What Is an Immigration Physical?

An immigration physical, also known as a civil surgeon exam or green card exam, is a required medical evaluation for individuals applying for permanent residency in the United States. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) mandates that this exam be conducted by a certified civil surgeon to ensure applicants meet the country’s health and safety standards.

During the exam, the medical doctor will review your medical history, perform a physical assessment, and check for any communicable diseases. The process also includes reviewing your vaccination record and, if needed, administering vaccination shots or other immunizations to bring you up to date with U.S. public health requirements.

Why It Matters

Completing your immigration physical correctly and promptly can make a major difference in the progress of your green card application. Errors, missing vaccinations, or incomplete paperwork can cause unnecessary delays or even denial of your application. At Metro Medic Walk-In Medical, our experienced team understands the detailed requirements of the USCIS and ensures that all necessary steps are completed accurately.
