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.

Your San Leandro immigration physical questions, answered

Can I just walk in to an office near San Leandro?

A few offices around San Leandro take walk-ins, but most work by appointment. Booking ahead avoids wasted trips, especially in busy filing periods.

Is an interpreter allowed at the appointment?

Bringing your own translator is fine. Many offices around Alameda County also have multilingual staff — ask when booking.

Can my family doctor do my immigration physical?

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

Is a fully online immigration physical possible for San Leandro applicants?

No exam can be completed entirely online. The virtual pre-consult handles document review and preparation; the physical exam and sealed signature must happen in person.

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.

How long is Form I-693 valid once completed?

USCIS generally treats a properly completed and sealed Form I-693 as valid for a set period from the date the designated civil surgeon signs it. Confirm current USCIS guidance for your specific filing.
