Virtual immigration physical pre-consult

Not near a civil surgeon yet, or want to prepare before your appointment? Start online with Dapinder Kaur, FNP.

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 Pomona applicants

Can any part of the exam happen online?

You can start with a virtual pre-consult to prepare your documents and understand the process, but a designated civil surgeon must still examine you in person and physically sign Form I-693.

Can I just walk in to an office near Pomona?

Policies vary by practice. Some offices accept limited walk-ins, but scheduling ahead is recommended, especially during peak filing seasons.

Can my family doctor do my immigration physical?

USCIS designates specific physicians as civil surgeons for immigration exams. Form I-693 signed by anyone else is invalid — check the designation before booking.

Will I need a blood test for TB?

TB screening is usually a simple blood draw (an IGRA test). If it comes back positive, the civil surgeon orders follow-up such as a chest X-ray before finalizing your form.

What happens if something on the exam needs follow up?

Follow-up items such as TB confirmation are recorded on the form, and the doctor explains what happens next. Sealing waits until everything required is complete.

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.
