The Immigration Medical is an important part of the entire immigration journey for an aspirant who wishes to settle down in the US.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE IMMIGRATION EXAMINATION:

All records, such as the applicant’s employment, military, school or police documents and records will be scrutinized and these will be used to define whether the applicant has a history of harmful behavior, either physical or mental. Records are usually examined to rule out any disorders that could endanger the individual and the proximate society and could impact daily functioning and general health and well-being.

The applicant will be asked specifically about symptoms that are in relation to his or her muscular, pulmonary, cardiac and neuropsychiatric systems; symptoms will be looked out for by the doctor to see whether the applicant has any diseases that could make admissibility impossible.

A physical examination will be conducted by the doctor – the eyes, nose and throat, heart, lungs, stomach, nodes, skin, external organs etc. will be checked for infections. A mental examination will also be done; general intelligence, mood, judgment, behavior etc will be examined and assessed for any irregularities.

Some tests will also be done by the Civil Surgeon – blood test and X-rays are an inevitable part of the whole exercise.
