What Are Immigration Physicals?

Immigration physicals are mandatory medical exams required by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) as part of the application process for anyone planning to live in the United States. These exams ensure that individuals entering the country are in good health and free from any conditions that could pose a public health risk.

At LocalMD, we understand that this process can feel overwhelming, which is why our compassionate and skilled providers are dedicated to making your experience as smooth and comfortable as possible. We’ll walk you through every step of the exam, answer your questions, and ensure you meet all the necessary requirements.

What to Expect During Your Immigration Physical

When you visit LocalMD for your immigration physical, you can expect a thorough and professional evaluation. Here’s what the process typically includes:

1. Medical History Review

Your provider will discuss your medical history, including any chronic conditions (such as diabetes or high blood pressure), past surgeries, and current medications. Be sure to share any symptoms or health concerns you may have.

2. Comprehensive Physical Examination

Your provider will perform a detailed physical exam, which includes:

• Recording your height and weight

• Measuring your blood pressure

• Listening to your heart and lungs

• Examining your eyes, ears, nose, and throat

• Palpating (feeling) your abdomen and lymph nodes

3. Required Screenings and Tests

To comply with USCIS guidelines, you’ll need to undergo specific screenings for communicable diseases and other health conditions. These may include:

• Tuberculosis (TB) Testing: A skin test or blood test to check for TB.

• Syphilis Testing: A blood test to screen for syphilis.

• Gonorrhea Testing: Required for applicants aged 15 and older.

4. Vaccination Review and Updates

The U.S. government requires immigrants to be up-to-date on certain vaccinations. During your immigration physical, your provider will review your immunization records and determine if you need any additional vaccines or boosters.

If you have documentation of your vaccination history, bring it to your appointment. If you don’t have records, don’t worry — we can perform blood tests to check for antibodies and administer any necessary vaccines on-site.

Required Vaccinations for U.S. Immigration:

• Hepatitis A and B

• Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR)

• Polio

• Tetanus and Diphtheria (Tdap)

• Varicella (Chickenpox)

• Influenza (seasonal)

• Meningococcal Meningitis

• Pneumococcal Pneumonia

• Pertussis (Whooping Cough)

• Rotavirus (for children)

5. Completion of Form I-693

After your exam, your provider will complete Form I-693, the Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record. This form is a critical part of your immigration application and must be sealed in an envelope for submission to USCIS.
