What Is an Immigration Physical?
An immigration physical, also known as a USCIS immigration medical exam, is a mandatory health evaluation required by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). It ensures that individuals applying for U.S. residency meet the country’s health and vaccination standards.
- Conducted only by a USCIS-designated civil surgeon who follows official federal guidelines.
- Screens for communicable diseases and reviews vaccination records to verify compliance with public health requirements.
- Helps ensure that applicants entering or remaining in the U.S. are in good overall health and free from severe infectious conditions.
At Apex Primary Wellness, we follow all USCIS protocols carefully, guiding you through each step of your exam with professionalism and care.
What to Expect During Your Immigration Physical Exam?
Your immigration medical exam includes several key components to meet federal standards:
Medical History Review
We’ll discuss your personal and family health background, vaccination history, and any medications or past illnesses.
Physical Examination
A thorough evaluation of your heart, lungs, eyes, ears, skin, and overall health, along with checking your height, weight, and vital signs.
Required Laboratory Tests
Blood tests for communicable diseases, such as syphilis and tuberculosis (TB). Additional lab tests may be ordered if required by USCIS.
Vaccination Requirements
Review of all mandatory vaccines, including MMR, Tdap, Varicella, Influenza, and Hepatitis B. We review the immunization record and give recommendations for what’s missing in order to meet immigration guidelines.
Our goal is to make the entire process smooth and efficient so you can move forward confidently with your immigration application.
Documents to Bring for Your Immigration Physical
To ensure your visit goes smoothly, please bring:
- A valid government-issued photo ID (passport, driver’s license, or immigration document).
- Form I-693 (Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record).
- Immunization or vaccination records.
- List of current medications and relevant medical history.
Our team will review your documentation and assist with any missing forms or records.
How Long Does the Immigration Physical Take?
The entire exam typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. Laboratory results may take a few days, depending on the tests performed.
Once your evaluation and lab results are complete, we’ll provide your sealed I-693 form to submit to USCIS. You’ll also receive a copy for your records.
