Trusted USCIS-Approved Immigration Exams — Fast, Local & Hassle-Free

Beginning the path toward permanent residency in the United States is a major step—and completing your USCIS immigration medical exam is a required part of the process. At FirstCare Urgent Care Center in Oak Lawn, IL, we provide certified immigration exams conducted by a designated USCIS civil surgeon. Our goal is to help you meet all federal health requirements accurately, efficiently, and without unnecessary stress.


If you're applying for a green card, adjustment of status, or certain types of visas, you must complete a physical exam to confirm you are free from specific communicable diseases and have received all required vaccinations. We proudly serve individuals and families from Oak Lawn, Burbank, Evergreen Park, Hometown, Bedford Park, and across the Chicagoland area.


Our team is experienced in the immigration process and will ensure that every step—from your exam to your Form I-693 paperwork—is handled with care and accuracy.


What’s Included in Your Immigration Exam:


  • A full physical examination

  • Medical history review

  • Required vaccinations per USCIS age-based guidelines

  • Tuberculosis screening (Quantiferon blood test)

  • Blood and urine testing for conditions such as syphilis and gonorrhea (age-based)

  • Completion and sealing of Form I-693 for USCIS submission

We offer on-site lab testing and vaccination services, allowing you to complete the entire process in one location. If you have vaccine records, please bring them with you. If not, we can administer required immunizations during your visit.


The immigration medical exam is not the same as a general physical—it must follow strict USCIS protocols, and documentation must be filled out with precision. Our civil surgeon is certified and experienced in this process and will ensure that your documents are completed and sealed according to federal requirements.


Typical Timeline:


The first visit includes your exam, lab tests, and any necessary vaccines.


Within 3–5 business days, your lab results are reviewed. If all is clear, you’ll return to receive your completed and sealed I-693 form.


We recommend scheduling your exam early in your immigration process to avoid last-minute delays. However, we can often accommodate urgent requests if you are on a tight deadline.


Affordable, Transparent Pricing:

We offer flat-rate pricing and will walk you through any additional costs up front—no hidden fees, no surprise charges. If needed, we can also provide an itemized receipt or summary for your attorney or reimbursement.


At FirstCare Urgent Care Center, we are honored to support individuals and families navigating the immigration process. You’ll be treated with kindness, professionalism, and respect every step of the way.


Let us help you complete your immigration medical exam with confidence and peace of mind.
