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.

Your civil surgeon options in and around La Verne

Your La Verne immigration physical questions, answered

How is tuberculosis tested during the exam?

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.

How much time does the appointment itself take?

The appointment itself usually runs half an hour to an hour — longer only if vaccines or additional testing are needed on the day.

What is the difference between a USCIS designated civil surgeon and my regular doctor?

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 shots do I need for Form I-693?

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.

Where do I send the sealed Form I-693?

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.

Can I complete my exam in my own language near La Verne?

Beyond English, offices serving La Verne frequently offer Spanish, Korean, Armenian, Tagalog. If your language is not listed, you are welcome to bring a translator.
