Hello, My spouse, the beneficiary, is from Cuba and I would like to know if there is a test to prove he has some or all of the vaccines asked for? Maybe some sort of blood test?
As long as the beneficiary is being treated and the illness is under control, generally, this does not impact the medical exam. You will need to talk to your civil surgeon.

Why is the medical exam good for 2 years, but then must be submitted within 60 days of the Green Card application or else it is not valid? How can it be valid for 2 years, yet not valid if not submitted within 60 days? I don't understand the logic.
The medical exam is good for 4 years if submitted within the application within 60 days. If an applicant submits a medical exam that is over 60 days it will not be valid.

Hi. What if say there's findings in applicant's xray exam? Will it be a grounds to deny the application for the adjustment of status? Please need your response. Thank you.
During the exam, the doctor’s job is to make sure that the spouse seeking a green card doesn’t pose a health threat to current residents of the United States. The main health-related reasons why a person might be denied a green card include the following: Communicable diseases: If you have active, untreated, and infectious gonorrhea, leprosy, syphilis, or tuberculosis, you will be unable to get a green card until the disease has been treated and/or cured. Drug and alcohol abuse: If you have a history of drug abuse, you might be asked to take a drug test and/or certify that you have completed a drug treatment program. If you’re currently abusing prescription drugs, illegal drugs, or alcohol, you will not be allowed to get a green card. Mental illness with history or threat of violence: If you have a mental illness that has caused you to be violent in the past or is associated with violence, either against yourself or others, you may have trouble getting a green card. According to USCIS policy, drunk driving falls into this category. Inability to work: If your health is so poor that you won’t be able to support yourself financially, you could be denied a green card based on your likelihood of becoming a “public charge,” basically a person who has depended, or is likely to depend at any time in the future, on government benefits. This is likely the case for people with serious degenerative or fatal diseases.
@@BoundlessImmigration Thank you so much for the response. By the way, you said the person will not be able to get a green card if found let's say positive for tb and denied a green card until the disease has been treated or cured. Will the person get deported right away? Or the person should be treated or cured and can try to apply a green card again? Would love to hear your reponse about this please? Thank you.
@@bleavitt5325 Generally if an applicant tests positive for tuberculosis or certain other conditions, the doctor will perform additional tests and treatment before completing the I-693 and signing it for USCIS. If a condition can be cured, a green card may still be issued.
Can/Will the Civil Surgeon do a blood titre to see what immunizations you have had? or just give you new ones if you do not have your records? Also should we go get immunizations before seeing the Civil Surgeon or wait to see them for blood titre and/or let them give the immunizations? Not sure exactly what immunizations are needed. Thanks! =)
Yes, having vaccine records on hand will allow the civil surgeon to mark off what is required. An applicant will need to speak to the civil surgeon at the time of interview if they are missing vaccinations which can be taken at the time of exam.

Please look at this timeline and suggest the ways to submit i-693 now after Adjustment of Status(i-485) package has already been sent. October 20th 2020 - i-485 received by USCIS October 29th 2020 - Civil Surgeon signed on i-693 November 12th 2020 - Receipt notices generated The Civil Surgeon indicated that it might take more than 2 weeks to get lab reports and I did not wait for more days since the clock was ticking on my priority date in Visa Bulletin. Now that I have the medical forms in sealed envelope with me, what are my options? - Can I send the medical forms with i-485 receipt notices to USCIS? - Should I wait for RFE or interview? - Since the Civil Surgeon signed i-693 on 29th October 2020, the medical results should be valid till 29th October 2022? Is this assumption correct? - What is 60 days rule? Does the form need to be SUBMITTED within 60 days of doctor's signature or the rule simply means that medical should be done not more than 60 days before i-485 submission? Please help. If the form needs to reach USCIS within 60 days of Civil Surgeon's signature, then I still have few weeks to send it.

Hi, what if an individual has PCOS but it is healed without prescription drugs or treatment but by simply factors of lifestyle change and diet, would this raise any eyebrows at the embassy????
So long as the civil surgeon signs off on the medical exam, any pre-existing conditions should not be a factor at the time of the interview. Please make sure to disclose this to your doctor.
I don't want to send medical exam with form i485 .i need to submit medical exam on green card interview...i hope uscis not denied my form i 485 cause of not submit. Medical exam..thank you
Applicants do have the option of taking the exam after submission. Bring the signed Form I-693 in the sealed envelope provided by the doctor to the green card interview. Mailing the exam results before the green card interview is also an option but is generally best avoided because the results either can get lost in transit or cannot be traced back to the relevant green card application.

This will depend on the civil surgeon that you meet, if a beneficiary is being treated or has been treated for a previous infection, generally this is not an issue. Make sure to bring evidence of this to your medical exam.
