Immigration Physicals at AFC Urgent Care North Colorado Springs

Immigration Medical Exams for USCIS in Colorado Springs, CO

When an immigration application requires a medical examination, completing the required paperwork and health screening is an important part of the process. AFC Urgent Care North Colorado Springs provides immigration physicals for applicants who need a medical examination completed by a USCIS-designated Civil Surgeon.

During your immigration physical, the Civil Surgeon will review your health and vaccination history, perform the required examination, and determine whether additional testing or vaccinations are necessary. The results are documented on Form I-693, Report of Immigration Medical Examination and Vaccination Record, which is submitted to USCIS as required.

AFC Urgent Care North Colorado Springs is conveniently located at 7130 N. Academy in Colorado Springs, near the northern Colorado Springs corridor. The clinic serves patients from communities including Briargate, Rockrimmon, Chapel Hills, and surrounding areas. The clinic is open seven days a week with extended weekday hours.

What Is Included in an Immigration Physical?

An immigration physical is different from a routine physical because the examination follows specific USCIS and CDC requirements. Only a physician designated as a USCIS Civil Surgeon can perform the required examination and complete Form I-693 for most applicants.

Your appointment may include:

• A physical examination
• Review of your medical history
• Review of your vaccination records
• Assessment of required vaccinations
• Required laboratory testing
• Chest imaging when indicated
• Completion of the appropriate sections of Form I-693

The specific tests and services you need can depend on your age, medical history, vaccination documentation, and current immigration medical examination requirements.

What Documents Should I Bring?

Preparing your documents before your appointment can help the Civil Surgeon accurately complete your immigration medical examination. Bring all available records that may be relevant to your health and vaccination history.

For your appointment, bring:

• Government-issued photo identification
• Passport, driver's license, or other accepted identification
• Complete vaccination records
• Laboratory results showing immunity, when applicable
• Relevant medical records
• Previous chest X-ray documentation, if applicable
• English translations of medical or vaccination records written in another language

It is especially important to bring written vaccination documentation. CDC guidance notes that self-reported vaccinations without acceptable written records generally cannot be used to establish vaccination history.

Do I Need Vaccinations for My Immigration Medical Exam?

Vaccination requirements are determined individually according to current CDC guidelines. The Civil Surgeon reviews your age, vaccination records, documented immunity, and other applicable information to determine which vaccines are required for your examination.

Depending on your age and circumstances, the required vaccination assessment may involve vaccines for diseases such as:

• Tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis
• Polio
• Measles, mumps, and rubella
• Hepatitis B
• Varicella
• Influenza
• Other age-appropriate vaccine requirements

If you are missing a required vaccine, the Civil Surgeon can explain whether you should receive it as part of the examination process. In certain circumstances, USCIS-recognized blanket waivers may apply when a vaccine is not medically appropriate, is not age appropriate, or cannot be completed for another qualifying reason.

What Happens to My Form I-693?

After the medical examination and any required follow-up are completed, the Civil Surgeon completes Form I-693. The completed form is provided to the applicant in a sealed envelope for submission to USCIS. Do not open the sealed envelope, as USCIS may reject a form if the envelope has been opened or altered. You should also receive a copy for your own records.

If additional evaluation or treatment is required before the form can be finalized, the Civil Surgeon will explain the next steps.
