Quick Answers About Immigration Physicals

Who can perform an immigration physical?

Immigration medical examinations for applicants in the United States must be performed by a USCIS-designated civil surgeon.

What is Form I-693?

Form I-693 is the USCIS medical examination and vaccination record completed as part of the immigration medical exam. The civil surgeon documents the required medical findings and vaccination information on this form.

What should I bring to my immigration physical?

Bring a government-issued photo ID, vaccination records, relevant medical records, information about current medications, and any immigration documentation requested by the clinic.

Will I need vaccinations?

The civil surgeon reviews your vaccination history and determines whether you meet current vaccination requirements or need additional vaccines. USCIS specifically instructs applicants to bring vaccination records to the examination.

Is tuberculosis testing required?

USCIS currently requires an initial tuberculosis screening test for applicants age 2 and older, with additional evaluation when indicated.

What Happens During an Immigration Physical?

During an immigration physical, the civil surgeon reviews your medical history and evaluates you according to applicable USCIS and CDC medical requirements.

The examination may include:

• Medical History Review: Review of current and previous medical conditions, medications, and relevant treatment history.
• Physical Examination: General evaluation of your health as required for the immigration medical exam.
• Tuberculosis Screening: Required TB screening based on current USCIS and CDC guidelines. Applicants age 2 and older currently require an initial screening test, with further evaluation when indicated.
• Additional Communicable Disease Testing: Testing requirements may include conditions such as syphilis and gonorrhea based on current CDC technical instructions and applicable age requirements.

Immigration Physical Testing and Vaccination Requirements

The exact requirements for an immigration physical can vary based on the applicant's age, medical history, vaccination history, and current federal guidelines.

Tuberculosis Screening

Current USCIS requirements call for an initial interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) for applicants age 2 and older. If the screening result or other medical findings indicate the need for further evaluation, additional testing such as a chest X-ray may be required.

Vaccination Review

Applicants for adjustment of status must provide documentation showing compliance with applicable vaccination requirements. The civil surgeon reviews your vaccination history and determines whether additional vaccines are medically appropriate or required.

If you do not have documentation showing that you received a required vaccine, the civil surgeon will explain your available options and document your vaccination status appropriately on Form I-693.

Other Required Testing

USCIS medical examination requirements also include evaluation for certain communicable diseases. Depending on current CDC technical instructions, age, and individual circumstances, testing may include syphilis, gonorrhea, and other required medical evaluations.

Form I-693 and Your Immigration Medical Exam

Form I-693, Report of Immigration Medical Examination and Vaccination Record, is the USCIS form used to document the results of the immigration medical examination.

The USCIS-designated civil surgeon completes the medical portions of the form after reviewing your examination results, required testing, and vaccination history.
