What Is Included in a USCIS Immigration Medical Exam?

A USCIS immigration medical exam includes a review of your medical history, a physical examination, required health screenings, and a review of your vaccination records. The examination helps determine whether you meet the applicable health requirements for U.S. immigration and is documented on Form I-693, Report of Immigration Medical Examination and Vaccination Record.

During the appointment, the civil surgeon generally completes the following:
  • Medical history review: Discusses your previous illnesses, current health conditions, medications, relevant symptoms, and other information needed for the examination.
  • Physical examination: Evaluates your general health and checks for findings relevant to the immigration medical requirements.
  • Required laboratory testing: Arranges screening for certain communicable diseases according to current CDC instructions and your individual circumstances.
  • Vaccination assessment: Reviews your vaccination records to determine which required vaccines you may still need. Additional vaccines or evidence of immunity may be necessary, depending on your records and eligibility.
  • Form I-693 documentation: Records the examination findings, required test results, and vaccination information for submission to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
  • The exact steps may vary depending on your age, medical history, test results, and vaccination records. Additional testing, vaccinations, or follow-up care may be necessary before the examination can be completed.

    Before scheduling, confirm that the physician is a USCIS-designated civil surgeon authorized to complete Form I-693. You should also ask what the appointment fee includes and whether laboratory tests or vaccinations incur additional charges.

You will receive the completed form in a sealed envelope for submission to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), along with a copy for your records.

    If laboratory results are delayed or additional testing, vaccinations, or medical evaluation is required, completion may take longer. For this reason, it is best to schedule your appointment early enough to allow time for any necessary follow-up.

    Before booking with Macie Medical, ask how long the appointment usually takes, when you can expect your completed Form I-693, and whether any additional visits may be needed. This can help you plan your immigration application without relying on an unconfirmed turnaround time.

    Which Tests and Vaccines Are Required for Form I-693?

    • Tuberculosis (TB): An IGRA blood test for applicants aged 2 and older, with further evaluation when indicated.
    • Syphilis and gonorrhea: Screening based on the age-specific CDC requirements.
    • Vaccination review: Assessment of records to determine which required vaccines you still need, such as measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus, or hepatitis vaccines.
    • Additional evaluation: Further testing if medical findings require follow-up.

    Not every applicant needs every vaccine or additional test. Bring your available vaccination records and relevant medical documents so the civil surgeon can assess your requirements.

    • Valid photo identification: Bring an unexpired passport, driver's license, or another acceptable government-issued photo ID. Children under 14 may need alternative documents to establish their identity. Macie Medical sees adults and seniors 18 years and above.
    • Vaccination records: Bring all available written immunization records, including records from outside the United States. If your records are not in English, arrange a reliable English translation.
    • Previous medical and laboratory records: Bring relevant records, including previous tuberculosis test results, chest X-rays or treatment records, and documentation of medical conditions that may affect your examination.
    • Form I-693: If instructed, complete Part 1 of the current form before your appointment. Do not sign it until the civil surgeon tells you to do so.
    • Additional documents requested by the clinic: Confirm whether you need to bring any other paperwork based on your circumstances or appointment instructions.

    If you cannot locate your vaccination records, let the clinic know before your appointment. Do not assume that missing records automatically mean you must receive every vaccine again.

    I’m new in town looking for a new PCP and had my first appointment with Maci Medical and Dr. Aniekwena. The office was very nice and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The assistant Leahanett made me feel relaxed and was patient with me as we went through the history. Dr. Aniekwena was very professional and knowledgeable. The appointment was conversational and didn’t feel rushed or matter of fact like some physicians who are just checking boxes. I was lucky to find my new PCP with the first physician I met. Happy to be in Dr. Aniekwena’s care.
