In the adjustment of status process, including EB-5 cases, the medical examination is required to confirm that the applicant meets public health requirements. The central form for this step is Form I-693 (Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record).
Form I-693 is completed by a physician authorized by USCIS, known as a ‘civil surgeon’. It records the results of the medical examination and vaccination history, documenting the health information that USCIS reviews as part of the application. For this reason, the exam must be conducted by an authorized professional; otherwise, the form will not be accepted.
Beyond Form I-693, there are no other specifically ‘medical’ forms required in the adjustment of status process. What varies from case to case are the completion, submission, and validity instructions, as defined by USCIS itself.
Since these instructions and policies can change, confirm the current form requirements and step-by-step guidance directly through official sources and, when in doubt, seek specialized immigration advice.
