Frequently Asked Questions

Does health insurance cover the cost of the immigration physical?

While immigration physical administrative fees are generally out-of-pocket, if you have private health insurance, the mandatory laboratory blood and urine tests may be covered under your specific plan.

Where do I get my required immigration vaccinations?

You have the flexible option to obtain any missing vaccinations at any external local pharmacy using your prescription insurance or preferred payment method.

What if I received my vaccines but lost my official vaccination records?

If you have previously received all your required vaccines but lack physical proof or documentation, you do not necessarily need to get the shots again. You can opt for a blood test (titer) to check for protective antibodies from prior vaccinations in your bloodstream. We accept existing blood test results for vaccination-related antibodies, or we can order them for you.

How long does a USCIS medical exam take to complete?

The laboratory results for required blood and urine tests typically take a several business days to return. Once all lab tests are finalized and your vaccination requirements are fully satisfied—either via documented proof, clinic vaccines, or positive antibody blood tests—Dr. Jasthi will complete, sign, and seal your Form I-693 envelope.

What medical screening tests are required during the immigration physical?

Per USCIS public health guidelines, the medical check-up includes a comprehensive physical exam, a review of your vaccination history, and mandatory laboratory screenings. This includes blood tests for Syphilis and Tuberculosis (TB), as well as a urine screening for Gonorrhea, depending on the applicant's age.

Will I receive a copy of my completed Form I-693?

Yes. You will receive the official, legally sealed envelope containing your signed Form I-693, which you must submit unopened directly to the USCIS or your immigration attorney. We will also email you a separate, electronic copy of the completed exam results for your personal records.
