On January 22, 2025, USCIS issued a statement reversing its previous requirement that green card applicants must be up to date on their COVID-19 vaccination to be considered medically admissible.
Effective immediately, USCIS will not deny any adjustment of status application based on the applicant’s failure to present documentation that they received the COVID-19 vaccination.
For applicants who have received one more doses of COVID-19 vaccine in the past, our office will continue to document those doses on their USCIS Form I-693 vaccination record.
Any applicants who would like to be better protected against COVID-19 are welcome to receive a booster dose of the 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccine at our clinic. The cost is covered 100% by most insurances.
In order to expedite communication with clients, our clinic has found it useful to utilize a text messaging platform. If you opt-in, our staff will send text messages and/or images to the phone number we have "on file" which may include any phone number used to call our clinic, the phone number included in the demographics section of this questionnaire, or any phone number provided to our staff as a point of contact for the client. Please be aware that if you opt-in, personal health information (PHI) including but not limited to laboratory results may be communicated through this messaging system.

All clients are charged $208 for their physical examination and completion of USCIS Form I-693.
HAS INSURANCE: Most clients with health insurance can use their policy to cover the costs of laboratory testing and vaccinations. Notwithstanding, clients with short term insurance plans, traveler's insurance, or almost any type of coverage which is non-compliant with Affordable Care Act (ACA) standards will likely NOT be able to use their insurance policy to cover the costs of these additional services. Some common examples of insurance companies offering such policies are VUMI, IMG and US Health Advisors.
NO INSURANCE: Clients without insurance will need to pay for their laboratory testing (children pay $52 each and adults pay $104 each). Uninsured adults must also pay for required vaccinations, the total cost of which depends on the client's age, medical history, prior vaccine records, and immunity test results. Most vaccines are available at our office for a reasonable fee; however, clients may also get vaccinated at a pharmacy, the health department or any other accredited medical provider. Uninsured children ages 0-18 can receive their vaccines for $20/each through the Vaccines for Children (VFC) at our Oakland Park office only.
USCIS requires that you submit two passport style photos along with each of the following applications:
I-130 (petition for alien relative - marriage based) I-485 (adjustment of status / green card)I-765 (employment authorization / work permit)I-131 (travel document / advance parole)
We have passport photo booth kiosk in the lobby of our Oakland Park clinic. The kiosk is self-service and has been specifically designed to check that your photo meets all USCIS technical criteria prior to printing. A pair of photos costs $14.99 and can be printed out and cut to the appropriate size immediately on site. Please feel free to access this kiosk at your leisure prior to or after your immigration medical examination.
Healthcare in the United States can be extremely expensive for individuals who do not have insurance.Most people do not know that anyone who is lawfully present in the US is able to enroll in an individual insurance policy, even before they receive their social security number. If you would like to learn more about your health insurance options in the United States, including plan types and pricing, you can set up an free informational appointment by talking with our front office staff or calling 800-339-9556.
PS: Most health insurance policies cover 100% of vaccination costs. That means that purchasing a policy this month now could save you hundreds of dollars off the total cost of your immigration medical exam.
Legal Relationship
Although civil surgeons are fully licensed medical professionals, an immigration medical exam does NOT constitute engagement in a patient-doctor relationship. The civil surgeon is solely responsible for the documentation of your health status and, when applicable, the treatment of communicable diseases in the manner outlined by the USCIS technical instructions. The civil surgeon bears no responsibility to diagnose or treat health Class B conditions that you are known to have or are diagnosed with at the examination.
Medical Records
Upon completion of the immigration medical exam, we will provide your original Form I-693 in a sealed envelope which will be considered valid by USCIS for an indefinite period of time. If you open this envelope, your paperwork will be considered invalid. Per USCIS guidelines, our office will also provide you with a photocopy of your Form I-693. If you need to obtain another copy at any point in the future, please call our client service line. Additional charges may apply.
Requests for Evidence
If you receive a Request for Evidence (RFE) letter from the USCIS in response to a medical exam completed at our office, please contact us immediately so that we can resolve any deficiencies in your paperwork. Additional charges may apply unless the RFE was due to our office's negligence (per the discretion of the manager on duty).
Billing Insurance
Our office will forward your insurance information to our contracted partners so that they can bill your health insurance company to cover the cost of laboratory testing and/or vaccinations. Neither Gateway nor its staff assume no liability for the outcome of any coverage and/or payment determinations made by your health insurance company. We suggest that you contact your insurance company prior to your visit to find out about your plan's preventive service benefits. If requested, our office will provide you with a complete list of service and diagnosis codes which may assist your insurance company in accurately communicating applicable plan benefits and coverage information.
Adverse Reactions
If you feel that you are experiencing a serious allergic reaction to a vaccination which was administered in the office, we ask that you contact us immediately at 800-339-9556 . If you are too far away to visit us in-person and/or if the doctor is not available, please seek medical attention at a nearby urgent care clinic.
