ESIf you’re completing your consular medical exam as part of your U.S. permanent residence visa process, Ciudad Juárez is your main destination. At CMI—Clinica Medica Internacional—we want your experience in Cd. Juárez to be as straightforward as possible, so we prepared this essential guide to help you organize your trip and avoid setbacks. Follow these tips for a stress-free process—we’re here to make your time in Juárez a success.
Preparations before you travel: what to consider
- Documents to bring. Your valid passport, the official consular appointment letter, and your vaccination history.
- Timing your appointment. Book your medical exam 2–3 days before your interview at the U.S. Consulate to allow a buffer for any unforeseen issues and to coordinate timings smoothly.
- What to wear and carry. Wear comfortable, loose clothing that’s easy to remove (helps with X-rays and the physical exam); bring only essentials and keep your documents with you.
- Update on requirements. As of March 11, 2025, the COVID-19 vaccine is no longer required for U.S. residence-visa immigration medical exams, so you won’t need proof of COVID vaccination for this step.
