Prepare before booking the examination

A USCIS immigration medical examination must be completed by an authorized civil surgeon in the United States. Before scheduling, confirm the clinician’s current designation through official USCIS resources and ask what identification, vaccination records, medical history, and forms are required. Do not sign forms in advance when the civil surgeon’s instructions require otherwise.

Ask how missing vaccination documentation is handled, whether laboratory work is performed on site, what the total fee includes, and how long the completed paperwork normally takes. Keep copies of records where permitted and follow the clinic’s instructions for the sealed examination packet.

Questions for the clinic

• Is the physician currently listed as a civil surgeon?
• What documents and translations are needed?
• Which tests or vaccines may involve additional fees?
• When will the completed form be available?
• How are corrections handled?

Immigration requirements may change. Use current USCIS instructions and obtain legal advice from a qualified immigration attorney or accredited representative when needed.
