All applicants
for adjustment of status are required to have a medical examination.
A civil surgeon who has been designated by the Immigration and Naturalization
Service (INS) must conduct the medical examination. The designated civil
surgeon is responsible for the entire medical examination, and will record
the results on Form I-693. The required medical exam consists of a physical
examination, a tuberculin (TB) skin test and serologic (blood) test.
The designated civil surgeon must perform these tests in accordance with the
Technical Instruction for the Medical Examination of Aliens in the United
States, published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The Form I-693 will be given to you in a sealed envelope to present to INS.
You should not open the sealed envelope. The requirements of
the medical examination are as follows:
