About This Service

USCIS Immigration
Medical Exams.

If you are applying for a green card or adjusting your immigration status in the United States, you are required to undergo a medical examination performed by a USCIS-designated civil surgeon. This examination is documented on Form I-693 (Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record) and is a mandatory component of the immigration application process.

At TrufaMED Urgent Care, our designated civil surgeon performs comprehensive immigration physicals that meet all current USCIS requirements. The examination includes a thorough physical assessment, mental health screening, review of vaccination history against CDC requirements, and required laboratory testing including blood work for syphilis and tuberculosis screening. We ensure that Form I-693 is completed accurately and completely, reducing the risk of delays or requests for evidence (RFEs) from USCIS that can slow your application.

Miami-Dade County has one of the largest immigrant populations in the United States, and our team understands the importance and urgency of the immigration process. We offer the exam in a professional, confidential, and welcoming environment, and our staff can assist patients who need language support. Because TrufaMED is Florida's only Joint Commission-accredited urgent care, you can be confident that your medical documentation meets the highest quality standards.

Exam Components

What the I-693 Exam
Includes.

01

Physical Examination

A comprehensive physical exam evaluating all major body systems as required by USCIS, including assessment of skin, eyes, ears, nose, throat, heart, lungs, abdomen, extremities, and neurological function.

02

Mental Health Screening

A mental health evaluation as mandated by USCIS to screen for conditions that may pose a risk to the applicant or the public. This is conducted sensitively and professionally as part of the standard exam.

03

TB Testing

Tuberculosis screening is mandatory for all immigration applicants. We perform either the tuberculin skin test (TST) or interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) blood test. If screening is positive, a chest X-ray is required and available on-site.

04

Blood Work

Required laboratory testing including syphilis serology (RPR). Additional blood tests may be required depending on age and vaccination history. All labs are processed through our CLIA-certified laboratory.

05

Vaccination Review

Review of your immunization history against current CDC vaccination requirements for immigration. If you are missing required vaccines, we can administer them during your visit to avoid delays in your application.

06

I-693 Form Completion

Your civil surgeon completes, signs, and seals Form I-693 in a tamper-evident envelope as required by USCIS. You receive the sealed form to submit with your immigration application or at your interview.

Important Information

What to Bring &
How to Prepare.

To ensure your immigration physical goes smoothly, bring the following to your appointment: your passport or government-issued photo ID, any available vaccination records (from your home country or the US), a completed but unsigned Form I-693 (Part 1 filled out by the applicant), and any prior medical records relevant to your health history. If you have had a positive TB test in the past, bring documentation of that result along with any previous chest X-ray reports.

The I-693 form is valid for two years from the date the civil surgeon signs it, but USCIS recommends completing the exam no more than 60 days before filing your immigration application. If too much time passes between the exam and your filing, you may need to be re-examined. Our team can advise you on the best timing based on your application timeline.

Regarding vaccinations, USCIS requires proof of immunization against a specific list of vaccine-preventable diseases as determined by the CDC. The current list includes vaccines for mumps, measles, rubella, polio, tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, rotavirus, meningococcal disease, varicella, pneumococcal disease, seasonal influenza, and COVID-19. If you are missing any required vaccines and do not have a medical contraindication, they must be administered before the I-693 can be completed. TrufaMED stocks all commonly required vaccines and can administer them during your visit, saving you an additional appointment. Walk in or book online to get started.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions.

How long does the immigration physical take?

+
Plan for approximately 1 to 2 hours for the complete examination, lab work, and any required vaccinations. If a TB skin test is performed, you will need to return in 48 to 72 hours for the reading. IGRA blood testing does not require a return visit.

How much does an immigration physical cost?

+
Immigration physicals are self-pay services not covered by insurance. The cost includes the civil surgeon examination, required lab work, and I-693 form completion. Vaccinations, if needed, are an additional cost. Call (305) 537-6396 for current pricing.

How long is the I-693 form valid?

+
Form I-693 is valid for two years from the date the civil surgeon signs it. However, USCIS recommends completing the exam no more than 60 days before filing your application to ensure the form does not expire during processing.

What if I have a positive TB test?

+
A positive TB screening test does not automatically disqualify you. If your TB test is positive, a chest X-ray is required to rule out active tuberculosis. TrufaMED has on-site digital X-ray so this can be completed immediately during the same visit. If the X-ray is normal, you will be cleared with documentation of latent TB.

Can I get required vaccinations at TrufaMED?

+
Yes. TrufaMED stocks all commonly required immigration vaccines and can administer them during your physical exam visit. This saves you from needing a separate vaccination appointment and avoids delays in completing your I-693 form.

Do I need to bring my vaccination records?

+
Yes, bring any vaccination records you have from your home country or the US. If you do not have records, the civil surgeon may accept serologic proof of immunity through blood testing, or you may need to receive the required vaccinations again.
