Common questions from Elmsford applicants

Should I fast or prepare physically before the exam?

You can eat, drink, and take medications as usual. The only preparation that matters is having your documents and records ready.

What if I need language support at the exam?

How long is Form I-693 valid once completed?

Validity rules have changed over time — the form is valid for a defined period from the civil surgeon’s signature. Check the current USCIS policy for your filing category before submitting.

How is tuberculosis tested during the exam?

TB screening is usually a simple blood draw (an IGRA test). If it comes back positive, the civil surgeon orders follow-up such as a chest X-ray before finalizing your form.
