There are several different ways for immigrants to get a green card. A new incentive for some people applying for permanent residency was recently announced by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
According to the revised requirements, certain Afghan nationals who entered the country during Operation Allies Welcome (OAW) will have their immigration medical examination records valid for an unlimited period of time. This implies that when they apply for their green card, they won’t need to retake the immigration medical exam.
Why has USCIS made this Green Card update?
USCIS made this modification as part of an update to the Policy Manual standards. Any Form I-485, which is used to register permanent residence or modify status, is already subject to the update, which is in force indefinitely. All forms submitted or pending on or after November 13, 2024, are covered by this.
Eligibility Requirements for Afghan Migrants:
Before they are eligible for some immigration benefits, Afghan migrants must pass a thorough immigration exam in the United States. Form I-693, which contains the immigration medical examination and the immunization record, is where this examination must be recorded. This rule was 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 immigrant visa are required to have a medical checkup, according to the official CDC website. All refugees entering the nation are subject to this. The Department of State (DOS) selects the panel physicians who conduct these exams.
You must follow this procedure with the IRS in order to receive your tax refund before anybody else does.
