Choose a Doctor for Your Immigration Physical
The process of securing a green card can be a lengthy one. It also involves fulfilling numerous requirements, including completing the immigration physical.
The immigration physical itself is quite an involved process. To get started, you must find an eligible doctor to conduct your exam. If you’re applying for a green card within the United States, you will need to schedule your immigration medical exam with a U.S. Civil Surgeon.
You don’t have to spend a lot of time searching for an eligible doctor in California. Work with Dr. Alfaro-McField of Alfaro-McField, MD, and set your immigration physical appointment in San Bernardino, CA.
Decide When To Schedule Your Immigration Physical
Now that you’ve found a qualified doctor to conduct your immigration physical, you must decide when to complete it. There are two options for you to choose from here. You can finish the medical exam now and submit the doctor’s report at the same time as your green card application or send the green card application first, take the physical, and then bring the report to your interview.
Either option works, but you can save more time by submitting your exam report and green card application simultaneously. Just remember to schedule the physical close to your intended filing date to minimize the chances you’ll have to take it again.
Prepare the Necessary Documents for the Immigration Physical
With your application plan set, you can now focus on preparing the necessary documents for your immigration physical. Documents you must bring include your vaccination records, a copy of your medical history, a letter from your regular doctor detailing treatment plans for any medical conditions you have, copies of old chest X-rays, a government-issued photo ID, your health insurance card, and the payment for the immigration physical. Since you’re applying for a green card inside the U.S., you should also bring Form I-693 to your medical exam.
Undergo the Immigration Physical
If you’ve reached this point, you can now take the immigration physical. During the physical, the doctor will review your medical history, check your vaccines, test your blood and urine, and conduct screening for drugs and alcohol. The doctor will also perform physical and mental exams and a tuberculosis test.
Receive the Immigration Physical Results
Following the immigration physical, you will be given the exam results in a sealed envelope and a copy of it. Avoid opening the sealed envelope and only use the copy to check your results.
