Immigration Medical Exams
USCIS-authorized exams by a designated Civil Surgeon — a crucial checkpoint on your journey to permanent residency.
USCIS Immigration Medical Exam
Embarking on the path to a U.S. Green Card is an exciting journey, and an essential step is the immigration medical exam, also known as the green card medical examination. This critical examination is conducted by a designated Civil Surgeon authorized by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The exam evaluates applicants' health, ensuring compliance with USCIS vaccination guidelines.
The process includes a physical examination, a review of medical history and immunization records, and essential lab tests for infectious diseases.
The outcomes are pivotal in determining eligibility for permanent resident status. It's more than a formality — it's a crucial checkpoint in your journey toward achieving permanent resident status in the U.S.

We can conveniently provide the necessary vaccines in-house at a competitive price. Alternatively, you can obtain the vaccines from other providers or pharmacies and submit proof of immunization afterward.
