What Is an Immigration Physical Exam?
It’s important to note that an immigration physical is not the same as a standard physical examination. While some components are similar, an immigration physical exam places a high level of focus on screening for certain medical conditions/illnesses that are noted in the current immigration laws. Certain ailments, diseases, and medical conditions may prevent you from being admitted, especially those that are considered dangerous to the public. An immigration physical works to remove these grounds of inadmissibility, allowing you to continue forward with the immigration process.
