Immigration Physicals FAQ
1. What is an immigration physical?
An immigration physical—sometimes called a green card physical—is a medical exam required by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). It must be completed by a USCIS-designated civil surgeon (an approved immigration doctor). At Livingspring Family Medical Center, we make the process smooth by completing your exam, lab work, and vaccines in one convenient visit.
2. Why do I need to see a USCIS civil surgeon?
USCIS requires that only a certified civil surgeon can perform and sign off on your I-693 medical exam form. Our physician is a USCIS-designated immigration doctor, which means we can provide the official exam and documentation you need for your immigration application.
3. What should I bring to my immigration physical?
Please bring the following:
- A government-issued photo ID (such as your passport or driver’s license)
- Any vaccination records you have
- USCIS Form I-693 (if you already have it printed)
- A list of medications and your medical history
If you don’t have your vaccination records, don’t worry—we can provide most vaccines on-site.
4. Do you offer vaccinations and lab tests in your office?
Yes! To save you time, we provide in-house labs and most required vaccines on-site. This means you won’t need to travel to different clinics—we handle everything during your appointment.
5. How long does the process take?
Most immigration physicals can be completed in just one visit, depending on your vaccine and lab needs. Once your results are ready, you’ll receive your sealed I-693 form, ready to submit to USCIS.
6. Do you provide immigration physicals on Saturdays?
Yes! We understand busy schedules. That’s why we offer Saturday appointments and flexible scheduling to make your immigration exam as convenient as possible.

What is an immigration physical?
For those hoping to immigrate to the United States or obtain a Green Card once there, obtaining an immigration medical examination is an important part of the process. It must be fully completed before your application is processed or approved.
The immigration physical is a comprehensive medical examination that determines if there are any medical reasons that make your application inadmissible.
This physical examination must be carried out by a doctor who is approved by either the US Consulate that you use or by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
Dr. Olabintan and the team at Livingspring Family Medical Center are fully licensed to carry out this exam, and they are committed to doing so in a compassionate and supportive manner.
What is the purpose of an immigration physical?
The immigration physical ensures that those seeking to live in the United States do not have any diseases or health conditions that pose a threat to the public health of the nation. It can be thought of as a screening exam as opposed to a full consultation with a medical doctor.
The physician who performs your exam may not diagnose or treat any conditions they find. As such, it shouldn’t take the place of a normal doctor’s checkup.
There is a wide range of conditions that could lead to you being designated as inadmissible on medical grounds, including:
- Tuberculosis
- Hansen’s disease
- Gonorrhea
- Cholera
- Plague
- Smallpox
- Yellow fever
This is only a partial list. Consult with Dr. Olabintan at Livingspring Family Medical Center if you have questions regarding specific conditions that pertain to your situation.
What can I expect at my appointment?
Properly preparing for your appointment is very important to ensure that Dr. Olabintan accurately completes the examination. The US Department of State has a comprehensive list of documents and materials to bring to the examination, including:
- Your passport, identity card, laissez-passer, or travel document
- Your vaccination records
- Your immunization records
- Your previous chest X-rays
- Copies of your medical history records
During the appointment, Dr. Olabintan carefully reviews your medical history and immunization records to ensure that you don’t have any conditions that pose a public health threat.
She also conducts a thorough physical examination, as well as a chest X-ray. Certain blood tests are conducted to screen for further diseases.
Following your appointment, Dr. Olabintan and the Livingspring Family Medical Center staff will provide Form I-693, which is required in order for your immigration application to be processed.
