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.

The Contra Costa County provider landscape

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

Compare price and language

Base fees near Pittsburg generally sit in the $200–$500 band typical for California; vaccines, titers, and TB testing add to that. If English is not your first language, note that offices serving Contra Costa County frequently offer Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese and Tagalog. There is a reasonable choice of providers serving Pittsburg and the wider Contra Costa County area.

Start online if you are not near a doctor

A virtual pre-consult lets Pittsburg applicants review documents and vaccination records online before the required in-person exam — useful if your nearest office is in Antioch or beyond.

Missing records are common. The doctor can run titer tests to prove immunity or simply re-administer required vaccines. Flag it when you book so extra time is set aside.
