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.

Finding the right civil surgeon near Bowling Green

USCIS requires that your medical exam be performed by a designated civil surgeon — not just any licensed physician in Ohio. That rules out most Wood County family practices, which is why Bowling Green applicants use a directory like the Ohio civil surgeon directory to find qualified providers.

Compare price and language

Exam costs around Bowling Green usually fall within the Ohio range of $200 to $500, with vaccines and lab work billed separately. Many providers serving Wood County speak Spanish, Arabic and Vietnamese, so you can choose a doctor you can talk to comfortably. Because Bowling Green is a small city, many applicants book with a civil surgeon in nearby Toledo or Perrysburg.

Common questions from Bowling Green applicants

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.

Which vaccines are required for the immigration physical?

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.

What do I do with the sealed envelope?

Keep the envelope sealed and submit it according to your case instructions — with the application package or at the interview. An opened envelope is rejected.

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

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

Will I need a blood test for TB?

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.

What languages do USCIS civil surgeons near Bowling Green speak?

Language support around Wood County commonly includes Spanish, Arabic, Vietnamese. Ask when booking whether the office has staff who speak your language.
