Immigration or Green Card Physical (I-693)
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) requires green card applicants to receive a full physical examination. At iMed Urgent Care, Ohio, we offer Immigration Physicals to help you with all aspects of your medical exam according to the US Department of Health and Human Services’ regulations. We make the entire process simple, stress-free, and efficient, so you can move forward with confidence on your immigration journey. We will help you complete all the requirements of Form I-693. They are performed by our Civil Surgeons approved by USCIS.
The main goal of this exam is to:

- Verify your vaccination history meets U.S. requirements.
- Ensure you’re free from certain contagious diseases.
It’s a kind of way to show you’re healthy and up to date on vaccinations, helping protect both you and the community.

What is an Immigration Medical Exam?
An immigration medical exam, sometimes called an INS physical or immigration physical exam, is a special health check required by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). It’s not the same as your annual physical but it’s designed specifically for immigration purposes. The goal is to make sure applicants don’t have certain infectious diseases, untreated medical conditions, or missing vaccinations that could affect public health or safety. The exam also ensures you meet the health standards set by USCIS before moving forward with your green card or immigration process.
Why do you need an Immigration Medical Exam?
If you’re applying for a green card or adjusting your immigration status, USCIS requires this exam as part of your application. Think of it as one of the boxes you need to check off before approval. The exam confirms you’re healthy enough to live in the U.S. and won’t pose a public health risk. Without it, your application won’t be complete, and USCIS won’t process it further. It’s one of the most important steps in the immigration process, so getting it done with the right Civil Surgeon makes things a lot smoother.
Where Can I Get an Immigration Physical Exam Near Me?
If you’re searching for an immigration exam near you, iMed Urgent Care makes the process simple. We have two convenient locations—Grove City and Columbus, Ohio , so whether you’re near the USCIS Columbus, OH field office or just in the surrounding area, we are available for you. Both locations have USCIS-designated Civil Surgeons ready to complete your exam and help with all the necessary paperwork.
Will my Medical Condition Affect my Immigration Application?
Not necessarily. Having a medical condition doesn’t automatically mean your application will be denied. USCIS mainly focuses on conditions that are considered a public health risk, such as untreated tuberculosis or certain contagious diseases. Common chronic conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, or asthma usually aren’t an issue, as long as they’re under control. During your exam, the Civil Surgeon will review your health history and guide you if any extra steps are needed.
Do I need to go to USCIS Columbus, OH for the exam?
No! The USCIS Columbus Oh Field Office doesn’t perform immigration exams. Instead, USCIS requires you to see a designated Civil Surgeon, like the doctors at iMed Urgent Care, Grove City. Once your exam is complete, we’ll give you a sealed Form I-693 envelope that you’ll submit along with your immigration paperwork. That way, when you do visit the USCIS office for your case, all your medical requirements are already taken care of.
