USCIS Immigration Medical Exam
The immigration medical examination is required for individuals applying for adjustment of status or certain immigration benefits in the United States. The exam is performed by a USCIS-designated civil surgeon and documented on Form I-693 in accordance with USCIS medical guidelines.
Vaccination Record Review
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services requires applicants to meet specific vaccination requirements. During the appointment, vaccination records are reviewed to determine which immunizations are required for the immigration medical examination.
Form I-693 Medical Documentation
After the examination is completed, the civil surgeon prepares and signs Form I-693, which documents the results of the medical exam and vaccination assessment required for immigration applications.
Medical History Review
As part of the immigration medical exam, the civil surgeon reviews the patient’s medical history and ensures that the examination is conducted according to USCIS medical requirements.
Physical Examination
The immigration medical exam includes a general physical examination conducted according to USCIS guidelines to evaluate overall health and determine if any conditions require further review under immigration regulations.
Tuberculosis Screening
USCIS requires tuberculosis screening as part of the immigration medical examination. Testing may be required based on the applicant’s age and medical history in accordance with USCIS requirements.
Schedule Your Immigration Medical Exam
If you need to complete a USCIS immigration medical examination, appointments are scheduled by phone only.
Patients should bring the following items to their immigration medical exam appointment:
• Government-issued photo identification

Most individuals applying for adjustment of status (Green Card) inside the United States are required to complete an immigration medical examination performed by a USCIS-designated civil surgeon.
The immigration medical exam helps ensure that applicants meet the health requirements established by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and do not have medical conditions that may affect immigration eligibility.
