At Clinical Research of South Nevada, our team of skilled doctors serve Las Vegas, NV, individuals of any age in need of an immigration physical exam. The immigration physical exam is a mandatory step for anyone from a different country seeking to adjust their immigration status or reside in the U.S. The necessary candidates for this exam include individuals who are applying for green cards, family-based visas, and employment-based visas. The results of the immigration physical exam will be documented on the Form I-693, which is submitted to the USCIS as part of the immigration application process.

Before your immigration physical exam, please make sure you have all the required paperwork, including:

  • Valid government-issued picture ID (driver's license, passport)
  • I-693 paperwork
  • Official immunization record (without proof of immunization, you'll need to get all required vaccinations)

Requirements for an immigration physical include:
Please note that we CANNOT perform a Tuberculosis (TB) skin test within 30 days of any live vaccines, such as MMR, Varicella, or a TB skin test. If you have had any of these vaccines or had a TB skin test recently, you must wait 30 days to have your immigration exam. The TB skin test MUST be placed and read by the civil surgeon doing your immigration physical. If you've had a positive TB skin test in the past, we must have documented proof, including the date it was placed, read, and the size of the reaction. Without this documentation, we must place the TB skin test again.

For applicants from birth to 17 years old:
Children must be up to date on immunizations based on our standards. We will not be able to let you know what the child requires until you're in our office and we have the actual shot record to review.

For applicants 18 – 64 years old, you will need:

  • Tdap vaccine
  • Varicella vaccine or history of Varicella illness (chickenpox)
  • MMR (if born after 1957)

For applicants 65 years and older, you will need:

  • Tdap vaccine
  • Pneumococcal vaccine
  • Varicella vaccine or history of Varicella illness (chickenpox)
  • During flu season (December 1 to March 31), ALL applicants 6 months to 18 years old and 50 years old and above are required to have an influenza vaccine during that season.

Additional test requirements:

  • Blood test for TB: Required for children two years of age and older
  • Syphilis test and Gonorrhea urine test: Required for applicants ages 15 and above
  • Pregnant women cannot receive certain live vaccines. They should bring a letter from their OB/GYN stating their pregnancy status.

Following the physical, the Clinical Research of South Nevada practitioner or civil surgeon will prepare a medical report summarizing the findings of the examination, including information about your medical history, physical examination results, and vaccination status. This report will be provided to you in a sealed envelope, which should not be opened. The sealed envelope is an important document that needs to be submitted to the USCIS as part of your immigration application. Once the USCIS receives your immigration application, they will review all the submitted documents. If there are no significant health concerns, the medical examination should not typically impede the processing of your application. However, if any health-related issues are identified during the physical, the USCIS may request additional documentation, further medical evaluation, or specialized testing, which may cause delays.

The office was able to get me in with no problem, even with me trying to schedule the same day! Just came in with some allergy issues that were bothering me and not improving. I was worried about why they were happening but the doctor there was able to see me and help me figure out what was going on. He also followed up with my pharmacy and made sure I got what I needed. Overall great experience!
