USCIS Medical Exams
We have performed hundreds of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) I-693 Medical Examinations helping immigrants in the Tampa Bay area during their residency application process. Our Bili staff will make the process hassle free and pleasant.
Below are a list of commonly asked questions
What is covered in the medical examination required to complete Form I-693 USCIS?
The four main illnesses included in the I-693 physical are Syphilis, Gonorrhea, Tuberculosis, and Hansen’s disease. To check for these illnesses, a physical examination, medical history, and serologic testing may be performed. A blood test for tuberculin (TB) will be administered to all individuals two years of age and above in order to screen for potential tuberculosis infection. The blood test known as the Interferon Gamma Release Assay (IGRA) is used to help diagnose M. tuberculosis infections. In contrast to the TB skin test, this test is unaffected by past BCG vaccination, and it is not anticipated that recipients of BCG would acquire a false-positive result. Age-related vaccine needs will differ, and if necessary, we will go over and talk about your best alternatives for immunizations.
When can I get an appointment?
We try our best to schedule an appointment for the day you contact us, or the earliest available day. While walk-ins are accepted, scheduling is usually preferable to minimize waiting. We try our best to arrange appointments at times that work best for you.
What do I need to bring for my exam?
You must present a picture ID, such as your driver’s license or passport, and any documentation you may have about your immunizations. It is not essential to bring the I-693 paperwork because we have them at our office.
How long will the exam take?
You should allow yourself about an hour to complete the necessary papers and the exam. Since we take great satisfaction in our efficiency and organization, exam times will often take less time.
When can I pick up my sealed papers?
After your test, your documentation should normally be available in four to seven business days. Depending on the tests that were run and the outcomes, this may change. The originals will be in an envelope that has been sealed and stamped, which USCIS will open. A copy of the documents will also be sent to you for your records.
