The civil surgeon will record the results on Form I-693. For applicants required to have the entire medical exam, all of the following are required:
Physical Examination: A physical examination and a mental status evaluation are required, regardless of age.
Tuberculin (TB) Skin Test: Applicants age 2 and older are required to have a tuberculin skin test (TST). Civil surgeons may require an applicant who is less than 2 years of age to have a TST if he or she has a history of contact with a known TB case, or if there is any other reason to suspect TB disease. After the skin test, you will need to return to the civil surgeon in 48 to 72 hours to have the results read. If you have a reaction of 4 millimeters or less, you will not need any further tests for TB. A chest X-ray is required when the reaction to the TST is 5 millimeters or more. The civil surgeon will explain these medical requirements to you in more detail.
Serologic (Blood) Test: Applicants 15 years of age and older are required to have serologic (blood) test for syphilis. Civil surgeons can require applicants under age 15 to be tested for syphilis if there is reason to suspect the possibility of infection.
