Immigration Physicals in Missouri City, TX
Navigating the U.S. immigration process can feel overwhelming, but getting your immigration medical exam doesn’t have to be. At Sinang Medical & Associates in Missouri City, TX, we make it easier for individuals and families to complete this important step toward permanent citizenship.
What Is a USCIS Immigration Physical?
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) requires most applicants for lawful permanent residency (also known as a green card) to complete a physical exam with a designated civil surgeon. This exam confirms that you’re free of certain communicable diseases and up to date on required vaccinations.
At Sinang Medical & Associates, our immigration physicals follow all current USCIS guidelines. Once the evaluation is complete, we’ll prepare your official Form I-693, which must be signed and sealed to include with your application.
What the Immigration Medical Exam Includes
Your immigration physical is designed to check your overall health and ensure you meet the public health standards required by U.S. law. Every visit includes:
- A full review of your medical history
- A physical exam
- Tuberculosis (TB) testing via a blood test or skin test (required for ages 2 and up)
- Verification of your vaccination records
- Additional lab work or screenings, as required by USCIS
- Completion and sealing of Form I-693
Depending on your health status and vaccination history, you may need follow-up appointments for additional vaccines or tests.
