CIVIL SURGEONS
Most applicants for adjustment of status are required to have a medical examination.
The medical examination must be conducted by a civil
surgeon who has been designated by U.S. Citizenship
and Immigration Services.
Medical examinations are
needed for adjustment of status cases (Form I-485)
and requests for V nonimmigrant status (Form I-539).
These medical professionals receive U.S. immigration-focused
training in order to provide examinations as required
by the CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention)
and USCIS.
