What actions may USCIS take if the initial medical examination submission is incomplete or if updates are deemed necessary?

If the initial medical examination submission is incomplete or if USCIS determines updates are necessary for a specific case, USCIS may request updated medical examinations and vaccinations to ensure that all required information is accurately provided.

What are the key points applicants need to consider despite the removal of the 60-day rule?

Applicants should be aware that even though the 60-day rule for civil surgeon signatures has been eliminated, they still need to ensure that their medical examination is conducted within the required validity period. Additionally, USCIS may ask for updated medical examinations or vaccinations if the initial submission is incomplete or if deemed necessary by the officer handling the case. Therefore, applicants must not delay their medical examination, as timely compliance with the validity period guidelines is crucial for successful processing of their applications.

Do immigrants applying for U.S. Citizenship or a green card need to undergo a full physical exam?

All applicants for adjustment of status and some applicants for citizenship are required to have a medical examination. The medical examination must be conducted by a civil surgeon who has been designated by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS). The designated civil surgeon is responsible for the entire medical examination, and will record the results on the required forms. Additionally, the required medical exam consists of a physical examination, a TB blood test, serologic (blood) and urine tests tests as well as vaccines. This thorough process ensures that applicants meet the health standards set by the USCIS for approval of their U.S. citizenship or green card application. Rest assured that the designated civil surgeon will follow the strict guidelines outlined by the government to ensure all necessary aspects of the medical examination are completed accurately and in accordance with the USCIS requirements.

What does the removal of the 60-day rule mean for applicants and civil surgeons?

The removal of the 60-day rule signifies a significant change for applicants and civil surgeons involved in immigration applications. This change eliminates the requirement for civil surgeons to sign Form I-693 within 60 days of their medical examination, thereby allowing more flexibility in the process. For applicants, this means they no longer need to be concerned about strict timing requirements for submitting their medical examination results. Civil surgeons, on the other hand, now have the freedom to sign Form I-693 at any time, removing the previous time constraint that could sometimes cause logistical challenges. Overall, the removal of the 60-day rule is expected to streamline and simplify the immigration application process for all parties involved, making it a favorable development for applicants, civil surgeons, USCIS officers, federal partners, and other stakeholders.

What documents are applicants required to bring to their appointment?

When attending their appointment, applicants need to ensure they bring several specific documents to facilitate a seamless process:

For applicants under 14, the identification should include their name, birthdate, birthplace, and the full names of their parents, typically found on a birth certificate.
Vaccination Records: Candidates should bring any available vaccination records. Those without prior records will have alternatives discussed during their visit with Dr. Peña, including getting vaccines at the clinic, through their personal doctor, or at a local pharmacy. Blood antibody tests are another available option.
Current Medication List: It’s important for applicants to provide a list detailing all the medications they are currently taking.
Tuberculosis (TB) Certification: Applicants previously diagnosed and treated for TB should provide a certification from their doctor confirming the diagnosis and treatment.
Syphilis and Gonorrhea Clearance Certificate: Those who have been diagnosed and treated for syphilis must present a clearance certificate from either a doctor or health official.
COVID-19 Vaccination Documentation: Finally, documentation showing completion of the COVID-19 vaccine series is required.
Bringing these documents will ensure that applicants have everything needed for their appointment.

What types of questions will Dr. Sherif Hassan ask during the examination?

During your examination, Dr. Hassan will conduct a comprehensive evaluation by asking questions designed to understand your overall mental and emotional health. This will include inquiries about your mood, stress levels, and daily functioning to identify any potential issues. Additionally, Dr. Hassan will screen for any signs of substance abuse or behaviors that might pose a risk to your safety or the well-being of others. This thorough questioning helps ensure a holistic view of your health and aids in providing the best care possible.

What infectious disease are the applicants required to be free of?

In the screening process for applicants, there are specific health requirements that must be met to proceed further. Essential to this is the absence of particular infectious diseases. Applicants must be tested and show no signs of tuberculosis, syphilis, and gonorrhea. These tests typically involve blood and urine samples to ensure accuracy. Should an applicant test positive for any of these conditions, they are mandated to undergo treatment and attain a clean bill of health before they are allowed to move forward in the immigration process.
