Immigrating to the United States is exciting, but before you can receive a Green Card, USCIS requires an Immigration Medical Exam (Form I-693) performed by a designated civil surgeon. If you live in New York City, Medex Diagnostic & Treatment Center in Forest Hills is one of the fastest, most trusted places to complete your immigration medical exam in Queens.
Form I-693 is the “Report of Immigration Medical Examination and Vaccination Record.” A USCIS-designated civil surgeon fills it out to show that a Green-Card applicant has no disqualifying medical conditions and meets all vaccination requirements; the sealed form must be submitted with (or shortly after) Form I-485.
You must complete Form I-693 if you are:
Exceptions are extremely limited, so plan on completing the exam if you are filing for permanent residency.
| Requirement | Age / Situation |
|---|---|
| Physical & mental health review | All applicants |
| Tuberculosis (TB) screening – blood test (IGRA) preferred over skin test | ≥2 years old cdc.gov |
| Syphilis blood test (RPR or equivalent) | ≥18 years old (or if risk factors) cdc.gov |
| Gonorrhea NAAT test | 18–24 years old (or if at risk) cdc.gov |
| Vaccination review & required catch-ups (MMR, Tdap, Varicella, COVID-19*, more) | Age-appropriate; exemptions noted on I-693 uscis.gov |
* the COVID-19 vaccination remains on the CDC list. Always bring your vaccine card so the civil surgeon can avoid unnecessary repeat doses. Requirements are updated periodically, so confirm when booking. cdc.gov
How long is the exam valid?
USCIS accepts an I-693 signed by the civil surgeon up to 2 years before they adjudicate your case (signature must be ≤ 2 years old on the decision date). uscis.gov
Can I combine my immigration medical exam with other check-ups?
Yes. Many patients bundle their annual physical, vaccinations, or specialty consults (e.g., cardiology, podiatry) during the same visit to save time.
What happens if I test positive for TB, syphilis, or gonorrhea?
We’ll begin treatment or refer you immediately (per CDC guidelines), then update Form I-693 after therapy so your application isn’t delayed. cdc.gov
Do children need the full exam?
Children still undergo a physical exam and vaccination review, but some lab tests are age-dependent. Bring their immunization card so we only give what’s necessary.
What should I bring on exam day?
Passport or government-issued ID, I-693 (Part 1 filled), vaccination records, payment method, and list of current medications.
