Timeline and documented change
The revision required an applicable full or partial Form I-693 to be submitted with I-485 and incorporated the affidavit-of-support exemption request previously made on Form I-864W. This entry describes the dated announcement and its implementation milestone, not later editions or later policy changes.
What to check now
Use the current USCIS form page, instructions and fee guidance before filing. Do not use an archived announcement as a live checklist. If an edition, fee or supporting-document rule has changed, the historical event remains part of the record but is not a substitute for today’s requirements.
