Houston / Harris County Immigration Physicals

November 30, 2021

If you wish to become a citizen of the United States, you must have an immigration physical performed by a physician licensed by the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services. The doctors at Brookshire Family Practice have been licensed by this entity and are prepared to conduct your exam.

What should I bring to my medical exam?

Valid, government issued picture ID (e.g. driver’s license, passport, etc.)
Proof of any prior vaccinations
Completed I-693 (Required Immigration Form)
If needed, please bring an interpreter

What should I expect during my immigration physical?

Basic physical and mental status examinations
Blood Work – including a serologic blood test for Syphilis
Urine Test – which includes Neisseria Gonorrhea testing
Tuberculosis (TB) testing

Additionally, you will need a proof of vaccination indicating you have been vaccinated for Tetanus-Diphtheria Td (within the last 5 years), Measles, Mumps, Rubella and Varicella (Chicken Pox). If you do not have your vaccination records available, you will need to prove immunity via a Blood Titer test. This test proves that a person has immunity or antibodies for a particular disease.

The cost for any additional vaccinations is not included in the basic exam fee but can be included for an additional fee.

What happens after my exam?

Once the immigration medical exam is completed, your doctor will certify the I-693 form and place it, your test results and vaccination history in a sealed envelope for you to present to Immigration and Naturalization Services (INS). PLEASE DO NOT OPEN THE ENVELOPE. If you open the envelope, your results will be null, and void and you will be required to undergo the exam again for an additional fee. We will provide a copy of your completed I-693 and blood test results for your records. The exam is valid for one year after your exam date.

Your neurological networks in the body are important. When the neurological pathways of the body are damaged or altered, it can cause all sorts of problems within the body. Knowing what to expect at your IASIS appointment can help assuage some of your fears and make the overall process easier. What Is IASIS? IASIS is a technology company that has worked hard to use neurofeedback to help fix issues as a form of therapy. IASIS is a new and emerging technology that has the ability to help repair and read the neurological pathways in the brain so that medical professionals can better understand what is going on inside the brain to create a treatment plan that is going to be more effective. This technology has been used to help with memory disorders, autism, epilepsy, post-stroke, depression, and more. This treatment is meant to help create a plan that is going to be able to help those that are being treated and better understand what is going on inside the brain. What to Expect The first step of your IASIS appointment is going to be an in-depth questionnaire that is going to help your technicians develop a baseline. You will work with the tech to find out what form of treatment is going to work for you. These professionals are trained to help patients figure out what is going on and to help reprogram the brain in some ways. This is a process that is not painful. It can have powerful lasting effects that are going to positively change the brain and help you overall. These treatments are going to be relaxed, laid back, and as calm as possible. The team at your IASIS appointment is going to help you figure out what is going to work best for you and is also going to help ensure that you are calm while you are in the treatment. Up to 85% of people notice a positive response in as little as one to three sessions. This is a fantastic therapy that can help so much for those dealing with neurological disorders that can negatively affect your day-to-day life. These experts are dedicated to making sure that patients have a better life and that they are able to move on despite any neurological issues they may have.
