All frequently asked questionsWho is allowed to perform the exam?
Only a physician USCIS has designated as a civil surgeon. A medical license alone is not enough, and a form signed by a doctor who is not designated will not be accepted. Every clinic in our network is led by a designated civil surgeon, and you can confirm any doctor’s designation yourself on the official USCIS Find a Doctor locator at my.uscis.gov/findadoctor.
When should I get the exam?
Before you file. Since December 2, 2024, most people filing Form I-485 must include the sealed I-693 in the same package, and USCIS may reject an I-485 that arrives without it. Because the form is also tied to the one application it is filed with, the practical approach is to book the exam once the rest of your filing is nearly ready. If an attorney is handling your case, follow their timing.
How long is the I-693 valid?
Forms signed on or after November 1, 2023 no longer expire on a calendar date. Under the policy that took effect June 11, 2025, however, a form is valid only for the application it was filed with. If that application is denied or withdrawn, you will need a new exam for any future application. Forms signed before November 1, 2023 keep the older two-year window.
Is there a drug test?
A drug screen is not part of the routine immigration medical exam. The civil surgeon takes a medical history, which includes questions about drug and alcohol use, and must record the findings accurately. How any part of your history bears on your case is a legal question, so if it worries you, speak with an immigration attorney before your appointment. A reputable clinic will never coach you on what to say.
What happens if my TB test is positive?
A positive blood test does not mean you have active tuberculosis. You will need a chest x-ray. If the x-ray is normal and you have no symptoms, CDC classifies the result as latent TB infection (Class B2), and treatment is not required to complete your immigration medical exam. The result is reported to the local health department, and treating latent TB is still worth doing for your own health.
How much does the exam cost?
Each clinic in our network publishes its exam fee on its clinic page, together with a line-by-line list of what the fee includes and what is billed separately. Vaccines you still need and a chest x-ray, if one is required, are usually extra. Most health insurance plans do not cover the immigration medical exam because it is required for an immigration benefit rather than for treatment.
