Embarking on the path to a U.S. Green Card is an exciting journey, and an essential step is the immigration medical exam, also known as the green card medical examination. This critical examination is conducted by a designated Civil Surgeon authorized by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The exam evaluates applicants' health, ensuring compliance with USCIS vaccination guidelines.
The process includes a physical examination, a review of medical history and immunization records, and essential lab tests for infectious diseases.
The outcomes are pivotal in determining eligibility for permanent resident status. It's more than a formality — it's a crucial checkpoint in your journey toward achieving permanent resident status in the U.S.
To help avoid delays, please bring the following:
Your visit includes all services required by USCIS:
A Complete Physical Examination.
Review of Your Vaccination Records.
Administration of Required Immunizations (if Needed).
Tuberculosis (TB) Screening.
Testing for Gonorrhea and Syphilis.
We recommend scheduling your exam just before submitting your I-485 application.
Meeting the USCIS vaccination requirements is a key part of your immigration medical exam. These vaccination requirements vary based on your age and health status and are necessary to complete the I-693 form. If you do not have proof of immunization, you may need to begin new vaccinations. We can conveniently provide the necessary vaccines in-house at a competitive price. Alternatively, you can obtain the vaccines from other providers or pharmacies and submit proof of immunization afterward.
