What is The Purpose of Immigration Physicals?

The purpose behind immigration physicals is to ensure that you’re mentally and physically fit for residency. To gain residency in the US, you need to have a physical performed by a civil surgeon who has been certified by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). During this physical, Dr. McElya evaluates the candidate for the following:

The presence of communicable diseases
Vaccination history
The existence or non-existence of mental disorder(s)
The presence of possible substance abuse disorders

Any disease that requires you to be quarantined or that poses a public health risk to others would make you inadmissible to the US.

How Much Does This Cost?

The cost of an adult physical (14 years and 1 day and up) is $400 plus the cost of vaccines, if needed.
The cost of a child physical (2 years and 1 day-14 years) is $300 plus the cost of vaccines, if needed.
The cost of a newborn physical (0 years – 2 years) is $300 plus the cost vaccines, if needed.

Is There a Physical Examination?

Yes. In the case of the US, Dr. McElya takes X-rays to determine the presence of tuberculosis and does a full physical exam to check for signs of any potential health problems that may pose a risk to others. This exam includes looking at your:

Eyes, ears, nose, and throat
Extremities
Heart
Lungs
Abdomen
Lymph nodes
Skin

Dr. McElya may take X-rays in order to determine the presence of tuberculosis, if needed. During the exam, Dr. McElya also performs a mental evaluation.

What Vaccines Do I Need?

The USCIS requires you to have proof of the following vaccines:

COVID-19
Diphtheria
The current year’s Influenza
Hepatitis A & B
Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR)
Meningococcal
Pertussis
Pneumococcal
Polio
Rotavirus
Tetanus
Varicella

If you’re missing any of these vaccinations, Neighborhood Medical Center provides them at an additional cost. We do not offer COVID-19 vaccines, but you may visit your local health department.
