What is an immigration physical exam

Part of the process of immigration into the United States is a physical exam that screens you for certain health issues. Only a doctor designated by USCIS such as Dr. Gollapudi can officially conduct this exam. He has successfully provided immigration exams for many applicants and can answer your questions about the process, leaving you less nervous and more prepared.

What should I bring to my immigration physical exam?

You need to bring your medical, vaccination, and immunization records, as well as your passport, Form I-693, and, if you have a chronic or serious medical or mental health condition, you need records to prove that the condition is under control.

What is Form I-693?

Form I-693 is a medical evaluation and immunization records report. Most applicants filing for adjustment of status to be lawful permanent residents must submit this medical form, completed by a designated civil surgeon. The form is used to report results of a medical examination to USCIS and verify you don’t have a public health issue that would prevent you from becoming a lawful U.S. citizen. Do not sign the report before coming to your appointment.

What vaccinations do I need?

You must have the following age-appropriate vaccinations :

• Diphtheria
• Tetanus
• Pertussis
• Polio
• Measles
• Mumps
• Rubella
• Rotavirus
• Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib)
• Hepatitis A
• Hepatitis B
• Meningococcal disease
• Varicella
• Pneumococcal disease

What should I do after the immigration medical exam?

After your examination, Dr. Gollapudi completes the form, signs it, and places the original documents in a sealed envelope. You then must submit the documents as directed in the form. Our office will provide you a copy of the form for your records. Dr. Gollapudi reports your health and weighs in on any conditions that may affect your citizenship eligibility, but it is up to the USCIS to make the final decision on your citizenship status.
