Immigration Exams Q & A
What is an immigration exam?
An immigration exam is a physical exam to ensure you’re in good overall health, free of contagious disease, and mentally sound to complete the immigration process. You also need an immigration exam if you’re planning to work for a US employer and originate from another country.
The staff at HG Doctors offers comprehensive physicals in accordance with the policies of the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The medical team is fluent in several languages to accommodate your needs. These languages include:
- English
- Spanish
- French
- Romanian
To ensure your exam is completed in time, you need to schedule it at HG Doctors before your interview.
What is involved in an immigration exam?
During your immigration exam, your HG Doctors provider discusses your medical history. They do a thorough evaluation of your physical health, including the function of your:
- Ear
- Nose
- Lungs
- Heart
- Throat
- Abdomen
- Lymph nodes
The HG Doctors team also checks the health of your skin and external genitalia. They make a note of your body temperature, height, and weight.
As part of your immigration physical, your HG Doctors provider evaluates your mental health through a series of questions to identify conditions like depression, anxiety, and other common mental health disorders.
Depending on your existing health, you may need additional medical screenings, including blood work or urine testing.
How do my exam results affect my immigration application?
If you pass the physical exam, your HG Doctors provider issues a report with your results. If you have existing medical conditions or other issues that are found during the exam, you may be ineligible for immigration.
Factors that can affect your immigration physical and your application for immigration include:
- Drug abuse
- Lack of vaccinations
- Communicable diseases (tuberculosis or HIV)
Physical or mental disorders that may cause you to harm others may also make you inadmissible for immigration to the United States.
How do I prepare for an immigration exam?
To complete the necessary paperwork, the HG Doctors staff needs information from you, such as:
- Existing medical records
- Vaccination history reports
- Passport or identification card
You also need to complete and bring along Form I-693. Your provider completes the medical paperwork necessary and seals it in an envelope for you to turn in with your application, or they can send it to USCIS.
