INTRODUCTION AND MISSION

Our goal is to keep the medical part
of the Immigration process simple and transparent.

Our approach thus is clear and lays out all involved costs with no hidden charges.

To make the process simple, we have an on-site lab at the office for blood and urine tests

The Immigration Physical Exam

THE EXAM

Immigration Physical Exam and Mental Status Evaluation by the Civil Surgeon are conducted at our office.Same day appointments are available by calling our office at (281) 240-0311

LABS

You do not need to be fasting for blood/urine tests. Adults (above age 15) are required to have: A serologic blood test for Syphilis (RPR) Tuberculosis blood test (IGRA test) – Ages 2 and above. Neisseria Gonorrhea Urine test Proof of vaccinations or blood test showing immunity. Most will require proof of vaccination for Tetanus-Diphtheria Td, Measles, Mumps, Rubella and Varicella (Chicken Pox)

VACCINATIONS

If you have no proof of vaccinations or blood tests to prove immunity, you will need to get vaccinations as determined by the Civil Surgeon. Our office can help you with locations for vaccinations that are appropriate for your age. You will then proceed to a location of your choice and receive vaccinations and bring evidence of vaccination back to the office. The cost of vaccinations is not included in the price of the exam and is payable directly to the vaccination provider.

Returning to the Office

As a final step, you will need to return to the office in approximately 7-10 days. This time period will allow for test results to come back and vaccinations to be taken. During this visit, the doctor will complete Form I-693 and seal the form in an envelope for you to submit to USCIS and provide you a copy for your personal records. Please note that USCIS will not accept the form if the envelope has been opened or altered.

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

What if Quantiferon is Positive?

As Per CDC Guidelines, A Positive Quantiferon Test Will Need A Chest X-Ray To Be Done And A Mandatory Report To State Health Servces Will Havet To Be Made. If The Chest X-Ray Is Normal, This Should Not Impact The Immigration Process.

Could I need other treatment?

Yes. If the other tests for Syphilis or Gonorrhea are positive, you may be referred for treatment before the Immigration paperwork can be advanced.
