Tuberculosis Update:

1. The Tuberculosis blood test is required for applicants age 2 and older. The results are usually ready in  72 hours after the blood is drawn. If the rblood test result is positive then a Chest X-ray will be required at an additional fee.

We cannot accept TB tests from other providers. This must be performed by the Civil Surgeon.

Applicants require proof of vaccinations. The civil surgeon will review your vaccination history to determine if any other vaccines are require and/or if you need any blood titers (laboratory tests that proves if a person has immunity or antibodies for a particular disease). Additional vaccinations and blood titers are offered at an additional fee.

After the immigration physical examination is completed, Dr. Kashani will certify Form I-693 and the intake form (see below) with the test results of the immigration exam and vaccination history in a sealed envelope to present to the Department of Homeland Security. 

DO NOT OPEN THE SEALED ENVELOPE. Turn in the envelope with your immigration application.

A copy of your I-693 report will be provided for you to keep after results have been discussed with the examining doctor. The examination will only be valid up to a year after the immigration exam date. If it has been more  than one year, we will need to repeat another examination, blood and urine test as well as the TB tests. You may need a flu shot if performed during flu season (i.e., October to March).
