Why only concurrent 140/485's

For adjustment of status applicants, the endorsement of a civil surgeon on
Form I-693, Medical Examinationof Aliens Seeking Adjustment of Status, is
generally valid for one year. Some adjustment of status applications are
concurrently filed with an immigrant visa petition as provided for at 8
CFR 245.2(a)(2). These applications are filed with a Form I-693 as required
by 8 CFR 245.5. Some of these applications remain pending for more than the
one-year validity period.
......
Due to the continuing backlog of some concurrently filed adjustment of status
applications, the validity of the civil surgeon’s endorsement on Form I-693,
when submitted in support of a concurrently filed adjustment of status application as provided for at 8 CFR 245.2(a)(2), is extended until the time of adjudication if no Class A or Class B medical condition is certified by the civil surgeon.This policy is in effect until January 1, 2006.
