An immigration medical exam is a necessary part of immigrating to the United States. It is a routine part of the process to ensure public safety .

Public health safety is an important aspect of immigration. The U.S. government is responsible for ensuring that new immigrants do not introduce communicable diseases, physical or mental disorders with associated harmful behavior, or drug abuse problems. Congress also requires all green card applications to establish that they have been vaccinated against certain vaccine-preventable diseases.

The immigration medical exam is the process to remove these grounds of inadmissibility.

The following medical conditions may make an applicant inadmissible on health-related grounds:

• Communicable disease of public health significance [e.g. chancroid, gonorrhea, granuloma inguinale, leprosy (infectious), lymphogranuloma venereum, syphilis (infectious stage), and tuberculosis (active)]
• An immigrant’s failure to show proof of required vaccinations
• Physical or mental disorder with associated harmful behavior
• Drug abuse or addiction

The immigration medical examination is not a complete physical examination. Its purpose is to screen for certain medical conditions relevant to U.S. immigration law. The U.S. government doesn't require the doctor to evaluate you for any conditions except those the U.S. Public Health Service specifies for U.S. immigration purposes. Likewise, the government doesn't require the doctor to provide you with diagnosis or treatment even if they discover other issues related to your health. This examination is not a substitute for a full physical examination, consultation, diagnosis, or treatment by your primary health care provider.
