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 Perris applicants

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.

What do I do with the sealed envelope?

The sealed envelope goes to USCIS with your application, or to your interview if USCIS asks you to bring it. Follow the filing instructions for your specific case — and never open it.

Will I need a blood test for TB?

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.

How much time does the appointment itself take?

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.

What if I need language support at the exam?

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

How is the required vaccine list decided?

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.
