What Is the I-693 Immigration Medical Exam?

The I-693 exam is an official part of the green card (adjustment of status) application process. It is designed to confirm that an applicant is not inadmissible to the U.S. on public health grounds, and to demonstrate that they have received all required vaccinations for lawful permanent residency.

The immigration physical involves:

• A review of your medical history
   

• A physical exam by a civil surgeon approved by USCIS
   

• A review of your vaccination record
   

• Blood and urine tests for specific communicable diseases
   

• Documentation and completion of Form I-693 in a sealed envelope for submission to USCIS
   

MRHS is here to support you through each step with clear communication, cultural sensitivity, and a patient-first approach.

 

What’s Included in the I-693 Exam at MRHS?

We provide a complete I-693 medical exam package that meets all USCIS guidelines. Your visit typically includes:

✅ Civil Surgeon Exam & Medical History Review

Our certified civil surgeon will conduct a comprehensive physical examination and review your full medical history, including past illnesses, current medications, and chronic conditions.

✅ Required Laboratory Tests

USCIS mandates certain blood and urine tests for immigration purposes:

• Tuberculosis screening (IGRA blood test preferred by USCIS)
  Note: A chest X-ray may be required if the TB test is positive.
   

• Syphilis testing (RPR blood test for applicants age 18–44)
   

• Gonorrhea screening (urine test for applicants age 18–24)
   

All required lab tests are performed on-site or by a trusted partner lab for speed and accuracy.

✅ Vaccination Review and Catch-Up Immunizations

We will review your immunization records to verify whether you have received all vaccines required by USCIS. If you are missing any, we can administer them during your appointment.

Common vaccinations required include:

• MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella)
   

• Varicella (Chickenpox)
   

• Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis (Tdap)
   

• Influenza (if applying during flu season)
   

• Hepatitis B
   

• COVID-19
   

Some vaccinations require multiple doses spaced out over time. If this applies to you, we’ll provide a clear schedule and follow-up appointments as needed.

✅ Sealed I-693 Form + Copy for Your Records

Once all medical and lab requirements are complete, we’ll prepare and seal your official I-693 packet for submission to USCIS. You’ll also receive an unsealed copy for your personal files.

 

What to Bring to Your Appointment

To ensure your visit goes smoothly, please bring the following:

• A valid government-issued photo ID (passport, visa, green card, or driver’s license)
   

• Any previous vaccination records, translated into English if necessary
   

• Records of any prior TB treatment or abnormal chest X-rays (if applicable)
   

• A list of your current medications and medical conditions
   

• Your A-number, if available
   

• Any USCIS-related instructions from your attorney or case officer
   

 

When Should You Schedule Your Exam?

The I-693 form must be signed by the civil surgeon within 60 days of submission to USCIS. We recommend scheduling your exam once your adjustment of status application is nearly ready to be submitted or if USCIS has requested a medical.
