What to Expect During Your Immigration Medical Exam (Form I-693)

Starting Your Immigration Journey? We’re Here to Help.

If you're applying for a green card or adjusting your immigration status, one important step in your process is completing a USCIS-approved immigration medical exam. At Lam Medical Services in Fort Wayne, we know that the process can feel overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to be. Here’s what you can expect during your visit with us.

What Is an Immigration Medical Exam?

The immigration medical exam, officially called Form I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record, is a required health check by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). It ensures that applicants do not have any health conditions that would make them inadmissible to the United States.

Only a USCIS-certified civil surgeon—like the one at Lam Medical Services—can perform this exam.

What Happens During the Exam?

Your visit typically includes the following steps:

1. ID & Paperwork – Bring a valid government-issued photo ID and any vaccination records you have.

2. Medical History Review – We’ll ask a few health questions and go over your immunization history.

3. Physical Exam – A certified civil surgeon will conduct a basic physical check-up.

4. TB & Lab Tests – You’ll be tested for tuberculosis (via blood test) and possibly other required screenings.

5. Vaccinations – If you’re missing any required vaccines, we can administer them on-site.

6. Sealed Results – We’ll complete and seal your Form I-693 so it’s ready to submit to USCIS. You’ll also receive a personal copy.
