Find a designated civil surgeon

Only USCIS-designated civil surgeons can complete Form I-693, the medical exam required for adjustment of status. Confirm the provider's designation before booking, because an exam performed by a non-designated doctor will not be accepted.

You can verify a civil surgeon's status through the USCIS website or by asking the clinic directly for their designation. Choosing a designated provider in Miami ensures your paperwork will be valid the first time.

What to bring

Bring a government-issued photo ID, your complete vaccination records, and any relevant medical history to your appointment. Having full vaccination documentation can save you from needing repeat vaccines and a second visit.

If you have records of prior tuberculosis testing, chronic conditions, or past treatments, bring those as well. The more complete your history, the more smoothly the civil surgeon can complete and seal your I-693 form.

Typical costs

Costs vary by clinic and depend on which vaccines you still need at the time of your exam. Ask for an itemized estimate that separates the exam fee from any vaccine costs so you can compare providers accurately.

Because the medical exam is generally not covered by insurance, it is worth calling a few designated clinics in Miami to compare pricing. Confirm whether the quoted fee includes the sealed envelope and any required lab work.
