Form I-693, Report of Immigration Medical Examination and Vaccination Record, is used by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to determine whether an applicant for adjustment of status (or certain other benefits) is inadmissible on health-related grounds under INA §212(a)(1). For applicants inside the United States, the examination must be performed by a USCIS-designated civil surgeon. The exam covers a physical examination, a mental-status review, screening for certain communicable diseases of public-health significance (including tuberculosis), and a review of required vaccinations. The civil surgeon seals the completed form in an envelope that the applicant submits to USCIS with the associated application. Because USCIS periodically updates the form edition and its validity period, applicants should always download the current version directly from USCIS and confirm timing with the civil surgeon.
