Applying for a green card involves a lot of paperwork, and one step that catches many applicants off guard is the medical exam. Green Card Medical NY, a Financial District practice, is helping applicants across New York City get through it with more confidence and less confusion.

The USCIS medical exam is a required part of the green card process. It confirms that applicants meet the health standards set by U.S. immigration authorities. The exam must be completed by an authorized Immigration Civil Surgeon and documented on Form I-693. A regular family doctor cannot complete this form, even if you have seen them for years. The exam follows specific USCIS guidelines, which is why choosing the right provider matters.

Green Card Medical NY is run by a board-certified family medicine physician who is also an authorized civil surgeon. The office, at 160 Broadway in Lower Manhattan, handles every step of the immigration medical exam, from your first appointment to the final sealed paperwork.

What the exam includes

The visit covers four main parts:

1. A physical examination that checks several body systems
2. A vaccination review to confirm your immunization records meet requirements
3. Lab tests, including blood work and screening for infectious diseases
4. A mental health screening to identify conditions that could affect eligibility

Because the civil surgeon must follow strict I-693 rules, accuracy counts. A missing signature, an outdated form, or an incomplete vaccine record can create problems for your Adjustment of Status case. The practice uses the latest I-693 forms and provides sealed, USCIS-compliant documents, so applicants can submit them with confidence.

Why applicants choose this practice
Many people feel nervous about the immigration process, and a clear, organized exam makes a real difference. Green Card Medical NY guides you through the I-693 process from start to finish, and every patient receives a copy of their medical results for their own records. Each applicant gets individualized attention from immigration medical specialists who understand what USCIS expects.
Pricing is transparent, with costs explained up front, which many applicants appreciate.

Language support is also available, which helps many immigrant families feel more comfortable during the visit. Patients can book online or call the office directly with any questions.

A few tips before your appointment
Bring your vaccination records, a valid photo ID, and any previous medical documents you have. Having these ready helps the civil surgeon complete your exam smoothly. Reading the instructions page on the practice’s website beforehand can also help you feel prepared.

A green card is a major life milestone, and the medical exam does not have to be a stumbling block. With an experienced Immigration Civil Surgeon handling your USCIS medical exam correctly, you can focus on the next step of your journey.
