To renew Medical or not?
I have an interview scheduled at the end of this month. My medical was submitted in November 2021. I'm wondering whether I should undergo a new medical exam and submit it during my interview or wait for the officer to request for it. I've read that the medical expiration has been extended from 2 years to 4 years. Any ideas/thoughts? Thanks everyone!

4. Form I-693 Validity and Evidentiary Value
Form I-693 Validity
Beginning March 31, 2023, USCIS revised its policy regarding the validity period in which Form I-693 retains its evidentiary value. USCIS now considers Form I-693 to retain evidentiary value (meaning it can be used as evidence that the person is not inadmissible on the health-related grounds at the time of adjudication of the underlying immigration benefit application) for 2 years from the date of the civil surgeon’s signature, regardless of when the underlying benefit application was submitted.

I don't see how submitting your new medical at the interview can harm your case, but I'm not a lawyer nor am I an immigration expert, this is just my honest opinion.
