An immigration physical (also called an immigration medical exam) is a required health check for people applying for a visa or permanent residency (green card) in the U.S.

What it means
It’s a medical exam done by a doctor approved by the government (called a civil surgeon in the U.S.) to make sure you:

  • Don’t have certain contagious diseases
  • Have required vaccinations
  • Don’t have medical conditions that would make you inadmissible under immigration law

What happens during the exam
The visit is similar to a regular checkup, but more structured:

  • Medical history review
  • Physical exam (heart, lungs, abdomen, etc.)
  • Vaccination review (you may need missing vaccines)
  • Blood tests (like for Syphilis)
  • TB screening (for Tuberculosis — usually a blood test or chest X-ray if needed)

Forms

  • The doctor completes Form I-693 (Report of Medical Examination)
  • You usually get it in a sealed envelope to submit with your immigration application

Important notes

  • You must go in person for this exam
  • Only USCIS-approved doctors can perform it
  • It is not the same as a regular doctor visit
