What are the medical forms involved in the adjustment of status?

When starting the adjustment of status process for the United States, it is essential to understand that one of the important requirements relates to the medical part of the procedure, which ensures that the applicant meets public health requirements.

In the case of most adjustment of status applications, including processes like the EB-5, the main form for the medical examination is Form I-693. Form I-693 – Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record – is completed by a physician authorized by USCIS, known as a “civil surgeon.” This form documents the results of the medical exam, including information about vaccines and tests needed to detect health conditions that may pose a risk to the U.S. community.

It is important that the exam be performed by a credentialed professional, as only then will the form be accepted by USCIS. Besides Form I-693, there are no other specific “medical” forms required for adjustment of status. However, it is essential to follow all instructions provided by USCIS and stay alert to any updates in immigration policies, as rules may change over time.

We reinforce the importance of seeking specialized guidance and referencing official sources to avoid misinformation or campaigns promising guaranteed results, which can be risky and harmful to the process. Always remembering that correctly fulfilling all legal requirements and following official procedures is fundamental for successful adjustment of status.

Obtaining accurate information from official websites and consulting reliable professionals in the immigration field are recommended practices to conduct the process safely and in compliance with U.S. law.
