Required Documents

Please bring:

• Government-issued photo identification (such as a driver's license or state-issued ID)
• Passport (required if you do not have a state-issued photo ID)
• A-Number (if applicable)
• Vaccination records
• Medical records from healthcare providers you have seen in the United States
• The two forms Nurse Jaimie will send you:
  • USCIS Medical Exam Screening Checklist
  • Authorization to Release Health Records

If records are not in English, certified translations may be required.

Don't have all of your records? That's okay. Nurse Jaimie will help guide you through the process and determine what additional records may be needed before your appointment.

Vaccination Records

Providing vaccination records before your appointment helps us determine which vaccines may be needed and can prevent unnecessary vaccinations, costs, and delays.

Common vaccine records include:

• Hepatitis A
• Hepatitis B
• MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella)
• Varicella (Chickenpox)
• Tdap/Td
• Polio
• Influenza
• COVID-19 (if applicable under current USCIS requirements)

Vaccination requirements are determined by USCIS guidelines and vary based on age and individual circumstances.

---

Tuberculosis (TB) Screening

USCIS requires tuberculosis screening for all applicants, ages 2 and over.

If your TB blood test is positive, additional evaluation may be required, including:

• A chest X-ray
• Additional testing if indicated

A positive TB screening test does not automatically prevent completion of your immigration medical exam. Our team will guide you through any additional requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the process take?

Most cases are completed within approximately one week, depending on laboratory results, vaccination requirements, record availability, and whether additional tuberculosis evaluation is required.

Our USCIS appointments are generally scheduled on Thursdays, allowing us to efficiently coordinate your nurse visit, physician visit, and final paperwork.

Can I complete everything in one visit?

No. USCIS medical exams at DawnMD require two appointments:

1. A nurse visit for record review, vaccination review, and laboratory testing
2. A physician visit with Dr. Shaleah Jones, USCIS Civil Surgeon

This process helps ensure all required testing and documentation are completed accurately before your final paperwork is prepared.

Do I need my vaccination records?

Yes. Providing vaccination records is strongly encouraged and can help prevent unnecessary vaccinations, costs, and delays.

Can DawnMD obtain my records?

Yes. We can provide a medical records release form to help obtain records from previous healthcare providers.

Is my appointment reserved when I submit a request?

No. Appointment requests are reviewed by our team. Your appointment is not reserved until enrollment, deposit requirements, and scheduling have been completed with our office.
