If you are in the process of obtaining a green card or another type of immigration status in the United States, one key step you will need to take is getting an Immigration Physical. This is a medical examination required by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to ensure that you are not inadmissible on health grounds.
During your Immigration Physical, a designated civil surgeon will perform a thorough medical examination to determine if you have any health conditions that could pose a risk to public health or safety. The goal of the exam is to protect the health of the U.S. population and prevent the spread of communicable diseases.
So, what can you expect during your Immigration Physical? Here is an overview of the process:
1. Scheduling the exam: Once you receive your medical forms from USCIS, you will need to schedule an appointment with a designated civil surgeon in your area. Make sure to bring all required documents to the appointment, including your passport, vaccination records, and medical history.
2. Medical history review: The civil surgeon will review your medical history, including any past or current medical conditions, surgeries, and medications. Be prepared to provide details about your health status to ensure an accurate evaluation.
3. Physical examination: The civil surgeon will conduct a physical examination to assess your overall health. This may include measuring your height, weight, blood pressure, and listening to your heartbeat and lungs.
4. Tuberculosis (TB) test: In most cases, you will be required to undergo a TB skin test or blood test. This is to determine if you have active TB infection or if you have been previously exposed to the disease.
5. Vaccination review: The civil surgeon will check your vaccination records to ensure that you have received all required vaccinations for immigration purposes. If you are missing any vaccines, you may need to get them during the exam.
6. Laboratory tests: Depending on your medical history and the civil surgeon’s assessment, you may be required to undergo additional laboratory tests, such as a complete blood count or a urine test.
7. Mental health evaluation: In some cases, the civil surgeon may assess your mental health to determine if you have any conditions that could affect your ability to live and work in the U.S.
Overall, the Immigration Physical is a crucial step in the immigration process. By following the guidelines and preparing for the exam, you can ensure a smooth and successful evaluation. Remember to provide accurate information and cooperate with the civil surgeon to expedite your immigration status.
