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.

Choosing a civil surgeon in Delaware County

The medical exam is a mandatory green card step for Upper Chichester Township applicants, and only a USCIS-designated civil surgeon can complete it. A regular family doctor in Delaware County cannot sign this form unless they hold the USCIS designation — the Pennsylvania civil surgeon directory lists doctors who do.

Compare price and language

Base fees near Upper Chichester Township generally sit in the $200–$500 band typical for Pennsylvania; vaccines, titers, and TB testing add to that. Many providers serving Delaware County speak Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese and Haitian Creole, so you can choose a doctor you can talk to comfortably. With fewer providers based directly in Upper Chichester Township, most applicants use offices in Radnor Township or elsewhere in Delaware County.

Start online if you are not near a doctor

If the nearest civil surgeon to Upper Chichester Township is a drive away, begin with a virtual pre-consult to get your documents in order first, then visit in person only to complete and seal the form.
