Who cannot take the EB-3 medical examination?

The medical examination is a mandatory and very important step in the process for the EB-3 visa, as it serves to prove that the applicant does not have health conditions that could render them inadmissible to the United States.

This evaluation is only valid if performed by an authorized physician – a civil surgeon (in the U.S.) or panel physician (in other countries) – designated by the Department of State or American authorities.

It is not possible to perform or validate the exam with non-credentialed professionals, which would result in non-acceptance in the process. Only applicants with an official appointment during the immigration processing phase should undertake it.

Special situations, such as children or specific health conditions, allow for adaptations of the exam but do not prevent its execution.

Strictly following the official rules is essential; schedule the exam only with authorized professionals and avoid unofficial sources to ensure a safe and effective process.
