An immigration physical exam is required to immigrate to the United States and become a permanent resident or green card holder. The appointment is a standard part of the immigration process intended to ensure public safety and remove the risk of inadmissibility.  An immigration physical exam cannot be performed by any doctor. Applicants applying in the United States must visit a government-approved doctor called a “civil surgeon”.

  • Otherwise vaccinations will be a separate price.  Please contact our office to get a more accurate pricing on vaccinations since they can change.

Once your exam is complete, you will return to the clinic to review your results with the physician. You will submit your results to the government. Exam results must be signed by a civil surgeon no more than 60 days before you submit Form I-485. Your exam results are valid for two years from the signature date.
