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.

Common questions from Hawthorne applicants

Where do I send the sealed Form I-693?

Keep the envelope sealed and submit it according to your case instructions — with the application package or at the interview. An opened envelope is rejected.

Can I use my insurance for the exam?

Most health plans treat the immigration exam as a non-covered service, though some cover the vaccines involved. Check with both the office and your insurer before the visit.

How long does the immigration physical take near Hawthorne?

The appointment itself usually runs half an hour to an hour — longer only if vaccines or additional testing are needed on the day.

Why can't any doctor sign Form I-693?

USCIS designates specific physicians as civil surgeons for immigration exams. Form I-693 signed by anyone else is invalid — check the designation before booking.

Is any physical preparation needed before the appointment?

No fasting is required. Eat and drink normally, take your regular medications, and bring a list of them to the appointment.

Can we book the exam as a family?

Each applicant requires a separate exam and sealed form regardless of age. Booking the family in one visit is usually possible and saves trips.
