The I-693 form must be completed for anyone applying for an adjustment of status or Green Card (I-485).
Once you make an appointment, we will provide detailed instructions on what to expect. Generally, a blood draw and urine test is necessary. The specific tests will be based on the patient’s age and personal medical history and other health factors. Following the first visit, the applicant will be seen in clinic for a second follow-up visit. The entire process may take up to 14 days.
Instructions for your immigration physical:
You must bring all medical records including vaccinations and your Passport/VISA. Have them translated into English or bring a translator with you. **It is the responsibility of the applicant to have any record used for the Immigration Physical to be officially translated into English.
The following is a list of items you are required to bring to your examination:
- Your personal photo identification with a photo such as driver's license or Passport.
- I-693 form
- Vaccination Records
At Passport Health DFW, we stock all required vaccinations which can be given on the first or second visit.
Once the I-693 is completed, the original is provided in a sealed envelope for delivery to USCIS and a second copy is provided for your personal records.
