As you know, the Green Card Medical Exam is an important process for people who wish to seek adjustment of status in the United States of America, or it is important for those people who wish to apply for an immigration visa abroad. REMEMBER: It is next to impossible to avail of an immigration visa or seek adjustment of status without an individual going through a medical examination.

The Green Card Medical Examination has to be mandatorily conducted by a doctor who is specially appointed by USCIS, the officiating body for all immigration visas in the United States. A comprehensive list of USCIS-approved Civil Surgeons can be found on the USCIS website, or even on the easyiME website.

WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO CARRY TO THE GREEN CARD MEDICAL EXAM TO SHOW TO THE USCIS CIVIL SURGEON

The applicant should carry the proof of treatment or follow-up tests that must be shown to the USCIS-approved Civil Surgeons whenever the appointment for the Green Card Medical Examination is fixed up. Children may have to go in for additional vaccination or immunizations. All medical examinations are usually valid for a year. People who are lawful residents but are changing status to U S citizens may be required to re-appear for the Green Card Medical Examination.

The medical fees for the Green Card Medical Exam have to be paid directly to the USCIS-Approved Civil Surgeon.
