Welcome to i693la.com. We provide medical exams, lab tests, and vaccines needed for the USCIS Form I-693.
What are the i693 forms?
Form I-693 is used to report results of a medical examination to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The examination is required to establish that you are not inadmissible to the United States on public health grounds.
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has the duty of monitoring these possible health risks through an immigration physical, the USCIS Medical Exam. This exam is documented through the I-693 Form, which must be completed prior to permanent resident applications for individuals entering the United States.
Following the immigration exam, the USCIS then determines if applicants will be admitted to residence in the United States. This article will cover the important facts and questions concerning Form I-693.
The Purpose of Form I-693
The USCIS requires Form I-693 to determine if foreign nationals relocating to the United States pose a health risk or possible harm to U.S. citizens.
Almost all individuals applying for permanent residence must first visit a USCIS authorized doctor to undergo a physical and mental exam that must be filled out and sealed in an envelope by the physician.
It is encouraged that you undergo the immigration medical examination close to the time you file your Form I-485, because your Form I-693 is only valid for 2 years from the date of the civil surgeon’s signature. After the 2-year time frame, you must submit a new Form I-693.
