Lynwood applicants ask: Form I-693 FAQ

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.

Do my kids need their own immigration physical?

Each applicant requires a separate exam and sealed form regardless of age. Booking the family in one visit is usually possible and saves trips.

Will insurance pay for any part of this?

Usually not for the exam itself — it is not considered medical treatment — but vaccine costs are sometimes covered. Ask your insurer and confirm what the office can bill.

What if I do not have my vaccination records?

The civil surgeon can order titers — blood tests that check your immunity — or give the required vaccines again if records cannot be found. Mention this when booking so the office can allow extra time.

Can I bring a translator to my appointment?

Yes. You can bring your own translator, or ask whether the office has staff who speak your language, since many practices serving Los Angeles County already offer multilingual support.

What languages do USCIS civil surgeons near Lynwood speak?

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