How to Prepare for Your Immigration Physical Exam

At Triad Internal Medicine, we are proud to offer comprehensive immigration physical exams conducted by experienced physicians who are officially designated civil surgeons by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The immigration physical examination, also known as the immigration medical exam, is an essential step in the immigration process, and our dedicated team is fully authorized and qualified to perform this service.

Our civil surgeons at Triad Internal Medicine have completed specialized training and certification administered directly by USCIS, ensuring compliance with all federal immigration guidelines. During your immigration medical exam, our physicians will carefully review your medical history, conduct a thorough physical assessment, administer any required vaccinations, and evaluate medical conditions relevant to your immigration eligibility.

We are committed to providing meticulous and compassionate care, helping you meet all the health and legal requirements set forth by immigration authorities. Let our experienced team guide you smoothly through this important step in your immigration journey and about our services.

At Triad Internal Medicine, we offer comprehensive immigration physical exams to assist you and your family in meeting the necessary health requirements for immigration purposes. Our experienced, immigration-designated physicians provide thorough, compassionate care every step of the way to ensure a smooth and efficient examination process.

Your immigration medical examination will typically begin with a detailed review of your medical history, where our physicians will discuss any previous or current medical conditions, medications you’re taking, past hospitalizations, and your vaccination records.

Following this, our physicians will perform a complete physical examination, carefully assessing your vital signs, heart, lungs, abdomen, skin, and overall physical health. To ensure compliance with immigration health standards, we also conduct necessary lab tests and screenings, including blood tests to detect communicable diseases such as syphilis. Depending on your specific circumstances, we may also perform tests for tuberculosis, such as chest X-rays or tuberculin skin tests.

At Triad Internal Medicine, our team will thoroughly verify your vaccination history to ensure it meets immigration requirements. Vaccinations commonly required include measles, mumps, rubella, varicella, hepatitis B, influenza, pneumococcal pneumonia, and tetanus-diphtheria-pertussis. If you require additional immunizations, we can conveniently provide them during your visit.

Additionally, our practice emphasizes the importance of mental health and wellness. During your examination, our physician will evaluate your mental health, screening for conditions or substance use issues that could potentially affect your ability to function or pose a risk to yourself or the community. The physician will also ask about your history related to drug or alcohol use as part of this comprehensive evaluation.

Once the exam is complete, our physician at Triad Internal Medicine will prepare and complete all required immigration medical documentation accurately. We provide you with the completed and sealed official forms, ready for submission to immigration officials as part of your immigration application, or we can send documentation directly to the appropriate authorities, if required.

We understand the importance of the immigration physical examination in ensuring public health safety and facilitating your immigration journey. Our goal is to support your health and wellness, making your immigration medical exam process as seamless and stress-free as possible.

At Triad Internal Medicine, our healthcare providers emphasize personalized care by beginning every medical examination with a thorough review of your medical history and a thoughtful discussion of any current symptoms or health concerns you may have. Our providers will then perform a comprehensive physical examination, carefully checking vital signs such as your blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, temperature, and oxygen saturation. Depending on your age, gender, medical background, and current health status, our providers will also evaluate your heart, lungs, abdomen, skin, and neurological functions to ensure your well-being.

Alongside the physical examination, our providers may recommend various laboratory tests tailored specifically to your individual health needs. These tests often include blood screenings to assess cholesterol levels, blood sugar, kidney and liver function, a complete blood count to detect infections or anemia and electrolyte balance. Additionally, we may perform urinalysis to screen effectively for urinary tract infections, kidney conditions, and diabetes.

When further evaluation is needed, our team may order imaging studies such as X-rays, ultrasounds, CT scans, or MRIs to gain detailed insight into your internal structures and organs. We also offer specialized diagnostic testing, including electrocardiograms (EKGs or ECGs) to assess heart function, pulmonary function tests to determine lung capacity, and other specialized procedures based on your unique health profile and risk factors.

Our providers are committed to clear and open communication. We carefully explain the purpose and importance of each recommended test, ensuring you understand their role in helping maintain or improve your overall health and well-being.

At Triad Internal Medicine, we strive to ensure a smooth and efficient process for your immigration physical exam. Once you complete your examination at our practice, the timeframe for receiving results depends on several factors, including the specific tests conducted and our clinic’s processing schedule. Typically, results from standard assessments—such as blood tests, tuberculosis screenings, and vaccinations—become available within a few days to one week. However, if additional testing or follow-up evaluations are necessary, this may extend the timeframe slightly.

When all test results and evaluations are finalized, our civil surgeon at Triad Internal Medicine will complete and sign Form I-693, the official documentation required by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). We generally provide the sealed and signed form within one to two weeks following your exam, although this may vary based on our current patient load and the complexity of your medical evaluation. During your appointment, please feel free to discuss expected turnaround times or any other questions directly with your healthcare provider or our knowledgeable office staff. We are committed to supporting you throughout each step of your immigration medical process.
