Yes the envelope will be sealed. However you will get a receipt and if
you want you can ask them to make a photocopy for your records. Be sure
to get at least a photocopy of the vaccination supplement.
The physician must be one from the list of doctors given you by the
USCIS. You can get your innoculations from your own physician if you
have medical insurance, take proof of innoculation with you to the CIS
doctor and save yourself some money.
They will check eyes, ears, throat, in other words a general physical.
Xray for TB, and blood for STD. If you have something wrong with you,
they should tell you.
