USCIS-Approved Immigration Medical Examinations
The immigration process requires specific medical examinations performed by USCIS-designated civil surgeons. At Lowell Care, our certified civil surgeons provide comprehensive I-693 immigration medical examinations that meet all federal requirements for visa applications, adjustment of status, and citizenship processes.
Understanding the I-693 Requirement: The Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record (Form I-693) is required for most immigration applications within the United States. This examination must be performed by a USCIS-designated civil surgeon and includes specific medical evaluations, vaccinations, and documentation that meets strict federal guidelines.
What the Examination Includes: The immigration physical includes a complete medical history review, comprehensive physical examination, mental health screening assessment, tuberculosis testing with chest X-ray and tuberculin skin test when required, blood tests for syphilis and other conditions as specified, review of vaccination records and administration of required vaccines, and completion of all required USCIS forms and documentation.
Required Vaccinations: Immigration medical exams require proof of specific vaccinations including MMR (measles, mumps, rubella), polio, tetanus and diphtheria, pertussis, Haemophilus influenzae type B, hepatitis A and B, varicella (chickenpox), pneumococcal disease, rotavirus for appropriate ages, meningococcal disease, and seasonal influenza. Missing vaccines can be administered during your visit.
Age-Specific Requirements: Vaccination requirements vary by age group. Children and adolescents need age-appropriate vaccines according to CDC schedules. Adults may need fewer vaccines if they have documentation of previous immunizations or evidence of immunity through blood tests. We ensure all age-specific requirements are met according to current USCIS guidelines.
Documentation and Records: Bring any available vaccination records, previous medical records, current medications list, identification documents, and any forms provided by your attorney or immigration specialist. Having complete records helps ensure efficient processing and may reduce the need for additional vaccines or testing.
Processing and Turnaround: Most I-693 examinations can be completed in a single visit when all required tests are normal and vaccinations are current. Results requiring additional testing or vaccines may need follow-up appointments. We understand the time-sensitive nature of immigration applications and work efficiently to minimize delays.
Civil Surgeon Certification: Our civil surgeons maintain current USCIS designation and stay updated on changing requirements and procedures. We follow all federal guidelines for conducting immigration medical examinations and completing required documentation accurately.
Comprehensive Service: We handle all aspects of your immigration medical examination from initial assessment through final documentation. Our goal is to ensure your examination meets all requirements while providing professional, respectful care throughout the process.
Coordination with Legal Process: We understand that immigration medical examinations are part of a larger legal process and work to ensure our documentation supports your immigration goals while meeting all federal requirements.
