A guide to locating & FAQ regarding designated 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 the Bureau of 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). If you are applying for a visa outside of the United States,
you should review our Medical Examination page below.
