Virtual immigration physical pre-consult

Not near a civil surgeon yet, or want to prepare before your appointment? Start online with Dapinder Kaur, FNP. Your virtual pre-consult walks you through the Form I-693 process, reviews your documents and vaccination records, and gets you ready — in English, Hindi, or Punjabi — so your in-person visit to seal the form is quick and stress-free.

A civil surgeon must still examine you in person and physically sign Form I-693. The virtual pre-consult prepares you; it does not replace the required exam.

Your Burbank immigration physical questions, answered

Bringing your own translator is fine. Many offices around Los Angeles County also have multilingual staff — ask when booking.
Not fully — USCIS requires an in-person exam. Burbank applicants can, however, start with a virtual pre-consult so the in-person visit is short and well-prepared.
Around Burbank, the exam itself usually costs $200–$500. Vaccines, titers, and TB testing are billed on top, so incomplete records raise the total.
The appointment itself usually runs half an hour to an hour — longer only if vaccines or additional testing are needed on the day.
Each applicant requires a separate exam and sealed form regardless of age. Booking the family in one visit is usually possible and saves trips.
The sealed envelope goes to USCIS with your application, or to your interview if USCIS asks you to bring it. Follow the filing instructions for your specific case — and never open it.
