Immigration Physicals

An immigration physical is a compulsory part of immigrating to the United States, as per the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Any individual applying for a U.S. green card or citizenship needs to go through the test. The procedure is intended to guarantee public safety and remove any potential grounds for refusal for prospective immigrants. USCIS and CDC-approved immigration physical medical exams are offered daily at Southwest Urgent Care by our authorized surgeons.

What Does an Immigrant Physical Look Like?

An immigration physical is like any routine physical exam that is taken as a preventive measure. One will have a thorough checkup from head to toe, and based on their age and general health, they may also be checked for additional physical and mental disorders. A passport, ID card, or travel document is required to bring to your immigration physicals. Southwest Urgent Care will complete your paperwork as required. After completing the physicals, our civil surgeon will sign and seal Form I-693 and any supporting documents. NOTE: Please note that, as directed by USCIS, the envelope seal should not be broken or altered in any way before the submission.

What Tests Are Taken During an Immigration Physical?

The screening exam, to check whether it is safe to allow one into the United States, typically includes the following tests:

A complete blood count (CBC)
Skin test
Eyes, ears, nose, and throat tests
