Mount Vernon applicants ask: Form I-693 FAQ

What does the TB screening involve?

Applicants generally take an IGRA blood test for tuberculosis. A positive result leads to follow-up, typically a chest X-ray, before the form can be completed.

What does the green card medical exam cost near Mount Vernon?

Around Mount Vernon, the exam itself usually costs $200–$500. Vaccines, titers, and TB testing are billed on top, so incomplete records raise the total.

What if the exam finds something that needs more testing?

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.

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

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

Can I do a virtual green card medical exam in Mount Vernon?

No exam can be completed entirely online. The virtual pre-consult handles document review and preparation; the physical exam and sealed signature must happen in person.

How long should I plan for the exam in Mount Vernon?

Plan for 30–60 minutes in the office. Catch-up vaccines or a TB blood draw can extend the visit somewhat.
