No‑Change Extension for Civil Surgeon Form
USCIS is extending the Application for Civil Surgeon Designation (Form I-910) without changing the form, so doctors applying or renewing their Civil Surgeon designation keep using the same paperwork. The public comment window on this extension is open for 60 days and closes on June 22, 2026.
Estimated Time and Cost Burden
USCIS estimates 470 annual respondents for Form I-910 with an average of 2 hours per response, totaling 940 hours per year and an estimated annual cost burden of $24,205. These are the explicit annual time and dollar burdens associated with maintaining the current collection.
Approval Grants Civil Surgeon Authority and Listing
If a physician's Form I-910 is approved, USCIS includes that physician in its public Civil Surgeon locator and authorizes the physician to complete Form I-693 (OMB Control Number 1615-0033) for applicants' adjustment of status. This continues the existing pathway for designated doctors to perform and document immigration medical exams.
