Immigration Physicals: Your Complete Guide to USCIS Medical Exams
An Essential Step in Your Immigration Journey
If you're applying for a green card or U.S. citizenship, you'll need to complete a medical examination by a USCIS-designated civil surgeon. This exam ensures you meet U.S. health standards and is a required part of your application.
What Is an Immigration Physical?
The immigration physical (Form I-693) includes a complete medical history review, physical examination, tuberculosis screening, blood work for communicable diseases, and verification of required vaccinations. At Family Health Center of Plainfield, we're authorized to perform these exams for applicants of all ages.
What to Bring to Your Appointment
You'll need a valid government-issued ID, vaccination records (if available), and any relevant medical history. If you're missing vaccines, we can administer them during your visit.
The Examination Process
Your exam will include vital signs, a physical assessment, TB testing, any required lab work, and a vaccination review. Once everything is complete, your sealed I-693 form will be ready for submission to USCIS.
Refugee Vaccination Assessments
We also provide vaccination assessments for refugees to ensure compliance with resettlement health requirements.
Timeline and Preparation
Most exams are completed in one visit, with your sealed form ready within a few business days. Plan ahead to avoid delays in your application process.
