Immigration

The United States immigration law requires immigrant visa applicants to obtain certain vaccinations prior to the issuance of an immigrant visa. Most applicants will need 2-3 medical visits. During the first visit, the physician will perform the medical examination and the Tuberculosis skin test. The applicant will be sent to the medical lab for a blood test for HIV/Syphilis and necessary test. The physician will also request immunization shots and vaccines if necessary. During your second visit, the physician will review the results of Tuberculosis test in order to determine if any other exams (chest X-Rays) is necessary. The last and final visit, the physician will review the results of the HIV/Syphilis and other blood tests necessary. The physician will then complete the I-693 form and sealed the form and medical results in an envelope.
