What the civil surgeon does
- Reviews the applicant's medical history and performs the required exam.
- Orders or reviews required testing according to CDC technical instructions.
- Reviews vaccination records and documents required vaccine status on Form I-693.
- Completes and signs Form I-693 when all required steps are complete.
- Provides sealed-packet handling instructions for USCIS submission.
Why the right records matter
- Self-reported vaccine history without written documentation is not enough for Form I-693.
- Vaccine records should include month, day, and year whenever possible.
- Non-English records should have reliable English translations.
- Prior TB or syphilis treatment records can prevent confusion during required follow-up review.
