Your USCIS medical exam will explore your health history and current state through a combined review of your records and a physical examination. Depending on your age, the day may also involve blood tests for tuberculosis, syphilis, and gonorrhea, and potential additional diagnostic procedures like X-rays based on the civil surgeon’s assessment. Remember, USCIS regulations require all testing to be done by the same civil surgeon conducting your exam for a seamless and efficient process.

To ensure all bases are covered, your USCIS medical exam will include a review of your vaccination history. Please bring any existing immunization records you have, like those from childhood, school, or work. This helps us determine which vaccines, if any, are still needed for compliance with immigration requirements. Remember, the required vaccinations differ based on your age and specific health factors.

To get the full picture of your vaccination history, please bring any records you have, whether from childhood, school, or even your workplace. Don’t worry if they’re not in English – we can handle translations for you to ensure a smooth review. Remember, complete and accurate immunization records are key to meeting USCIS requirements.
