On Aug. 12, USCIS issued guidance in the Policy Manual temporarily extending the
validity period of Form I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination
Record. If we sent you a Request for Evidence (RFE) because your I-693 had
expired after two years, but it is valid under the temporary extension to four
years and you meet the requirements, please respond to the RFE by citing,
printing out or otherwise mentioning this policy alert.

USCIS has prioritized employment-based adjustment of status applications during
every step of its processing and adjudication during this fiscal year. We
continue to make processing and resource allocation decisions to increase the
pace of adjudications and limit the potential for employment-based visa numbers
to go unused. If you are applying for a Green Card in an employment-based
category and we issued you a Request for Evidence (RFE) for your Form I-693,
Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record, you should respond as soon
as possible so we can finalize a decision on your adjustment application.

On Aug. 5, 2021, President Biden issued a Memorandum to the Secretary of

We understand you may have questions about DACA and the recent court decision in
State of Texas et al. v. United States of America et al., 1:18-CV-00068 (S.D.
Texas July 16, 2021). We have updated our website to help answer some of your
questions about the decision, including how it may affect your current DACA and
work authorization, or any requests for DACA or related benefits.

USCIS has announced that Temporary Protected Status (TPS) applicants who are
eligible nationals of Burma, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela or Yemen, or individuals

are applying for TPS for the first time.

On July 16, 2021, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas
held that the DACA policy “is illegal.” The Court granted summary judgment on
plaintiffs’ Administrative Procedure Act (APA) claims; vacated the June 15, 2012
DACA memorandum issued by former Secretary of Homeland Security Napolitano;
remanded the memorandum to DHS  for further consideration; and issued a
permanent injunction prohibiting the government’s continued administration of
DACA and the reimplementation of DACA without compliance with the APA. The
Court, however, temporarily stayed its order vacating the DACA memorandum and
its injunction with regard to individuals who obtained DACA on or before July
16, 2021, including those with renewal requests.

Consistent with this order, DHS will continue to accept the filing of both
initial and renewal DACA requests, as well as accompanying requests for
employment authorization. However, pursuant to the July 16, 2021 order from the
Southern District of Texas, DHS is prohibited from granting initial DACA
requests and accompanying requests for employment authorization. Also consistent
with that order, DHS will continue to grant or deny renewal DACA requests,
according to existing policy.

The 2019 Public Charge Final Rule is no longer in effect, and DHS will partner
with federal agencies to ensure impacted individuals are aware.

 * March 10: The Public Charge Final Rule

We are no longer applying the August 2019 Public Charge Final Rule. On March 9,
2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit lifted its stay of the
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois’ Nov. 2, 2020,
decision which vacated the Inadmissibility on Public Charge Grounds final rule
nationwide. USCIS immediately stopped applying the Public Charge Final Rule to
all pending applications and petitions.

For more information, see our main public charge webpage, our public charge
litigation page, and DHS’s news release.
