If English is not your first language, note that offices serving San Bernardino County frequently offer Spanish, Arabic and Chinese.

Can I use my insurance for the exam?

Usually not for the exam itself — it is not considered medical treatment — but vaccine costs are sometimes covered. Ask your insurer and confirm what the office can bill.

Can I bring a translator to my appointment?

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

Can I just walk in to an office near Upland?

Policies vary by practice. Some offices accept limited walk-ins, but scheduling ahead is recommended, especially during peak filing seasons.

Is non-English support available around Upland?

Many providers serving Upland and San Bernardino County speak languages beyond English, commonly including Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, so you can complete your exam in a language you are comfortable with.

What shots do I need for Form I-693?

USCIS follows age-based vaccine requirements set by CDC guidance. The exact list depends on your age and documented history — the civil surgeon determines what applies and can administer missing doses.
