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.

Start here: civil surgeons for Kenmore applicants

USCIS requires that your medical exam be performed by a designated civil surgeon — not just any licensed physician in New York. A regular family doctor in Erie County cannot sign this form unless they hold the USCIS designation — the New York civil surgeon directory lists doctors who do.

Compare price and language

Pricing near Kenmore tracks the wider New York norm of $200–$500 for the exam itself, before any vaccines or testing. Language support across Erie County commonly includes Spanish, Burmese and Arabic. Applicants in Kenmore often travel a short distance to Buffalo for their exam.

Start online if you are not near a doctor

The virtual pre-consult works well for busy schedules: document review happens online at your convenience, and the in-person portion near Kenmore stays brief.

Immigration Physical FAQ for Kenmore

What if I need language support at the exam?

Bringing your own translator is fine. Many offices around Erie County also have multilingual staff — ask when booking.

Can my family doctor do my immigration physical?

A civil surgeon is a doctor specifically designated by USCIS to perform immigration medical exams and complete Form I-693. Your regular doctor cannot sign this form unless they hold that same designation.

Do my kids need their own immigration physical?

Yes, each family member applying needs an individual exam and form. Offices commonly book families together in one block, so ask for consecutive slots.

What happens if something on the exam needs follow up?

If further testing or treatment is needed — for example a TB follow up — the USCIS civil surgeon notes it on Form I-693 and explains the next steps before the form is finalized.

What does the TB screening involve?

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.

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.
