\"\"Anyone applying for a Green Card or an immigrant visa into the United States must undergo a medical exam including a vaccination assessment. Here are some of the applicant categories who are required, or need not go through the Immigration Medical Examination as a mandatory part of the Green Card or Immigrant visa procedure:<\/p>\n

K and V temporary visa applicants: <\/b>K Visa applicants are fianc\u00e9es or spouses of a US citizen. V Visa applicant categories consist of spouses or children of a lawful permanent resident. Applicants in both these categories are required to appear for the Immigration Medical Examination, but are not required to comply with the vaccination requirements at that time.<\/p>\n

Refugees: <\/b>\u00a0People who stay outside of the United States and who apply for a visa must undergo the Immigration Medical Examination. They are not required to comply with the vaccination requirements at this time.<\/p>\n

Asylees: <\/b>Individuals who are already in the United States and who are applying for Asylum are not required to appear for the Medical Examination.<\/p>\n

Refugee adjustment applicants:<\/b> To become eligible for Adjustment of status refugees one year has to elapse- one year after their initial refugee admission. When they apply for Adjustment of Status, however, they will not be required to repeat the medical examination that they had overseas, unless a medical ground of inadmissibility has been discovered.\u00a0 But these refugee adjustment applicants must still comply with the vaccination requirements and submit the vaccination sign-off form that supports the Adjustment of Status application.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
