Our Immigration Medical Exam is a pivotal component for individuals seeking U.S. residency or green card status. In line with the regulations set by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and guided by the standards of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Division of Global Migration and Quarantine (DGMQ), this exam is essential in ensuring public health safety and compliance with immigration laws.

Our exam specifically addresses concerns regarding the spread of communicable diseases, focusing on conditions that could be grounds for inadmissibility. We conduct an exhaustive review of medical screenings and immunization records, adhering to the stringent requirements of the USCIS and CDC.

Key Elements of Our Immigration Testing Panel:

1. Tuberculosis (TB) Screening: Recognizing the importance of accurate TB detection, we have adopted the QuantiFERON TB Gold Plus test. This advanced blood test is preferred over the traditional tuberculin skin tests for its precision and ability to overcome false positives associated with the BCG vaccine, commonly used outside the United States. Our testing method ensures a high level of specificity and sensitivity, utilizing chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) technology.
2. Gonorrhea Testing: Given the often asymptomatic nature of gonorrhea and its potential severe health consequences, our immigration physical exams include mandatory screening for this disease. We implement the nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) using urine samples, which is as effective as urethral or cervical swabs but with the added benefit of patient comfort and convenience.
3. Syphilis Screening: To address the varied clinical presentations of syphilis, we use the rapid plasma reagin (RPR) testing method. This approach detects syphilis reagin antibodies with a high level of sensitivity, fulfilling the CDC’s requirements for immigration health assessments.

Our immigration medical examination package is designed to provide comprehensive and reliable health screenings, ensuring a smooth and compliant process for green card applicants. By utilizing state-of-the-art testing technologies and adhering to the latest health guidelines, we offer a streamlined and efficient service, essential for meeting the health-related admissibility requirements of the immigration process.
