Medical Examination and Designated Civil Surgeons


Most applicants for adjustment of status (Form I-485) are required to have a medical examination. A civil surgeon who has been designated by the U. S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) conducts the medical examination. If you are applying for an immigrant visa outside of the United States through Consular Processing, the Department of State will inform you about specific medical requirements.

For the most current list of civil surgeons in your area, please call the National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283. After you have selected English or Spanish as your language of choice for the message, press the #2 key on your touch-tone phone for medical examinations from the list of six automated options. You will be asked to key in your zip code to help determine the list of designated civil surgeons closest to you. Have a pencil and a piece of paper ready to record the names of the civil surgeons provided.
