An immigration physical is an important step in the U.S. immigration process. Whether you are applying for adjustment of status or completing another immigration medical requirement, the examination is done by a USCIS-designated civil surgeon.
At Apex Urgent Care Clinic, we understand preparing for an immigration medical examination can be overwhelming. Our goal is to make the process straightforward, convenient, and easy to understand.
Immigration physicals at Apex start at $250, giving eligible applicants an affordable way to begin their required medical examination.
Here are the four core elements of an immigration physical and what each one involves.
1. Medical History & Physical Evaluation
The immigration physical starts with medical history and a physical examination.
The civil surgeon reviews your health and conducts an assessment of major body systems.
This part of the examination gives the civil surgeon a picture of your health and helps determine whether additional testing or medical documentation is required.
2. Mental Health Screening
Mental health is another component of the immigration medical examination.
The civil surgeon evaluates relevant medical history and observes your general behavior and mental status. The purpose is to determine whether any conditions under specific health-related requirements of the U.S. immigration medical examination.
This is not simply a general mental health check. It is an assessment conducted as part of the immigration medical examination requirements.
3. Communicable Disease Testing
Communicable disease screening is part of the immigration physical because U.S. immigration medical examinations include some public-health requirements.
Testing requirements depend on the applicant’s age and circumstances.
Tuberculosis (TB) Screening
Applicants age 2 and older require tuberculosis screening using an IGRA blood test under current immigration medical examination requirements.
Following the screening result, the civil surgeon may order additional testing, such as a chest X-ray, according to applicable requirements.
Syphilis and Gonorrhea Screening
Applicants age 15 and older require screening for certain sexually transmitted infections as part of the immigration medical examination.
This includes:
- Syphilis: Blood testing
- Gonorrhea: Urine testing
4. Mandatory Vaccinations
Vaccinations are one of the most important things to prepare for before your immigration physical.
Applicants must meet the vaccination requirements applicable to their age and immigration medical examination. The civil surgeon will review your vaccination history and determine which vaccinations or documentation are required.
If you don’t have all your vaccination records, our team reviews your documentation and determines what may be needed to complete the medical examination.
