What is an immigration exam?

An essential part of the immigration process for anyone seeking a green card or permanent residence in the United States is an official check of their health status.

Every person in the family seeking permanent residence must undergo an immigration exam, even children. The exam’s purpose is to check every applicant’s health status in the interest of public safety. The United States wants to prevent certain diseases from entering the country.

If you fail the immigration exam, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) may refuse your green card or ask that you undergo additional steps.
