Immigration Physicals

Immigration physicals are a medical exam required for certain U.S. visa and green-card applications. For children, the process needs a careful provider who knows the forms, the vaccine requirements, and how to make the visit calm. We complete the exam, review records, and hand the signed paperwork back to your family ready to file.

Care We Provide

Your visit includes

Form I-693 completed correctly

We fill out each section with care, sign and seal the envelope per USCIS requirements, and hand it back ready to include with your filing.

Vaccines per USCIS requirements

We review prior records (including foreign records) and give any catch-up vaccines needed to meet the CDC civil-surgeon schedule.

Foreign records welcomed

Bring vaccine records from any country — we translate common formats and credit the ones we can verify.

TB screening when required

For ages 2 and up, we administer the TB test or arrange a blood test (IGRA) per current USCIS guidance.

Clear communication with families

We explain each step in English or Spanish, answer questions, and never rush a family through immigration paperwork.

Gentle for young patients

Immigration visits can include multiple shots. We pace carefully, use comfort techniques, and make the visit as easy as possible.

Come Prepared

What to bring

A few small things ahead of the visit help us spend more time on your child — and less on paperwork.

  • Photo ID for parent + childPassport, state ID, or other government-issued identification for each person.
  • All vaccine recordsFrom every country your child has lived in. We work with what you have and help fill gaps.
  • USCIS form I-693 (if you have it)If you received a blank form in your filing package, bring it. Otherwise we use the current USCIS version.
  • Questions about the processWe’re not immigration attorneys, but we know the medical piece well — ask us anything about the exam or forms.

FAQs

Questions families ask

What is Form I-693 and do we need one?

Form I-693 is the medical exam report required by USCIS for most green-card (adjustment-of-status) applications. Your immigration attorney or the USCIS filing instructions will tell you if you need one. The form must be completed by a USCIS-designated civil surgeon.

Is Dr. Sugastti a civil surgeon?

Please call us to confirm current civil-surgeon status before booking. USCIS maintains the official list; we’ll tell you whether we can complete your I-693 directly or refer you to a nearby designated civil surgeon.

How long does the visit take?

Plan for 45 to 60 minutes. Longer if your child needs catch-up vaccines, TB testing, or if records need review. We schedule immigration physicals with extra time built in — no rushing.

Will my child need vaccines?

Possibly. USCIS requires specific vaccines from the CDC civil-surgeon schedule. If your child is up to date, we verify and sign off. If not, we bring them up to date at the visit when safe and appropriate.

What about records from another country?

Bring everything. We accept foreign vaccine records, translate common formats, and credit the doses we can verify. Missing records aren’t a dealbreaker — we fill in gaps safely.

How much does it cost?

Immigration physicals are not typically covered by insurance. Call us for a current quote — the price depends on vaccines needed and whether TB testing is required. We’re transparent about cost before we start.

How soon do we get the completed form?

For most cases, you leave with the completed, signed, and sealed I-693 in hand. If TB testing or outside records verification is needed, you may need a brief follow-up — we’ll let you know at the visit.
