IMMIGRATION EXAMS

When applying for a Green Card through adjustment of status in the United States, a USCIS-authorized medical examination is typically required. This exam must be conducted by a designated civil surgeon—a doctor approved by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to perform immigration medical exams. Only these authorized physicians are permitted to complete Form I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record, which is a necessary part of most Green Card applications. This examination is an essential part of the immigration process to ensure applicants meet the health-related standards set by U.S. immigration law. (Source: USCIS website)
