Form I-693 (Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record) is a very useful and necessary document for the applicants of the status of adjustment. If you applying for adjusting your status to become a lawful permanent resident of the U.S., Form I-693 will help you to establish the ground that you are not inadmissible to the U.S. based on public health constraints.

This form is specifically designed by USCIS to detect communicable diseases like tuberculosis, syphilis, HIV, AIDS, etc., and to verify the applicant’s mandatory vaccination record. This form consists of three sections; one section is about applicants’ general information that is required to fill out by the applicant and the other two sections are related to a medical examination conducted by the doctor that must be filled out by the USCIS designated doctors ‘Civil Surgeons’ or Panel Physician and get signed it before sending it to USCIS. 

The list of authorized doctors for medical examination is maintained by USCIS and the U.S. Department of State;

  • For applicants inside the U.S., Civil Surgeons are the authorized doctors (designated by USCIS) to conduct the medical exam and to document the results of the medical exam on form I-693. 
  • While, for applicants outside the U.S., panel physicians are the authorized doctors (approved by the U.S. Department of State) to conduct the medical examination and to fill out Form I-693. 

Applicants cannot use their personal physician for this examination. You can get Form I-693 from the doctors’ office or can download it from USCIS official website. As the USCIS updates Form I-693 over time, so you must use the new edition of Form I-693, otherwise, USCIS will return the old form and will ask you to resubmit the updated form and your status adjustment process will be prolonged.

To solve your ambiguity regarding the revised form, our website: https://immigrationmedicalexam.info/ will give you access to the latest edition of Form I-693.
