Virtual immigration physical pre-consult

Not near a civil surgeon yet, or want to prepare before your appointment? Start online with Dapinder Kaur, FNP.

Frequently asked in Fontana

Can my family doctor do my immigration physical?

USCIS designates specific physicians as civil surgeons for immigration exams. Form I-693 signed by anyone else is invalid — check the designation before booking.

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.

Is any physical preparation needed before the appointment?

There is nothing to prepare physically — no fasting, no stopping medications. Just arrive with your documents and medication list.

What if I need language support at the exam?

Bringing your own translator is fine. Many offices around San Bernardino County also have multilingual staff — ask when booking.

How long does the immigration physical take near Fontana?

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

How much does an immigration medical exam cost in Fontana?

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