The Immigration Medical Exam Process
The number of visits and the time needed to complete your examination depend on your vaccination history, laboratory results and whether additional testing or treatment is required.

The civil surgeon will review your medical history, previous conditions, medications, vaccination records and any available medical documentation.
Physical Examination
The examination includes a general physical assessment and the medical evaluations required by current USCIS and CDC guidelines.
Required Testing
Required testing may include tuberculosis screening and age-appropriate testing for certain communicable diseases. Additional testing may be necessary based on your results.
Vaccination Review
The doctor will review your written vaccination records and determine whether any age-appropriate vaccines or proof of immunity are still needed.
Results Review
The physician will review your laboratory results, vaccination status and any required follow-up reports before completing the medical examination.
Completed Form I-693
Once all requirements are complete, the civil surgeon will prepare Form I-693 and provide it to you in a sealed envelope for submission to USCIS.
What May Be Included in the Examination?
The immigration medical exam follows federal requirements. Testing is based on the applicant’s age, medical history, vaccination history and examination findings.

Immigration Vaccination Requirements
Applicants must provide available written vaccination records for review. The required vaccines vary according to age, medical history and current federal vaccination requirements.
Bring Written Records

Appointments and Eligibility
What is a USCIS civil surgeon?
A civil surgeon is a physician designated by USCIS to perform immigration medical examinations for applicants seeking adjustment of status inside the United States.
Only an authorized civil surgeon may complete and sign Form I-693 for this purpose.
Who needs an immigration medical examination?
Many applicants applying for adjustment of status to lawful permanent residence must submit a completed immigration medical examination.
Your immigration attorney or USCIS instructions can confirm whether Form I-693 is required for your application.
How many appointments will I need?
Some applicants can complete the process with an initial visit and a follow-up after laboratory results are received. Others may need additional visits for vaccines, imaging, treatment or specialist reports.
Can my regular doctor complete Form I-693?
Your regular physician may provide medical or vaccination records, but Form I-693 generally must be completed and signed by a USCIS-designated civil surgeon.
Testing and Vaccination Questions
Is a tuberculosis test required?
Applicants age 2 or older generally require an interferon-gamma release assay, commonly called an IGRA blood test, as part of tuberculosis screening.
A chest X-ray may be required when the IGRA result is positive or when certain symptoms, medical history or examination findings are present.
Is HIV testing required?
HIV testing is not a routine federal requirement of the immigration medical examination. However, the doctor may discuss voluntary testing when it is clinically appropriate.
What happens if I do not have vaccination records?
The civil surgeon will review your situation and determine whether you need age-appropriate vaccines, acceptable laboratory evidence of immunity or another permitted documentation option.
Do not rely only on memory. USCIS vaccination documentation generally requires written records containing vaccination dates.
Do I need every vaccine listed on Form I-693?
Not every vaccine applies to every applicant. Requirements depend on age, medical appropriateness, vaccination history and current federal guidelines.
Form I-693 and Completed Results
Why is Form I-693 placed in a sealed envelope?
The completed medical examination is placed in a sealed envelope for submission to USCIS. Do not open the sealed envelope because USCIS may reject an opened packet.
The office should also provide you with a copy for your personal records.
Can the doctor guarantee approval of my immigration application?
No. The civil surgeon performs the medical examination and reports the findings. USCIS makes the final decision on your immigration application.
How long does it take to receive the completed form?
Completion time depends on laboratory processing, vaccination needs and whether additional testing, treatment or medical documentation is required.
