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.

How Monrovia applicants find a designated civil surgeon

Form I-693 can only be completed by a doctor USCIS has specifically designated as a civil surgeon. That rules out most Los Angeles County family practices, which is why Monrovia applicants use a directory like the California civil surgeon directory to find qualified providers.

Compare price and language

Pricing near Monrovia tracks the wider California norm of $200–$500 for the exam itself, before any vaccines or testing. Many providers serving Los Angeles County speak Spanish, Korean, Armenian and Tagalog, so you can choose a doctor you can talk to comfortably. Because Monrovia is a compact city, many applicants book with a civil surgeon in nearby El Monte or Arcadia.

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.

Monrovia applicants ask: Form I-693 FAQ

Do my kids need their own immigration physical?

Every applicant, including children, needs their own Form I-693. Most offices can schedule family members back to back — mention it when booking.

Can my family doctor do my immigration physical?

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

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.

Is an interpreter allowed at the appointment?

You may bring a translator, and it is worth asking about in-house language support: several practices serving Los Angeles County have multilingual teams.

How long should I plan for the exam in Monrovia?

Most exams take 30 to 60 minutes. It can run longer if you need catch-up vaccines, a TB blood draw, or extra review of your medical history.

Which vaccines are required for the immigration physical?

Requirements vary by age under CDC-based rules; common ones include MMR, Tdap, and flu in season. Your civil surgeon reviews your records and identifies exactly what you still need.
