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.

Around Aventura, expect a base exam fee of $200 to $500 before vaccines and labs.

Form I-693 questions Aventura applicants ask

Do I need to stop eating or taking medication beforehand?

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

How long do I have to submit the sealed form?

A sealed Form I-693 is valid for a set window from the signing date under current USCIS policy. Because these rules get updated, verify the latest guidance for your case.

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.

How is tuberculosis tested during the exam?

Expect a blood test for TB as part of the exam. Most results are clear; a positive simply triggers a follow-up step like a chest X-ray before sealing.

Can I just walk in to an office near Aventura?

A few offices around Aventura take walk-ins, but most work by appointment. Booking ahead avoids wasted trips, especially in busy filing periods.

Does a follow-up finding delay my form?

Follow-up items such as TB confirmation are recorded on the form, and the doctor explains what happens next. Sealing waits until everything required is complete.
