Immigration Physical
Service Description
An immigration physical is a necessary part of immigrating to the United States. This physical is needed in order to become a green card holder. Below, we share what’s involved with an immigration physical so you can feel more prepared for your exam. Preparing for your immigration physical Immigration physicals are required by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to ensure public safety and to remove any grounds for your inadmissibility. Per the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) guidelines, the following four conditions can mark you as inadmissible: - Failure to provide proof of vaccinations - A communicable disease that poses a threat to public health - A mental disorder linked to harmful behavior - Drug abuse and/or addiction Before you arrive to your immigration physical, it’s important to gather necessary paperwork, which makes the entire physical process as smooth as possible. You’ll need to bring: - Your immunization records - Any prior chest X-rays (if applicable) - A copy of your medical records - Your passport or other forms of international identification, including an identity card or travel document What to expect during your immigration physical? During an immigration physical you can expect a physical exam. A review of your medical history (including vaccine history), and any current test. Physical exam: During your exam, your doctor examines your eyes, ears, nose, throat, lymph nodes, skin, and extremities. Your provider also listens to your heart and lungs and palpitates your abdomen. In addition to the physical exam, be prepared to answer general questions about your health and wellness. Tests: Immigration physicals may include blood tests (a complete blood count) and chest x-rays. For individuals aged 15 and up, you will need a blood test to check for syphilis and a urine test to check for gonorrhea. Review of your medical history: Your past medical history includes surgical history, past illnesses, any medications you currently take, and any chronic conditions you have. This includes both physical and mental medical history. You will also answer drug and substance abuse screening questions. Review your vaccination record: All immigrants who are seeking permanent resident status must test for vaccine preventable diseases, including mumps, measles, rubella, polio, tetanus, hepatitis A and B, varicella, and meningococcal disease.
