In the process of migrating to the United States, one of the crucial steps is undergoing immigration medical examinations. These examinations are essential to ensure that visa applicants are in good health and do not pose a risk to public health in the United States. It is important to note that only authorized physicians can conduct these examinations. Here you will find valuable information about this important aspect of the immigration process.

Before delving into the details of medical examinations, it is important to understand why they are necessary. The United States has specific health requirements for visa applicants, and immigration examinations are conducted to:

  2. Prevent the spread of infectious diseases: Identifying and treating individuals with infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, hepatitis, influenza, polio, rotavirus, chickenpox, among others, before they can enter the United States.
  3. Early detection: Allows for immediate treatment to improve individuals’ health and reduces the possibility of these diseases becoming chronic or worsening over time.
