Please do not submit this checklist with your Form I-910. It is an optional tool to use as you prepare your form, but does not replace statutory, regulatory, and form instruction requirements. We recommend that you review these requirements before completing and submitting your form. Do not send original documents unless specifically requested in the form instructions or applicable regulations.

If you submit any documents (copies or original documents, if requested) in a foreign language, you must include a full English translation along with a certification from the translator verifying that the translation is complete and accurate, and that they are competent to translate from the foreign language to English.

Did you provide the following?

  • Information about your status in the United States;
  • Copies of medical degrees and current U.S. state or U.S. territory medical licenses; and
  • Proof you meet the professional experience requirement because you have practiced medicine as a physician (MD or DO) for at least four years.
