An Immigration Physical is a thorough medical examination required by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for individuals seeking immigration or adjustment of status. It ensures you meet the health requirements for entry into the United States to protect public health. It’s a mandatory step in the immigration process.

The Immigration Physical typically includes a physical examination, vaccinations as needed, tuberculin skin testing (TB test), syphilis testing, and evaluation of your medical history. The specific requirements can vary based on your age and medical history.

You can get an Immigration Physical at designated USCIS-approved Civil Surgeon’s offices, which are typically private medical practices like ours. The cost can vary depending on factors such as location and the specific tests required, so it’s best to contact our office for pricing details.

The duration can vary, but typically, you can expect the Immigration Physical to take a few hours to complete, including the medical examination and any required vaccinations or follow-up tests. Afterward, the results are usually available within a few days, and you can submit the completed Form I-693 to USCIS as part of your immigration application.
