New Medical Policy!! Hurray!!!
Hey guys, as you saw from the the previous post from our fellow member Sleem as of NOVEMBER 1st 2018 - USCIS extends the validity of the medical exam - FORM I-693 to 2 years. But that's only for the application that was filed after November 1st. By the way those who will file after Nov 1, 2018 now have to do medicals within 60 days before application is filed or after it's been filed otherwise it won't be valid.
Here is the information for those whose application was filed before November 1st, 2018. (taken from USCIS website)
A completed Form I-693 submitted to USCIS before November 1, 2018 retains its evidentiary value to support a finding that an applicant is not inadmissible based on health-related grounds if it meets any of the following scenarios:
•The civil surgeon signs Form I-693 more than 60 days before the applicant files the underlying benefit application with USCIS, but the applicant submits Form I-693 to USCIS no more than 1 year after the civil surgeon signed Form I-693; and USCIS issues a decision on the underlying benefit application no more than 1 year after the date the applicant submitted Form I-693 to USCIS.
•The civil surgeon signs Form I-693 no more than 60 days before the applicant files the underlying benefit application with USCIS; and USCIS issues a decision on the underlying benefit application no more than 2 years after the date of the civil surgeon’s signature.
•The civil surgeon signs Form I-693, and the applicant submits Form I-693, after the applicant files the benefit application with USCIS; and USCIS issues a decision on the underlying benefit application no more than 2 years after the date of the civil surgeon’s signature.

P.S. I am so so happy, that I don't have to go and spend more money and time and do another round of medicals.
Thank God at the time I filed my AOS petition my medicals were only like 10 days old, so I fall under 2nd category. I hope this article will help someone!
