Pelham applicants ask: Form I-693 FAQ

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.

How is the required vaccine list decided?

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.

I lost my shot records — can I still do the exam?

Missing records are common. The doctor can run titer tests to prove immunity or simply re-administer required vaccines. Flag it when you book so extra time is set aside.

How much time does the appointment itself take?

The appointment itself usually runs half an hour to an hour — longer only if vaccines or additional testing are needed on the day.

What does the green card medical exam cost near Pelham?

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

Why can't any doctor sign Form I-693?

Only physicians holding the USCIS civil surgeon designation may complete Form I-693. A regular Westchester County family doctor, however good, cannot sign it without that designation.
