The amount of time you can expect to be in the physical can vary. We need to do some lab work and carefully go over a detailed history of your physical and mental health. These exams can take up to an hour depending on the complexity. 

Please be aware, depending on the results of the lab work you may be required to either complete some medical treatments and/or get x-rays. This will extend the time of return on your paperwork. We cannot complete the paperwork until all lab work is complete and clear by USCIS standards. We do not make these rules. 

In our examination we offer:

• Immunization review (however, immunizations themselves are not included). 
• Physicals
• TB tests, blood work & urine tests 
• Certified copies ready for your lawyer/INS & a copy for you. 

Almost every permanent residence applicant in order prove that health-related issues do not prohibit them from admission into the United States.

The medical exam provides the USCIS departs with grounds of inadmissibility. The examination, and vaccinations of foreign nationals are designed to protect the health of the United States people.

The immigration medical examination, the resulting examination report, and the vaccination record provide the information USCIS uses to determine if a potential immigrant meets the health standards for admissibility.

Four basic medical conditions may make an applicant inadmissible:

• Infections diseases that pose a threat to public health
• An immigrant’s failure to show proof of required vaccinations
• Physical or mental disorder with associated harmful behavior
• Drug abuse or addiction

In general it is best to submit Form I-693 as part of the adjustment of status package. When you submit a complete application package, you make it easier for USCIS officers to give you a speedy approval.

Medical reasons for denial include clinically diagnosed physical or mental disorders that deem an individual as a threat to property, others,
or themselves.

Please note some examples for delayed timing and setbacks:

• If a person has a positive STD test they will require treatment prior to final approval for paperwork.
• If a person has a positive tuberculosis test they will require XRAY to verify.
• If a person is missing vaccines they will need to get them and have proof of vaccination. We can review this with you.
