Our expert staff provides required INS immigration ("Green Card") physicals in accordance with the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services. These services may be accessed by immigrants or employers who hire employees originating from another country. Our staff will record the exam results on Form I-693 for the applicant to return to the USCIS (INS).

At Cambridge Health Alliance, we have the ability to provide the physical exam, blood tests, skin test for tuberculosis (TB), required vaccinations, and chest X-rays, if needed, right at our CHA Assembly Square site. This is all that is required to complete the medical part of your application. We accept proof of vaccination done elsewhere.

Like with our other services, medical interpreters are available at no extra cost in dozens of languages.
