- Medical Examination of Aliens Seeking
Adjustment of Status |
|
|
Purpose | Generally, all applicants filing for adjustment of status to that of a lawful permanent resident must submit Form I-693 completed by a designated civil surgeon. Form I-693 is used to report results of a medical examination to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The examination is required to establish that an applicant is not inadmissible to the United States on public health grounds.
A list of those health grounds can be found in section 212(a)(1) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. | |

Where to File |
After completion of the medical examination, the civil surgeon is required to give you, the applicant, the completed Form I-693 in a sealed envelope. Do not accept it if it is not in a sealed envelope. USCIS will return the form to you if it is not in an envelope or if the envelope has been opened or altered. You, the applicant, not the civil surgeon, are required to submit the Form I-693 to USCIS. If you are applying for adjustment of status: Submit Form I-693 together with your Form I-485, Application to Register for Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, as detailed in the instructions to Form I-485. Other applicants: Follow the instructions on or included with the application or the instructions given to you by the office requesting the medical examination.

| Filing Fee |
None.
Note that USCIS does not regulate fees charged by civil surgeons for medical examinations. Fees may vary by physician. |
