There are potentially endless reasons why someone would want to migrate to the United States; Improved healthcare, a good education system, enhanced security and improved infrastructure are just a few compelling reasons why someone would want to move to the United States.
The Green Card initiative allows many people across the planet the opportunity to realize their American dream by becoming a resident of the United States. When a Green Card candidate applies for a green card, they undergo a comprehensive medical examination, which is performed by a physician, who is authorized by the United States Citizen and Immigration Services (USCIS).
Military physicians are equally authorized to perform immigration medical examinations, however, if a military physician performs the exam, it must be done within a military hospital, or military medical facility.
The Immigration Physical Exam involves several steps, which include drug and alcohol screening, mental and physical evaluation, a review of the applicant’s medical history and immunization records as well as extensive tests for various illnesses and diseases.
There are two options through which you can schedule for an examination. First, you can have the exams before you start the green card application process. This implies that you would be able to submit the results of your medical examination together with your application details. However, there is a risk involved with this option; an applicant may be forced to repeat the medical examination process if the USCIS fails to schedule the green card interview before the expiry date of your initial exams. Of course, the second option is to go for the medical exams after you’ve got a green card application. This means that you would be able to submit the results of the medical exam during the green card interview.
The United States’ Department of State explicitly instructs applicants to schedule a medical exam only after being notified of the date of their green card interview.
It is highly advisable for any applicant to bring along any essential document(s) they have; this allows the screening process to be smooth and effortless. Some of the most essential documents which must be brought during the visit include:
