Immigration Physicals

The Immigration Act of 1882 provided that all foreign nationals arriving in the United States undergo medical exam to prohibit the entry of any "person to take care of himself or herself without becoming a public charge".

The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) of 1952, as amended by the Homeland Security Act of 2002, has designated Civil Surgeons to provide Immigration Medical Examinations required of foreign nationals in the United States.

The Immigration Medical Examinations are performed pursuant to technical instructions for the Medical Examination of  Aliens in the United States, issued by the Centers for  Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), an agency of the Department of Human and Health Services (HHS).

The Immigration Medical Examination assesses whether foreign nationals have any of the following medical conditions that could result in their inadmissibility.

• Communicable Disease of public health significance

• Failure to show proof of required vaccinations ( for immigrant Visa applicants and adjustment of status applicants only)

  • Vaccination Requirements

    • Measles

    • Mumps

    • Rubella

    • Varicella

    • Hepatitis B

• Physical or Mental Disorder associated with harmful behavior

• Drug Abuse or Addiction

The Immigration Medical Examination results are reported on United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Form I-693. A foreign national applicant must submit the completed Form I-693 to USCIS as part of his or her immigration benefits application.
