A medical examination is a required part of the application procedure for a U.S. immigration visa. This test makes sure you fulfill the health-related requirements set forth by U.S. immigration law. Here is all the information you need to be ready.
1. Why Is the Medical Exam Required?
To ensure that applicants for visas do not have any physical or mental conditions, infectious diseases, or drug-related problems that could render them inadmissible, the U.S. government demands a medical examination. Additionally, it guarantees that candidates are current on specific immunizations.
2. Who Needs It?
The exam is typically required of applicants for immigrant visas (and some non-immigrant candidates altering their status in the U.S.). Although the examinations may differ according to age, they may be mandatory for all applicants, regardless of age.
3. Where to Get the Exam
A panel physician a doctor authorized by the U.S. embassy or consulate — must conduct the medical examination. You are unable to see your usual physician. A list of authorized clinics in your nation will be sent by the embassy or NVC.
4. What to Bring to Your Appointment
Bring the following items to your medical exam:
Passport
Appointment letter from the National Visa Center or U.S. embassy
Vaccination records
Any prior medical history or documentation of existing conditions
Recent passport-size photographs (check local clinic requirements)
Some clinics may require prior payment or a scheduled appointment — check their instructions carefully.
5. What Happens During the Exam
Typically, the medical examination consists of the following:
Physical examination
Chest X-ray (for applicants over 15)
Blood tests
Review and updates on vaccinations
mental health screening (if required)
Pregnant women and children may be excused from some exam sections. Based on your age and medical history, the doctor will decide which vaccinations are required.
6. Receiving the Results
The panel physician will either:
Give you a sealed envelope to bring to your visa interview (do not open it), or
Send the results electronically directly to the U.S. embassy or consulate
You may also get a personal copy of the results for your records.
