If an applicant is on a journey of immigration to the United States, and is in the process of acquiring the Green Card then one of the aspects covering the journey is the Immigration Medical. People who apply for their immigration benefits outside the country are also required to get a medical done, but there is a slight variance in the process.

Some exceptions to this examination requirement are made for those people who have already taken the exam previously, that is, before their entry into the United States; people or entrants on a fiancé visa (K-1), the results of their previous medical exam – this would be in the local files of the USCIS office.

The medical exam has to be conducted only by a doctor approved by a USCIS. A list of the doctors or Civil Surgeons is available on the U S Civil Surgeons Locator page on the USCIS website. Alternatively this information can also be acquired by logging onto the easyIME website, a one-stop shop for applicants looking to complete the Green Card process by taking the Immigration exam.

It is always advisable to complete the procedure for the Immigration Medical just close to the time when the applicant plans to hand over the adjustment of status document file. This is because the result of the examination stands valid only for 1 year.
