We had taken a look at how US physicians can be appointed as Green Card Civil Surgeons. Here is the final part of the process:

THE I-693 FORM:

Once the physicians are chosen to be appointed as Civil Surgeons they can start conducting the Immigration Medical Examination for immigration applications. USCIS has prescribed a form on which all the findings have to be recorded, that is the findings of the physical examination, the vaccination records, results of the blood work and the tuberculin tests. This form is called the I-693 form, or the Report of the Medical Examination and Vaccination Record. The I-693 form forms an important part of the entire Immigration Medical Examination process.

The Civil Surgeon should take care while filling up this form:

1. All the relevant details along with other information of the applicant should be entered correctly and all records should be properly filled into the form.
2. The vaccination records should also be completed.
3. All relevant and necessary information and certification details of the USCIS Civil Surgeon should also be a part of the I-693 form.

After the form is filled up the Civil Surgeon should then provide his or her certification on the form by affixing his seal and signature. The form should then be inserted into an envelope provided for the purpose and sealed fully. This sealed cover will then have to be handed over to the applicant who will then forward it to the immigration authorities for subsequent procedures that have to be followed. This finishes the process of medical examination in the Immigration Medical Examination process.
