How to apply

• The hiring page instructs interested candidates to call 847-329-0471 or send an email with their resume (email address as listed on the hiring page).

• The U.S. immigration medical exam is a medical examination required for most green card applicants and certain non-immigrant visa applicants, refugees, and applicants adjusting status to permanent residence.
• The exam is used to complete Form I-693 in the United States, which reports medical examination results to USCIS and helps establish that an applicant is not inadmissible to the United States on public health grounds.

Who performs the exam

• In the United States, immigration medical exams must be performed by a licensed doctor designated by USCIS as a Civil Surgeon.
• Oakton Health Center states that they have a Civil Surgeon on duty six days a week and are prepared to provide this service.
• Outside the United States, these exams are performed by panel physicians approved for immigration medical examinations.

Forms used

• Applicants in the United States submit Form I-693 completed by a designated Civil Surgeon.
• Applicants outside the United States submit the appropriate medical exam form (such as DS-2053, formerly OF-157) as provided by the U.S. consular authorities.
• Oakton Health Center provides the required form for patients they examine.

Documents to bring

Patients are asked to bring:

• Passport, driver's license, or state ID (a valid photo ID)

Nice to have, if available:

• Vaccination records
• Alien Registration Number (9-digit USCIS number or A-Number)

Number of visits

• The website states that the immigration medical exam requires only two visits to the office to complete.

After the exam

• After the medical exam is complete, the Civil Surgeon certifies the results on the appropriate forms and places them in a sealed envelope labeled "DO NOT OPEN THE SEALED ENVELOPE."
• Applicants should not accept the packet if it is not sealed, or if the envelope has been opened or altered. USCIS may return an unsealed or altered form.
• The applicant—not the Civil Surgeon—is responsible for submitting the sealed Form I-693 packet to USCIS along with the immigration application, following USCIS or consular instructions.

Validity period of the exam

• Form I-693 must be signed by a Civil Surgeon no more than 60 days before the applicant files the underlying application for an immigration benefit.
• Once signed, Form I-693 is generally valid for two years from the date the Civil Surgeon signs it, if submitted appropriately.

General notes

• Applicants are encouraged to schedule the immigration medical exam close to the date they plan to file for adjustment of status, while allowing enough time for required laboratory tests to be completed.
