A current immigration physical exam is required for all immigration visa applicants

Every immigrant visa applicant to the United States must have a current immigration physical exam

Conditions of admissibility

Civil surgeons and panel physicians perform the immigration physical exam and will classify any medical conditions into Class A or Class B.  Anyone determined to have a Class A medical condition will be ineligible for admission to the United States.  There are four Class A medical conditions which make an applicant inadmissible for entry to the United States based on medical grounds.  These are having a communicable disease, being a drug addict or abuser, currently or in the past having a mental or physical disorder with indications of harmful behavior and not having the required vaccinations. 

Certain are other medical conditions, including mental or physical abnormalities, diseases, or permanent/serious disabilities may be considered Class B conditions and may be waivered.
