What Is an Immigration Medical Exam?
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) requires an immigration medical exam for various categories of applicants, including green card seekers who want U.S. residency. The examination supports your adherence to health standards defined in U.S. immigration legislation. NovaMed performs these tests rapidly and with high accuracy. Our urgent care physicals provider status enables fast and convenient processing of requirements for all applicants.
Who Needs an Immigration Physical Exam?
The immigration physical examination process is mandatory for individuals who apply for green cards through adjustment of status and immigrant visa seekers, and who participate in certain asylum proceedings. Every candidate, including those of any age and nationality, is required to complete this procedure. Our facility accepts direct appointments, which means you can find an exam both as urgent care physical and walk-in care from your current location.
- Green Card Applicants: To apply for lawful permanent residency through Form I-485, every green card applicant must pass a medical examination approved by USCIS.
- Immigrant Visa Applicants: All foreign national immigrant visa candidates must undergo a physical examination before obtaining entry into the United States.
- Refugees and Asylees: People who seek asylum or refugee status in the United States must undertake urgent care physicals for immigration health purposes.
- Fiancé(e) Visa Holders (K-1 Visa): Before adjusting status to permanent resident, K-1 visa holders must complete the exam.
Certain Non-Immigrant Visa Applicants: In some cases, individuals changing visa status may be required to take a walk in physical to comply with medical screening standards.
What Does an Immigration Physical Entail?
An immigration physical is a comprehensive medical examination that includes the following components:
- Medical History Review: The medical professional will review your medical history, including any past surgeries, illnesses, and hospitalizations.
- Physical Examination: The medical professional will perform a thorough physical examination, including an evaluation of your eyes, ears, nose, throat, heart, lungs, abdomen, skin, and extremities.
- Vaccination Review: The medical professional will review your vaccination records and administer any necessary vaccinations required by USCIS.
- Tuberculosis Screening: The medical professional will administer a tuberculosis (TB) skin test or a chest X-ray to screen for TB.
- Syphilis Testing: The medical professional will administer a syphilis test.
What Should You Bring to Your Immigration Physical?
Before your appointment, it is important to gather the following documents and information:
- Valid photo identification (such as a passport or driver’s license)
- Vaccination records
- Any medical records related to chronic conditions
- Any medications you are currently taking
What to Expect During Your Exam
Your immigration physical exam at NovaMed is comprehensive, fast, and handled by certified professionals. Here’s what to expect:
Medical History Review
Our civil surgeon will review your medical history, including any chronic conditions, surgeries, hospitalizations, or medications. This helps us complete your I-693 form accurately.
Physical Examination
The comprehensive urgent care physical examination includes tests covering your heart, with evaluation of lungs and vision, hearing, skin, and reflexes. Your overall health status must meet the immigration standards according to the assessment.
Tuberculosis (TB) Testing
USCIS requires you to take the required Tuberculosis test through a Quantiferon blood examination. Results typically arrive within 3–5 days.
Vaccination Verification
The evaluation of your vaccination records will confirm their compatibility with USCIS’s demands. Medical staff at our facility provide on-site vaccine services to clients who have not received vital vaccinations needed for immigration purposes.
STD & Blood Testing
The necessary blood tests detect both syphilis and other conditions that match the requirements set by USCIS. The healthcare provider can perform urine tests as required per clinical needs.
Our staff will guide you through every step so you know what’s required and what comes next. If you need additional documentation or vaccines, we’ll help you complete your packet correctly.
