Virtual immigration physical pre-consult

Picking a provider for your Form I-693 in Mineral Wells

Frequently asked in Mineral Wells

Are same-day walk-ins possible?

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

What does the green card medical exam cost near Mineral Wells?

The base fee typically runs $200 to $500 around Mineral Wells, plus $0 to $300 or more for vaccines, TB testing and record retrieval depending on your immunization history.

What if I do not have my vaccination records?

The civil surgeon can order titers — blood tests that check your immunity — or give the required vaccines again if records cannot be found. Mention this when booking so the office can allow extra time.

Does a sealed Form I-693 expire?

USCIS generally treats a properly completed and sealed Form I-693 as valid for a set period from the date the designated civil surgeon signs it. Confirm current USCIS guidance for your specific filing.

Does the doctor send my form to USCIS?

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.

Which vaccines are required for the immigration physical?

There is no single list for everyone — the civil surgeon applies CDC age-based requirements to your documented history. Bring whatever records you have and the gap gets identified at the visit.
