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 Martinez applicants

What does the green card medical exam cost near Martinez?

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

Are missing vaccination records a problem?

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.

What happens if something on the exam needs follow up?

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.

Will I need a blood test for TB?

Expect a blood test for TB as part of the exam. Most results are clear; a positive simply triggers a follow-up step like a chest X-ray before sealing.

Does a sealed Form I-693 expire?

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

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