Immigration Physicals - Your Path to Citizenship Made Simple
Navigating the immigration process can feel overwhelming, but getting your required medical examination doesn’t have to be. At About You Family Medicine, we provide comprehensive immigration physicals that meet all USCIS requirements while delivering the compassionate, thorough care your family deserves during this important life transition.
What is an Immigration Physical?
An immigration physical, also known as a USCIS medical examination, is a mandatory health screening required for most individuals applying for permanent residence (green card) or certain visa categories in the United States. This examination must be performed by a USCIS-designated civil surgeon who is authorized to conduct these specialized medical evaluations.
The exam ensures that applicants do not have health conditions that would make them inadmissible to the United States and verifies that required vaccinations are up to date according to current CDC guidelines.

Common Questions About Immigration Physicals
How long is my immigration physical valid?
Form I-693 must be submitted to USCIS within 60 days of the examination date, and the form itself is valid for up to two years.
Can I get vaccinations elsewhere?
While you can receive some vaccinations from other providers, it’s most efficient to get everything done during your immigration physical appointment.
What if I have a medical condition?
Most medical conditions do not disqualify you from immigration. We’ll work with you to ensure proper documentation and any necessary treatment.
How quickly can I get my results?
In most cases, we can complete your examination and provide the sealed envelope with Form I-693 the same day, unless follow-up testing is required.
