Providing the wrong address could now be a reason for the rejection of your case.
Petitions that are rejected by the USCIS due to missing information can be re-filed after completing the missing information and paying the required fee.

In recent years there have been many changes concerning the validity period of Form I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record when it is filed for Form I-485 Adjustment of Status Applications.

The report is now valid for two years instead of one year. However, USCIS has announced a 60 day limit to the validity period of the report from the time the Civil Surgeon signs the medical exam to when it is filed.
