Virtual immigration physical pre-consult

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

Choosing a civil surgeon in Merced County

USCIS requires that your medical exam be performed by a designated civil surgeon — not just any licensed physician in California. That rules out most Merced County family practices, which is why Livingston applicants use a directory like the California civil surgeon directory to find qualified providers.

Compare price and language

Exam costs around Livingston usually fall within the California range of $200 to $500, with vaccines and lab work billed separately. If English is not your first language, note that offices serving Merced County frequently offer Spanish, Punjabi and Hmong. For many Livingston residents the closest designated office is in Modesto — a short trip that rarely adds more than a day to the process.

Start online if you are not near a doctor

You can shorten the in-person visit by starting with a virtual pre-consult: your ID, vaccination records, and USCIS paperwork get checked online, and you arrive prepared.

Common questions from Livingston applicants

Does a follow-up finding delay my form?

If further testing or treatment is needed — for example a TB follow up — the USCIS civil surgeon notes it on Form I-693 and explains the next steps before the form is finalized.

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

Only physicians holding the USCIS civil surgeon designation may complete Form I-693. A regular Merced County family doctor, however good, cannot sign it without that designation.

How long is Form I-693 valid once completed?

USCIS generally treats a properly completed and sealed Form I-693 as valid for a set period from the date the designated civil surgeon signs it. Confirm current USCIS guidance for your specific filing.

What does the green card medical exam cost near Livingston?

Budget $200 to $500 for the base exam near Livingston. Your final total depends mostly on which vaccines and tests you still need — that can add $300 or more.

What languages do USCIS civil surgeons near Livingston speak?

Language support around Merced County commonly includes Spanish, Punjabi, Hmong. Ask when booking whether the office has staff who speak your language.

Where do I send the sealed Form I-693?

You submit it yourself: include the unopened envelope with your USCIS filing, or bring it to your interview if instructed. The civil surgeon does not mail it for you.
