Form I-693 Immigration Medical Exams in Stoughton, MA

Form I-693, Report of Immigration Medical Examination and Vaccination Record, is used to document the results of an immigration medical examination completed by a USCIS-designated civil surgeon. For applicants who are subject to health-related grounds of inadmissibility, the form provides USCIS with medical information needed as part of the immigration review process.

The immigration medical examination helps assess specific health-related requirements established under U.S. immigration law. These may include communicable diseases of public health significance, required vaccinations, certain physical or mental health conditions associated with harmful behavior, and other designated medical classifications. The civil surgeon records applicable examination findings and vaccination information on Form I-693.

At Centered Primary Care, we can help patients complete the medical examination required for Form I-693. Our team focuses on careful documentation, clear guidance, and helping applicants understand each step involved in completing their immigration medical requirements.

Form I-693 provides USCIS with medical information used to determine whether an applicant may be affected by health-related grounds of inadmissibility. The medical examination is not intended to evaluate every possible health condition. Instead, it focuses on specific medical issues identified under U.S. immigration requirements.

Information evaluated during the process may include:

• Communicable diseases of public health significance
• Required vaccination status
• Certain physical or mental disorders associated with harmful behavior
• Substance-related medical classifications when applicable
• Other findings that require classification under immigration medical guidelines

The civil surgeon documents relevant findings so USCIS can review whether medical requirements have been satisfied or whether additional action may be necessary.

At Centered Primary Care in Stoughton, MA, Dr. Roberto Amado, MD, MHA, and our team perform immigration medical examinations according to applicable USCIS and CDC requirements. Our team helps patients understand the medical portion of the process while ensuring that required findings and documentation are carefully recorded on Form I-693.

Form I-693 records information from the applicant’s immigration medical examination and vaccination assessment. The civil surgeon reviews the applicant’s medical history, performs the required physical examination, evaluates relevant physical and mental health findings, and documents results of required testing or additional evaluations when applicable.

Information recorded may include:

• Medical history and physical examination findings
• Required communicable disease screening results
• Relevant physical or mental health classifications
• Vaccination history supported by acceptable records
• Vaccines administered during the immigration examination
• Documented immunity when acceptable
• Medical reasons why a required vaccine may not be appropriate

CDC requires civil surgeons to review available written vaccination records and document acceptable vaccination history and applicable immunity on Form I-693.

At Centered Primary Care, our team carefully reviews medical and vaccination records as part of the Form I-693 examination. We can also explain whether additional vaccination, testing, documentation, or follow-up may be needed before the form can be completed.

Most applicants applying to adjust their status to become lawful permanent residents are required to submit Form I-693 completed by a designated civil surgeon. The medical examination helps demonstrate whether the applicant meets applicable health-related immigration requirements. However, the exact requirements can vary according to an applicant’s immigration category and previous medical examination history.

Certain applicants may have different requirements. For example:

• Many adjustment-of-status applicants require a complete Form I-693.
• Some applicants may require only specific portions, such as the vaccination record.
• Refugees adjusting status may generally need a vaccination assessment rather than another complete immigration medical examination when applicable requirements have already been addressed.
• Individual circumstances can affect which portions of the form must be completed.
