The Exam
The full immigration exam is very
simple and requires only 4 basic steps
:
- Basic immigration physical exam
and mental status evaluation
- Blood Test: Applicants age 15
and older are required to have a
blood test for Syphilis
- Tuberculosis skin test:
Applicants age 2 and older are
required to have a tuberculin skin
test (TST) performed. This test
requires a return visit to the
office within 48 – 72 hours after
administration. If the test reading
is greater than 5 mm of induration,
a chest X-ray will be required. The
cost of the X-ray is not included in
the price of the immigration exam
but can be scheduled through our
office for an additional fee. If
applicants have had a prior positive
skin test, a blood test or chest
X-ray at an additional charge will
be done.
- Proof of vaccinations or blood
Titer to prove immunity. Most adults
require proof of vaccination for
Tetanus-Diphtheria Td (within the
last 5 years), Measles, Mumps,
Rubella and Varicella (Chicken Pox).
Blood Titer is a test that proves
that a person has immunity or
antibodies for a particular disease.
We will review your vaccination
history with you to determine
whether you have all the required
vaccinations. The cost of additional
vaccinations is not included in the
price of the basic exam but they are
offered through our office for an
additional fee. Please bring all
vaccination records to your
scheduled appointment for the
immigration physical.

After The Exam
After the immigration physical
examination is completed, Dr Rose will
certify Form I-693 with the test
results of the immigration exam and
vaccination history in a sealed
envelope to present to USCIS. DO NOT
OPEN THE SEALED ENVELOPE. Turn in the
envelope with your immigration
application. If requested, a copy of
your blood tests results will be
provided for you to keep after results
have been discussed with the examining
doctor. The examination will only be
valid up to a year after the
immigration exam date.
