Immigration Exams Q & A

What are immigration exams?

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)requires an immigration medical exam for all individuals applying to become a permanent resident (green card holder) or adjusting their immigration status.

Clinica San Miguel is a full-service family medicine practice with physicians who are officially designated by USCIS to perform these medical exams.

The purpose of the immigration exam is to ensure that applicants do not have any medical conditions that would make them inadmissible to the United States—such as infectious diseases that could pose a risk to public health.


How do I prepare for an immigration exam?

The team at Clinica San Miguel will provide detailed instructions to help you prepare for your immigration exam. In general, you should bring:

  • A valid government-issued ID (such as a passport or driver’s license)
  • Your vaccination records
  • Your completed USCIS medical exam form (Form I-693)

You may also want to bring a trusted friend or family member who can offer support, help with translation, or assist in understanding your provider’s recommendations.


What happens during an immigration exam?

Immigration exams at Clinica San Miguel are different from standard physicals. The main goal is to assess your overall health and medical history to ensure you don’t have any conditions that could be harmful to the public.

At the start of your visit, your provider will explain what to expect during the exam and answer any questions you may have. You’ll be screened for several infectious diseases and conditions, including:

  • Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) such as gonorrhea and syphilis
  • Hansen’s disease (leprosy)
  • Active tuberculosis
  • Other communicable diseases that may require quarantine

Your provider will also perform a physical examination and review your vaccination records, updating any vaccines that are needed.

If necessary, additional testing such as bloodwork or chest X-rays may be performed, and treatment will be provided when appropriate.

Once all required tests are complete, your provider will fill out your official immigration medical exam form and seal it in an envelope for you to submit with your immigration application. You’ll also receive a copy for your personal records.

At Clinica San Miguel, we’re proud to support you through every step of your immigration journey with compassion, respect, and high-quality medical care.
