Why Immigration Physicals?
Each year, thousands of people begin the immigration process. This can be a difficult and frustrating process that requires individuals to complete many confusing forms and often wait long periods of time as they progress through the immigration system. One requirement that each applicant must complete is a medical evaluation by a Civil Surgeon designated by the INS.

This must be conducted at a designated medical facility and all the appropriate immigration medical forms (I-693 form) must be completed and signed precisely as required by government officials. The medical evaluation is straightforward and includes a physical, a review of the applicant’s medical history, an assessment of vaccine, and all government-required lab tests.

Please call us for any questions or for pricing. Any questions as to what specific vaccination is required will be answered by the civil surgeon during the exam.
