If you want to become a permanent resident in the United States, you must complete the green card application process. One of the tasks required to apply is the green card medical exam, also known as the immigration medical examination.
Only physicians designated by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) can perform a green card medical exam. These physicians are referred to as immigration doctors or civil surgeons. To qualify as a civil surgeon, physicians must be licensed and have at least four years of professional experience.
The medical exam aims to determine whether an applicant is healthy enough to qualify for a green card. During the green card medical exam, the civil surgeon will assess if the applicant has a medical condition that prevents them from being admitted into the U.S. These conditions include:1
In trying to assess if you have a medical condition that may make you inadmissible for a green card, the civil surgeon will review your medical and vaccination records and perform a physical exam. Here's what you can expect during the exam:2
At the end of the exam, the physician will fill out the medical report form (Form I-693). This report includes the findings of the medical exam and the results of required tests, including tuberculosis and syphilis. The physician will sign and seal the form and any supporting documentation in an envelope. You must ensure the document remains sealed and submit it to the USCIS.
In preparation for a green card medical exam, start by selecting an immigration doctor to perform the exam. You will need to locate an immigration doctor near you and schedule an exam. Be sure to start collecting all your medical and vaccination histories so they are ready to share when you go to your exam.
