For migrants, there are several ways to obtain a green card. A new incentive has been introduced by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for some individuals who are applying for permanent status.
Due to a change in USCIS policy, some Afghan nationals who arrived during Operation Allies Welcome (OAW) might now benefit from an indefinite validity period for their immigration medical examination results. This means that when they apply for their green card, they won’t have to retake the immigration medical exam.
Why has USCIS made this Green Card update?
This modification was brought about by a recent amendment to the Policy Manual requirements by USCIS. The revised FormI-485, which is used to change status or register permanent residence, is now permanently in effect. All forms submitted or pending on or after November 13, 2024, are covered by this.
Eligibility Requirements for Afghan Migrants:
Afghans who apply for immigration benefits in the US are subject to a rigorous scrutiny. Use Form I-693, which contains the immigration medical exam and immunization record, to record this examination. These criteria were established by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
USCIS Offers Significant Support for Afghans
Afghan migrants might profit greatly from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
Purpose of Medical Examinations for immigrants in the United States
All foreign nationals applying for an immigration visa are required to have a medical checkup, according to the official CDC website. All refugees entering the nation are subject to this. Panel physicians are chosen by the Department of State (DOS) to conduct these tests.
