An Immigration Exam is a medical evaluation required for individuals seeking to immigrate to the U.S. or adjust their immigration status. The exam is part of the U.S. immigration application process and must be conducted by a USCIS-approved civil surgeon. The exam typically includes a physical examination, a review of your medical history, laboratory tests, and specific vaccinations.
The goal of the exam is to ensure that applicants do not have any medical conditions that could make them inadmissible to the U.S. on public health grounds. These exams are required for anyone applying for a green card, adjusting immigration status, or applying for certain visas.
How the Immigration Exam Works
During your Immigration Exam, a USCIS-approved provider will conduct a physical exam and review your medical history. The process includes the following components:
- Medical History Review – Your provider will ask about any past or current health issues, including communicable diseases, mental health conditions, and chronic conditions.
- Physical Examination – A comprehensive check-up will be conducted to evaluate your overall health.
- Laboratory Tests – Blood tests for tuberculosis (TB) and other required screenings.
- Vaccination Review – The provider will ensure that you have received all required vaccinations for U.S. immigration purposes, including those for measles, mumps, rubella, polio, and others.
- Required Documentation – After completing the exam, the provider will submit a completed Form I-693, which documents the results of your immigration medical exam and vaccinations.
This exam is essential for the processing of your immigration application, and your results will be submitted directly to the USCIS to move forward with your immigration process.
Health Conditions and Concerns Screened During the Immigration Exam
The Immigration Exam ensures that applicants do not have medical conditions that may impact their eligibility for U.S. immigration benefits. By identifying potential health concerns early, this exam helps streamline the immigration process.
Conditions and concerns addressed during the immigration exam include:
- Tuberculosis (TB) screening
- Vaccination status for required immunizations
- Chronic conditions like diabetes or heart disease that need to be disclosed
- Mental health evaluations for conditions that may affect public safety
- Communicable diseases or infections
Completing your immigration exam provides several benefits, from meeting USCIS requirements to ensuring your overall health is in good standing for entry into the United States. It also helps prevent delays in your immigration process by ensuring all necessary health documentation is in place.

What vaccinations are required for the immigration exam?
Required vaccinations typically include those for measles, mumps, rubella, varicella, polio, and hepatitis B. The exact list may vary based on your age, medical history, and any existing vaccinations.
How long does the immigration exam take?
The exam itself usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes. However, it may take additional time to receive results for blood tests and vaccinations, so the entire process may take a few days to complete.
Do I need to bring anything to my immigration exam?
Be sure to bring a valid form of identification, any vaccination records, and your medical history. Your civil surgeon will provide instructions on any additional documents you may need.
Will I need a follow-up appointment?
A follow-up appointment may be required if there are any issues with the medical tests or vaccinations. In most cases, you’ll be given a completed Form I-693 to submit with your immigration application once the exam is complete.
