Immigration Physicals are medical examinations required by the USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) to obtain a U.S. green card or U.S. citizenship. Only doctors designated as civil surgeons can complete an immigration exam. MHEDS provides all necessary medical services to fulfill immigration exam requirements for U.S. citizenship applicants of all ages.
In preparation for the medical examination, you will need to take several items:
- Valid passport or other government-issued photo identification.
- Vaccination records.
- Form I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record.
- The required fee (call MHEDS for details).
- Required number of U.S. passport photos.
- Report the condition and any special education or supervision requirements (if anyone in your family is immigrating with learning disabilities).
- List of medications.
- Tuberculosis certificate from your doctor (if you’ve had a previous positive skin test for tuberculosis) proving that you were adequately treated.
- Certificate of clearance signed by a doctor or public health official, proving that you were adequately treated (if you have had syphilis).
- If you have had a history of harmful or violent behavior resulting in injury to people or animals, provide information that will allow the doctor to determine whether behaviors are related to psychiatric, medical, drug or alcohol problems.
- If you have been treated or hospitalized for psychiatric or mental illness or alcohol or drug abuse, written certification including the diagnosis, length of treatment, and your prognosis.
