Does Each Family Member Need a Separate Form I-693?

Quick Answer

Yes. Each family member applying for adjustment of status must have their own separate Form I-693. There is no family or group version of the form. Each applicant's examination findings, test results, and vaccination records are unique and must be documented individually on their own form.

One Form Per Applicant — No Exceptions

Form I-693 is an individual medical record. Each person applying for adjustment of status — whether a spouse, child, or other family member — must have their own separate examination and their own separate Form I-693. USCIS does not accept a single form covering multiple applicants. Each form must be completed, certified, and sealed individually by the civil surgeon.

Scheduling Family Appointments

Our office can schedule all family members for their examinations on the same day, which minimizes the number of trips required and makes the process more convenient. When scheduling, provide the names, dates of birth, and any known medical history for each family member. This allows our staff to prepare appropriately for each individual's examination. Family appointments are available on most weekdays and selected weekends.

What to Bring for Each Family Member

Each family member must bring their own identification documents, vaccination records, and any relevant medical records. Acceptable identification includes a passport, birth certificate, or other government-issued photo ID. Vaccination records should show the vaccine name, date administered, and administering provider for each vaccine received. Children's vaccination records are often maintained by their pediatrician — contact the pediatrician's office in advance to obtain a complete immunization history.

Age-Specific Requirements for Children

Children have different examination requirements than adults. Certain laboratory tests — such as syphilis and gonorrhea testing — are not required for young children. Vaccination requirements also vary by age, following the CDC immunization schedule. The civil surgeon will apply the appropriate requirements for each child based on their age. Infants and very young children may have limited vaccination histories, which is expected and accounted for in the USCIS requirements.

Group Discounts and Pricing

Our office offers family and group pricing for multiple applicants scheduling examinations on the same day. Contact our office for current pricing information or visit our pricing page. Even with group scheduling, each applicant receives a complete, individual examination and their own sealed Form I-693. The group discount applies to the examination fee — laboratory and vaccine costs are billed individually based on each applicant's specific needs.
