What are the US Immigration Medical Exam Requirements for Form I-693?  What is your discounted fee?

For a USCIS Certified Civil Surgeon to complete the physical exam check-up form (Form I-693) and clear you for the purpose of obtaining a U.S. permanent residency (Green Card) you will need the following: 
1. A physical examination or a medical check-up
2. A PPD test or a Tuberculosis Skin Test (PPD or Tb test)
3. VDRL Blood test for Syphilis
4. Completion of all green card physical forms by the USCIS Certified Civil Surgeon
All of these four items are included in our discounted green card check-up global fee of $129.

There are no further discounts.

Can I choose Statcare physician or do I need to go to the doctor recommended by my immigration attorney?
You can choose any USCIS Physician and not just the one recommended by your immigration attorney's office.  Statcare's physician (Priti Jain, MD) is a certified immigration doctor. Click to see our certificate because the USCIS website is not updated frequently.

The choice of the medical facility is entirely yours and as long as you go to a Civil Surgeon certified by the USCIS, you are going to be fine.

We are an independent medical facility and don't work with any particular immigration law firm.

Our patients come from Manhattan (NYC), Queens, Brooklyn, Bronx and Staten Island.

They also come from as far as upstate NY, New Jersey (NJ) and Connecticut (CT)!

What questions should I ask when choosing a doctor for my green card medical exam?

When shopping for a green card medical examination price, always ask questions so that you know what your "actual" costs might be.

USCIS does not regulate what can be charged by a facility for a green card medical exam, but you can shop around and get the immigration physical done at the best price possible.

However, often there may be hidden costs that may not be as obvious to you. These include charges for:
1. The I-693 Form (per page charge) printing charge
2. Copies of the I-693 form
3. PPD charges including supply charges and PPD administration charges.
4. Vaccine charges including charges for administration and Supply Charges (needle, syringe etc.)
5. Chest X-Ray Charges for getting a Chest X-Ray done, charges for printing a copy
6. Charges for reading the Chest X-Ray. Often, your X-Ray may not have a report made by a Radiologist.
7. Charges for prescriptions were you to need one.
8. Charges for giving you a note summarizing that you got the vaccines.
9. Physician visit charges if your PPD test shows a positive result.
10.  Lab charges for syphilis (VDRL) testing.
11.  Blood draw charges for doing the blood test required for the green card check-up.
12. Charges for any photocopies that you may need while you're there.
13.  Charges for a third physician visit, if you were to need one. 
14. Charges for expediting the USCIS I-693

Statcare's physician (Priti Jain, MD) is a USCIS certified Civil Surgeon to complete your immigration medical examination form.

Our price for an immigration physical examination (open 7 days a week) is $129 only and includes all of the above.

That is Credibility, Honesty, Integrity and Dependability you can count on! 

Your prices are very low compared to Manhattan (NYC). How can your immigration doctor do this immigration paperwork for this price?
We pride ourselves on being a completely transparent business.  Doing an immigration medical exam is only one of the things our office does.  It is not all that we do.  Review a list of the services we provide.  And that is the biggest difference between us and others as you might have noticed already.  We provide immigration medical exams as a service to immigrants because like you; we were immigrants too! We understand your challenges because we went through similar challenges ourselves. Doing immigration physicals is not our core business. Do check out all the services we provide!

Can I mail in my paperwork? Do you have other locations in New York City (Manhattan)?
Remember, you do need to physically be here in our office for us to perform the USCIS immigration medical exam and complete your paperwork.  Take the LIRR like our patients who come from all over New York (NY State) including New York City (NYC), New Jersey (NJ) and Connecticut (CT). We do not have other branches or locations in Manhattan (NYC) or other states.

I got a vaccination certificate from my home country. Can my cost be lower?
A word of caution for those who rely on vaccination documents obtained from their home country. Any lies or falsification on your application will automatically disqualify you from a US citizenship, regardless of how many years have passed since your citizenship status.  The USCIS vaccination requirements are for your protection.  Do not try to bypass them in any way.  You will be discovered or the person who knows your weakness will exploit you.

