      I-693 Immigration Medical Exams

      Immigration Medical Exams Grand Rapids MI

      One step in gaining a Green Card is the completion of Form I-693, which is a record for the government of both your medical history and the results of a medical exam carried out by a civil surgeon.

      Dr. Naeem of Grand Rapids, MI, is a civil surgeon qualified to perform your I-693 Immigration Medical Exam.

      During your exam, Dr. Naeem will work with you to ensure that all of the medical information required for your Form I-693 is accounted for. You can expect to be tested for a series of conditions like tuberculosis and referred to other specialists if necessary. The end result is a signed and sealed Form I-693, ready to be submitted.

      Completing your Form I-693 starts with a phone call. Schedule your immigration medical exam at Elite Health today by calling ☎ (616) 226-9637 or contacting us here.

      What is the I-693 Immigration Medical Exam?

      For those who wish to become a lawful permanent resident in the United States, a civil surgeon must complete a Form I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) requires this to ensure that you do not have communicable diseases or other conditions that could prevent you from gaining a Green Card.

      You can be deemed inadmissible if you:

      • Are missing or lack vaccination records
      • Have a communicable disease of public health significance
      • Have mental or physical disorders with (current or a history of) associated harmful behavior
      • Have substance addiction or abuse

      If you don't already have one, you can find a copy of Form I-693 here.

      Completing Your Form I-693

      After your exam is complete, we will fill out the required sections of your Form I-693 and return it to you, completed and sealed in an envelope. It is your responsibility to submit the form to the USCIS. Do not open the envelope or change the form in any way.
