An immigration examination is a required part of the process of becoming an American citizen. This exam is intended to ensure that applicants do not have certain health conditions or communicable diseases that could pose a risk to others.
You need to bring some paperwork with you to your exam. Form I-693 also called the Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination, is required. You can fill out the first few pages of the form prior to your visit to save time. Once you complete your exam, your practitioner gives you a sealed copy of the form to submit to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
Not all practitioners are authorized to perform immigration examinations. At A Shamani Inc, you can rest assured that the team performs and documents your exam according to the established rules and regulations.
