Immigration Physical FAQ for Chamblee

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

Yes, this is handled routinely: titer blood tests can confirm immunity, or the required vaccines can be repeated. Tell the office in advance — it changes how they schedule you.

What does the green card medical exam cost near Chamblee?

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

Do my kids need their own immigration physical?

Every applicant, including children, needs their own Form I-693. Most offices can schedule family members back to back — mention it when booking.

Is any physical preparation needed before the appointment?

There is nothing to prepare physically — no fasting, no stopping medications. Just arrive with your documents and medication list.

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

USCIS designates specific physicians as civil surgeons for immigration exams. Form I-693 signed by anyone else is invalid — check the designation before booking.

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.
