Immigration Physicals

Certified USCIS Immigration Medical Exams

If you’re applying for permanent residency (a green card) in the United States, you’re required to complete a medical examination performed by a USCIS-designated Civil Surgeon. At Yakima Medical Clinic, our licensed providers are certified to perform immigration physicals and complete all necessary paperwork for your application.

We make the process simple, efficient, and stress-free — helping you meet every requirement and keep your immigration journey on track.

What Is an Immigration Physical?

An immigration physical is a medical exam required by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to ensure applicants do not have certain communicable diseases or medical conditions that could impact public health or safety.

This exam is different from a routine check-up. It follows specific federal guidelines and includes laboratory tests, vaccinations, and documentation required by the Department of Homeland Security.

At Yakima Medical Clinic, our Civil Surgeon will guide you through each step to make sure your examination and paperwork are done correctly the first time.

What to Bring to Your Appointment

To ensure your immigration medical exam goes smoothly, please bring the following items to your appointment:

  • A valid government-issued photo ID (passport, driver’s license, or other official document)
  • Form I-693, “Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record” (printed but not signed — you’ll sign it during your visit)
  • Vaccination records (official records from your country or previous healthcare providers)
  • List of current medications
  • Eyeglasses or hearing aids, if applicable
  • Payment for the exam (immigration physicals are not covered by insurance)

If you don’t have vaccination records, our clinic can provide blood tests (titers) or administer any missing vaccines during your visit.

Vaccination Requirements

USCIS requires proof of certain vaccinations for all applicants. Depending on your age and medical history, required vaccines may include:

  • MMR (measles, mumps, rubella)
  • Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis)
  • Polio
  • Varicella (chickenpox)
  • Influenza (during flu season)
  • Hepatitis B and others as required by CDC guidelines

Our staff will review your vaccination records and help you get up to date if needed.

What to Expect During Your Immigration Physical

Your immigration medical exam at Yakima Medical Clinic typically includes:

  1. Identity verification and review of required documents.
  2. Comprehensive medical history review, including past illnesses, surgeries, and medications.
  3. Physical examination performed by a USCIS-designated Civil Surgeon.
  4. Required laboratory testing, such as:
    • Tuberculosis (TB) screening
    • Syphilis blood test
    • Gonorrhea test (as required by USCIS)
  5. Vaccination verification and administration of any required immunizations.
  6. Completion of USCIS Form I-693, sealed in an official envelope for submission to immigration authorities.

You will also receive a copy of your exam results for your own records.

After the Exam

Once your examination and testing are complete, our Civil Surgeon will:

  • Fill out and seal Form I-693 in an official USCIS envelope (do not open this envelope).
  • Provide you with a copy of the completed form for your records.
  • Submit any additional test results or vaccination documentation required for your application.

You can then submit your sealed envelope directly to USCIS with your immigration paperwork.
