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.

Redding applicants ask: Form I-693 FAQ

What does the TB screening involve?

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.

How long do I have to submit the sealed form?

A sealed Form I-693 is valid for a set window from the signing date under current USCIS policy. Because these rules get updated, verify the latest guidance for your case.

How long should I plan for the exam in Redding?

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.

Does a follow-up finding delay my form?

The civil surgeon documents any required follow-up on Form I-693 and walks you through next steps. The form is only finalized once requirements are met.

What should I budget for the exam in Redding?

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

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.
