cases); A refugee; An asylee; Applying for or re-registering for Temporary Protected Status; A special immigration juvenile; or Applying for or have T, U, or Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) status. For a full list of the categories of applicants exempted by Congress from the public charge ground of inadmissibility, see the final rule.
