USCIS Doctor

[Bossk 2]

I have started the petition as a us citizen to get my wife (overstayed work visa) for a green card. I was told the first thing to do is to have her go to a Doctor from USCIS.gov and have her take an exam? Do I just called and schedule one? or do I need to bring a form? Is there a step by step topic on this? I do not see anywhere on uscis.gov about the doctor part.

Is her petition as simple as filing an I-130 and I-485?

She will need the form I-693 and it is signed by a USCIS Doctor. You will need to make the appointment. The form is good for a year I believe... Not sure how far into the process but it is a form

Its pretty straight forward, type in google "uscis approved doctors" you will get a link to the list of doctors approved to carry out the medicals. Choose one closest to you and book an appointment. Keep in mind prices differ so might want to compare. You do not need to go with any form, they'll give you the form filled out in a sealed envelope, DO NOT OPEN this envelope bcos thats what you will be sending to USCIS.

Goodluck

There is a really awesome step by step guide on here that I used in respect to filing:

My husband booked my medical appointment for me from the list of approved USCIS doctors - I already had the form I-693 printed off and took it with me, I was asked to fill out the top part at the doctors.

My appointment was fairly straight forward, they ran through my medical history and took a copy of my vaccination record which I had requested from my doctor in the UK. I had bloods taken, a TB test done and needed to have a couple of vaccinations that I was missing. I went back a couple of days later to have the TB test read and they completed the paperwork and gave it to me in a sealed envelop, along with a photocopy for my records.