When we give you the vaccines, we will record the lot number and show you the expiration dates on the vaccines. We have heard a lot of crazy stories from same day PPD's to same day form filling (before the IGRA) services. When we give you a PPD test, it is actually a PPD not something else. When we give you a vaccine, it is a vaccine. We only do what is right.  For this reason we do not take over immigration medical exams where someone else has left off.  We cannot certify the work if it is not done by us.

If you are shopping for a bargain price, please do not call our staff. They cannot help you in this.

We are certified by USCIS for Immigration and Naturalization Medical Exams and our address is 412 S. Broadway, Hicksville, NY 11801. Click here for directions.

We are close to the LIRR Hicksville Train Station.

You can also take the MTA Long Island Bus Route N20.

We are open all 7 days. We are open till 8PM on weekdays.
No appointments required
Just walk in! 
Cash, Visa, MasterCard and American Express cards are accepted. No personal checks.

How many times do I need to come for getting a green card medical exam?
An immigration medical exam involves a few steps. The green card medical visit to any USCIS certified civil surgeon involves two visits because the PPD has to be read in 48-72 hours. That time cannot be compressed unless you want to pay for an IGRA. There are two types of IGRA tests available: the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and an enzyme-linked immunospot.

Can you give me instructions so I can come prepared?  Also guide me so I know what to expect...

1. Bring your passports or drivers license or a government issued photo ID
2. Search and bring all your vaccine records and blood test results for vaccination related antibodies when you come in.  It may save you money. 
   This is all the homework you need to do for the first immigration medical visit. 

We will provide the latest copy of the USCIS I-693 form for US Immigration medical examination.  And we don't charge you for it.  We understand most of you are still struggling to get a green card.
If you want to see what the I-693 form looks like, click here.  You can bring the form I-693 (Medical Examination of Aliens Seeking Adjustment of Status) if you want to.  But please do not fill out the form yourself.  The US immigration officials are very particular and any mistakes or 'white-outs' will impact the integrity of your application for a green card.
On your first visit you will receive a medical check-up and the Tuberculosis skin test (PPD/Tuberculin test).  Also blood will be drawn and sent to a lab for the Syphilis test.
If you have received all the vaccines but do not have proof of the vaccination, you can opt for the blood test to check if you have protective antibodies from a prior vaccination in your blood.  This blood test is not included in the global fee.
If you need certain vaccines, we will give them to you on the first day of your visit. You will have to pay for these vaccines separately.
Hep. B $85
MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) $110
TD (Tetanus, Diphtheria) $45
Our prices for vaccines for a green card medical exam are extremely competitive.  There are no surprises when you come to our office.

Just show up in 48-72 hours so your PPD can be read.  Since we are open all 7 days, there is no 48-hour scheduling issue where you can't get a PPD on a Thursday or a Friday just because the immigration doctor's office is closed on the weekend.

When you come back, on your second visit, we will have the results of the VDRL blood test for Syphilis. We will read the PPD skin test that was done at the first visit.  If that test is negative, your immigration form will be completed. If the PPD test is positive, then you will need a Chest X-Ray.  We do Digital Chest X-Rays in our office using the latest technology and have it read by a Radiologist as well for $55. If the Chest X-Ray is abnormal, you will need further things done before you can be medically cleared for immigration (green card). All reports will be issued in 2 business days. We can even mail them to you if you so desire.

Who will complete my green card medical examination papers?
Again, the medical exam is done all 7 days a week including weekends and the whole family can come and get it done at the same time or separately. We are also open in the evening, all 7 days a week. All blood tests are drawn at our facility. If you need an X-Ray, it will also get done at our facility.

How do I get to your place from Manhattan?
You can take the LIRR from Penn Station. Please visit the MTA's LIRR website to see the latest train schedules.

What are the new changes for immigration doctor's visits since 2009?
HIV test is not required any more.
The IGRA blood test for TB can be done instead of the skin test. It is expensive and if you would like it, we can get it done at the most reasonable cost compared to anywhere else in NYC, NY, NJ or CT.
