MEDICAL EXAMINATION FOR IMMIGRATION DR. PATRICIA SITNITSKY, DESIGNATED AS A USCIS CIVIL SURGEON

The green card medical examination is an important step of the immigration process and is required for most green card applicants. The exam must be completed by a government-authorized doctor (also known as a civil surgeon). In the immigration medical exam, you can expect:

  • A review of your medical history and immunization (vaccine) records
  • A physical and mental evaluation
  • Tests for various diseases and illnesses (sometimes including an X-ray)

The purpose of the green card medical exam is to ensure that the person seeking a green card has no health condition that could make them “inadmissible” to the United States — meaning they’re ineligible to receive a green card.

Many green card applicants get nervous about this step of the process, and that’s normal. But there’s no need to worry! Dr. Patricia Sitnitsky is a licensed U.S. Civil Surgeon, which means that she is authorized by the U.S. government to perform the immigration medical exam, and has many years of experience to help you avoid common pitfalls in the process.
