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.

Rio Vista applicants ask: Form I-693 FAQ

How long is Form I-693 valid once completed?

Validity rules have changed over time — the form is valid for a defined period from the civil surgeon’s signature. Check the current USCIS policy for your filing category before submitting.

What do I do with the sealed envelope?

You submit it yourself: include the unopened envelope with your USCIS filing, or bring it to your interview if instructed. The civil surgeon does not mail it for you.

Do I need an appointment, or are walk-ins accepted?

Appointment policies differ office to office. Calling ahead is always the safer move — peak seasons can book out days in advance.

What is the difference between a USCIS designated civil surgeon and my regular doctor?

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

What should I budget for the exam in Rio Vista?

The base fee typically runs $200 to $500 around Rio Vista, plus $0 to $300 or more for vaccines, TB testing and record retrieval depending on your immunization history.

Is a fully online immigration physical possible for Rio Vista applicants?

Not fully — USCIS requires an in-person exam. Rio Vista applicants can, however, start with a virtual pre-consult so the in-person visit is short and well-prepared.
