Anderson applicants ask: Form I-693 FAQ

How long should I plan for the exam in Anderson?

Most exams take 30 to 60 minutes. It can run longer if you need catch-up vaccines, a TB blood draw, or extra review of your medical history.

Does a sealed Form I-693 expire?

Validity rules have changed over time — the form is valid for a defined period from the civil surgeon’s signature. Check the current USCIS policy for your filing category before submitting.

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

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.

What does the TB screening involve?

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.

Does the doctor send my form to USCIS?

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.

What does the green card medical exam cost near Anderson?

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