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.

Common questions from Fairfield applicants

Can any part of the exam happen online?

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.

What does the green card medical exam cost near Fairfield?

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

Should I fast or prepare physically before the exam?

You can eat, drink, and take medications as usual. The only preparation that matters is having your documents and records ready.

Can children or my whole family be examined together?

Yes, each family member applying needs an individual exam and form. Offices commonly book families together in one block, so ask for consecutive slots.

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.

How long should I plan for the exam in Fairfield?

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.
