Only USCIS-authorized Civil Surgeons, like our specialists, can conduct immigration physical exams and complete Form I-693. This ensures that your medical documentation complies with federal requirements for green card applications.
The I-693 form, officially known as the “Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record,” is required by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to ensure that an individual applying for a green card or certain other immigration benefits meets the health-related standards for admissibility into the United States.
Anyone applying for a green card (adjustment of status) within the United States must complete the I-693 form as part of their application process. This includes individuals seeking family-based, employment-based, or other immigration benefits that require a medical examination.
A USCIS-designated Civil Surgeon must perform the medical examination. Only these authorized physicians can complete and sign the I-693 form.

After the examination and receiving the lab results, the Civil Surgeon will complete the I-693 form and seal it in an envelope. Do not open this envelope. Submit the sealed envelope to USCIS with your green card application or at your immigration interview.
If your I-693 form expires, we can review your previous medical exam results to see if any information is still valid. This can save you time and reduce costs during the renewal process.
If you have a medical condition, the Civil Surgeon will determine whether it affects your admissibility. Some conditions, such as communicable diseases of public health significance, may require treatment before you can proceed with your immigration application.
The cost of the I-693 medical examination varies depending on whether the Civil Surgeon is in-network with your insurance. Please contact our office to verify your insurance coverage
