The immigration medical exam (Form I-693) is a required step in many adjustment-of-status processes. Understanding how it works helps you arrive prepared and avoid delays.
What is the I-693 for?
USCIS requires this exam to confirm there are no health conditions affecting your application. It must be performed by a USCIS-authorized physician, known as a civil surgeon.
What does the exam include?
- Review of your medical and vaccination history
- Complete physical exam
- Required tests, including tuberculosis
- Administration of any missing vaccines
- Form I-693 completed and sealed in the official envelope
Which vaccines do I need?
USCIS requires certain vaccines depending on your age and history (for example, influenza, tetanus, hepatitis, among others). If you're missing any, we can administer them the same day.
What should I bring?
- Photo ID.
- Your vaccination record, if you have it.
- Any relevant medical documents.
Important tip
Do not open the sealed envelope. If you open it, the form may be invalidated and you'd have to repeat the process.
