    The first step to the Immigration Medical Examination is to find out which are the doctors who reside in your area and are officiated to perform the Immigration Medical Examination for you. The information is available on the USCIS website, apart from also being accessible on a free basis on the www.easyIME.com website. On the USCIS website you may have to select the first 3 letters pertaining to your case number from the drop down list. Once you do so, and then click on Medical Examination you will receive complete information about the Immigration Medical Examination.

The USCIS-approved Civil Surgeon will let you know the cost of the Immigration Medical Examination and all the tests involved in the same.
