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 Oakland applicants

Can any part of the exam happen online?

No exam can be completed entirely online. The virtual pre-consult handles document review and preparation; the physical exam and sealed signature must happen in person.

Do my kids need their own immigration physical?

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

Will I need a blood test for TB?

Applicants generally take an IGRA blood test for tuberculosis. A positive result leads to follow-up, typically a chest X-ray, before the form can be completed.

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.

Do I need to stop eating or taking medication beforehand?

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

What languages do USCIS civil surgeons near Oakland speak?

Language support around Alameda County commonly includes Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, Tagalog. Ask when booking whether the office has staff who speak your language.
