Immigration Civil Surgeon’s Role in Medical Exams

Navigating the complexities of the U.S. immigration process involves various procedural steps, and one critical aspect is the medical examination conducted by an Immigration Civil Surgeon. USCIS (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services) appoints specific physicians, referred to as civil surgeons, to conduct the mandatory immigration medical examination for the majority of green card applicants.

As a health clinic that accepts Medicare in Garland, Texas, we strive to provide you with our immigration medical exams. Our USCIS-approved civil surgeon conducts a comprehensive medical assessment as part of the immigration examination process.

Our civil surgeon will carefully review your medical history and perform a physical examination. Depending on age, the civil surgeon will also conduct tests for communicable diseases, such as tuberculosis and COVID-19, as mandated by the CDC.

Amazing Health Partners suggests you bring the following requirements to your medical examination:

• Form I-693, Report of Medical Examination, and Vaccination Record
• Government-issued photo identification, such as a valid passport or driver’s license. For individuals aged 14 or younger, provide identification displaying your name, date, place of birth, and parent’s full name. Acceptable forms of identification include your birth certificate (with an English translation) or an affidavit.
• Vaccination or immunization record covering DT, DTP, DTaP, Td, Tdap, OPV, IPV, MMR, Hib, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, varicella, pneumococcal influenza, rotavirus, meningococcal disease, and COVID-19
• Health insurance card. Inquire if the civil surgeon accepts your medical plan for immigration medical examinations, as coverage may vary among health insurance plans, including Medicaid in Garland.
• Payment. Check with our walk-in clinic in Garland regarding acceptable forms of payment.
