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.

Can we book the exam as a family?

Every applicant, including children, needs their own Form I-693. Most offices can schedule family members back to back — mention it when booking.

What shots do I need for Form I-693?

Requirements vary by age under CDC-based rules; common ones include MMR, Tdap, and flu in season. Your civil surgeon reviews your records and identifies exactly what you still need.

Can I do a virtual green card medical exam in Live Oak?

Not fully — USCIS requires an in-person exam. Live Oak applicants can, however, start with a virtual pre-consult so the in-person visit is short and well-prepared.
