The exam results will be recorded on Form I-693 for the applicant to return to the USCIS (INS). The exam process generally takes 3-5 days, depending on lab processing times. AT JET MEDICAL CENTER®, MOST EVALUATIONS CAN BE COMPLETED IN 2 VISITS. Our goal is to efficiently and affordably provide immigration physical exam evaluations with appropriate testing in the shortest time.
