What to bring to an I-693 immigration medical exam

A little preparation can prevent repeat work. Your immigration concierge helps you understand what to bring and how missing documents affect your visit.

Your immigration concierge helps organize records, explains the next appointment, and coordinates follow-up with the care team. The civil surgeon reviews the medical requirements and completes Form I-693 when the required steps are finished.

Core package starts at $350 self-pay. The civil surgeon exam and core immigration labs are included; vaccines, titers, imaging, and other case-specific services may cost extra.

Prepare your appointment folder

Know the purpose of your visit before you arrive. Your concierge and clinical team help you understand the records, medical requirements, and appointments needed for your I-693.

Core documents

Bring a passport or government-issued photo ID, vaccine records with dates, certified English translations for non-English documents, USCIS notices or attorney instructions, and prior TB, chest X-ray, syphilis, gonorrhea, or treatment records if they apply.

Medical history

Bring medication lists, allergy information, and records for prior TB, chest X-ray, syphilis, gonorrhea, or other relevant follow-up.

Family visits

Each applicant needs individual ID, records, testing, vaccine review, and Form I-693 documentation.

Translations matter

Non-English records should have reliable English translations so the civil surgeon can determine what can be documented.

Do not rely on memory

Self-reported vaccine history without acceptable documentation may not be enough for Form I-693.

Bring deadlines early

Attorney instructions, I-485 timing, and RFEs should be discussed before the visit starts.

  • Bring a passport or government-issued photo ID and the USCIS notices or attorney instructions you have.
  • Gather vaccine records with dates, including records from overseas and outside pharmacies.
  • Bring certified English translations when records are not in English.
  • Include relevant TB, chest X-ray, lab, or treatment records and a current medication list.

If something is missing

  • Bring partial records rather than delaying without speaking to the team.
  • Ask prior providers, schools, or pharmacies for copies of vaccination records.
  • The medical team will explain whether additional documentation, vaccines, titers, or testing are needed.
  • Tell your concierge about your deadline so the team can discuss realistic appointment and completion timing.

Clear costs and a realistic completion plan

The core immigration medical exam package starts at $350 self-pay and includes the civil surgeon exam and core immigration lab work. Vaccines, titers, chest X-rays, confirmatory tests, and selected expedited review cost extra when needed or requested. We explain those items before they are added.

Your final appointment depends on complete records, required test results, vaccine documentation, any follow-up, and civil surgeon availability. Tell the team your deadline when you book so they can explain the steps and available appointments for your case.

The civil surgeon gives you the signed Form I-693 in a sealed envelope. For a mailed Form I-485 application, submit the original sealed envelope. If you are eligible to file Form I-485 online, USCIS instructs you to open the envelope and upload the completed Form I-693. Keep the original form and envelope until USCIS makes a final decision. Check the current USCIS instructions for your filing method before opening or submitting it.
Keep the full USCIS notice and contact the immigration medical team so they can review the medical-document request and explain the next step. Your attorney can advise on the response deadline and filing requirements.
