Embarking on the path to permanent residency in the U.S. involves several important steps, and the immigration medical exam is one of them. This exam, required by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), ensures that all applicants meet certain health standards for the well-being of our communities. Understanding what to expect can help make the process smoother and less stressful.
Why is the Immigration Medical Exam Required?
The primary purpose of the immigration medical exam is to identify any health conditions that could pose a public health risk. This includes screening for communicable diseases and ensuring that applicants have received the necessary vaccinations to protect both themselves and the community. The results of your exam are documented on the I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record, which is then submitted to USCIS.
