I-693 Immigration Medical Exam
What is it?
An important part of the immigration process is undergoing a medical exam with a USCIS certified Civil Surgeon. We will help guide you through the process and ensure that all parts of the exam and the I-693 Form are properly completed.
What to expect at the Medical Exam?
During your visit, the Civil Surgeon will review your vaccination records, medical history and perform a medical exam. The age-based required lab work (Syphilis, Gonorrhea, Tuberculosis) will be ordered, which can then be done at a Quest Diagnostics location of your choice. The Civil Surgeon will inform you of any vaccines that you are missing and required to get. ​
​
Lab results typically take one week to come back. Once they are received and everything is in order, we will have you return to the office to pick up the signed Form I-693. You will receive the signed form in a sealed envelope as well as a copy for your own records. Please do not break the seal as it will be rejected by USCIS.
