PROCESS
To Complete the I-693 medical examination form you need to meet three required parts
1. Communicable Disease Screening including blood and urine tests
2. Physical Exam
3. Vaccination.
* By USCIS Policy all laboratory tests should be ordered by authorized civil surgeon, NOT BY YOUR PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN
1. Communicable Disease Screening
(1) Tuberculosis (TB) – For all applicants 2 years of age and older.
-
You will be screened with tuberculosis blood test.
-
TB Blood Test: Because of the nature of the time sensitive test we don't do on-site blood drawing and we will give the order to use nearby blood drawing station of University of Michigan
-
The test is called the QuantiFERON-TB Gold Test. For this test, at least 3ml of a blood sample is required. Results are usually available in 3-5 days.
-
To comply the new change by USCIS TB skin test is not accepted, effective from 10/01/2018.
-
-
If the test result shows positive for TB, chest X-ray is required.
-
If the chest X-ray results show active TB lesion(s) or suspicious finding(s), the applicant is mandatorily referred to county health department for further evaluation/treatment.
(2) Syphilis
-
You will be examined by blood test.
-
If the test result shows positive, additional test is required for confirmation
(3) Gonorrhea urine test and Other communicable diseases will be assessed by civil surgeon
2. Physical Exam
This part includes physical or mental disorders with associated harmful behavior, drug abuse or addiction, and other medical conditions. Our civil surgeon will thoroughly review your medical record, then conduct a medical exam. Your medical records will be reviewed.
3. Vaccination (New COVID vaccine is required regardless of your past doses)
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) adopts specific vaccination criteria that would be required for any person who seeks an immigrant visa or adjustment of status for permanent residence. Therefore, all applicants must be up to date their vaccination before filing I-693.
-
If you have a vaccination record (i.e., proof of vaccination including the name of vaccine, date, and provider) and all vaccine requirements are met, our provider may not ask additional vaccination.
