Embarking on an immigration journey to the United States can be an exciting but often complex process. For many individuals and families, a crucial step involves the immigration medical examination and Form I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record.

At Chantilly Family Medicine, we understand the importance of this requirement and are dedicated to providing thorough, compassionate, and efficient medical exams for immigration purposes right here in Chantilly, VA.

What is Form I-693?

Form I-693 is a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) document that certifies an applicant has undergone a medical examination by a designated civil surgeon. This exam is required to determine if an applicant has any health conditions that would render them inadmissible to the United States under health-related grounds.

Who needs it? Typically, applicants for adjustment of status to permanent resident (Green Card) or certain other immigration benefits will need to submit a completed Form I-693.

Why is the Medical Exam Necessary?

The immigration medical exam serves several important purposes:

1. Public Health Protection: It helps prevent the spread of communicable diseases of public health significance in the United States.
2. Vaccination Verification: It ensures applicants meet U.S. vaccination requirements.
3. Identification of Certain Conditions: It screens for specific physical or mental disorders with associated harmful behavior, or drug abuse/addiction, that could impact public safety.

What Does the Immigration Medical Exam Entail?

When you schedule your I-693 medical exam at Chantilly Family Medicine, you can expect a comprehensive evaluation that includes:

• Physical Examination: A general check-up covering your basic health status.
• Review of Medical History: Discussion of your past illnesses, surgeries, and current medications.
• Mental Health Evaluation: A brief assessment to screen for certain mental health conditions.
• Tuberculosis (TB) Testing: A PPD skin test or, in some cases, a chest X-ray or blood test (IGRA).
• Syphilis and Gonorrhea Testing: Blood tests for these conditions.
• Vaccination Record Review: Our team will review your existing vaccination records to ensure you meet the required U.S. vaccination schedule. If any vaccines are missing or not up-to-date, we can administer them during your visit, ensuring compliance.

Important Note: The medical examination does not involve an HIV test unless specifically required for certain applicants.
