What Is an Immigration Physical?
An immigration physical is a comprehensive medical examination required for individuals seeking to immigrate to the United States. The exam ensures that applicants meet health standards set by the U.S. government and helps identify any potential health issues that could affect eligibility for entry.
Why Do You Need an Immigration Physical?
An immigration physical is necessary to assess the applicant’s overall health and to ensure they do not have any communicable diseases or health conditions that may pose a risk to public health or safety. The results of the exam play a crucial role in determining whether an individual is cleared for immigration. It is a required part of the U.S. visa application process.
What to Expect During an Immigration Physical
During your immigration physical, you can expect the following:
- Medical History Review: The physician will ask about your medical history, including past illnesses, vaccinations, and current medications.
