Who is responsible to pay for the medical examination?

The applicant is required to pay for the Immigration Medical Examination. All doctor and laboratory fees for every exam taken have to be borne by the applicant. The USCIS Medical Exam cost has to be necessarily paid up by applicant for any adjustment of status.

What is the form that is required to be filled up for the Medical Examination?

When an applicant applies to the Immigration authorities for adjustment of status in the US, the Form I-693, or the Medical Examination of Aliens Seeking Adjustment of Status has to be filled up. This is a report of the results of the applicant’s Medical Examination conducted and the various vaccinations administered.

If the applicant is applying from overseas, what is known as Form DS-2053 is required to be filled up. The applicant will be given this form by the Consul office along with the other necessary supplements, and the names and telephone numbers of Panel Doctors in the applicant’s area. A vaccination supplement will also be provided to the applicant by the USCIS Civil Surgeon or the Panel Doctor. This supplement is used to record the results of the vaccination evaluation by the relevant doctors.
