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.

Book online

Document review

We check your ID, vaccination records, and USCIS paperwork.

Form I-693 questions San Ramon applicants ask

What if the exam finds something that needs more testing?

If further testing or treatment is needed — for example a TB follow up — the USCIS civil surgeon notes it on Form I-693 and explains the next steps before the form is finalized.

Which vaccines are required for the immigration physical?

USCIS follows age-based vaccine requirements set by CDC guidance. The exact list depends on your age and documented history — the civil surgeon determines what applies and can administer missing doses.

What does the green card medical exam cost near San Ramon?

Budget $200 to $500 for the base exam near San Ramon. Your final total depends mostly on which vaccines and tests you still need — that can add $300 or more.

Can any part of the exam happen online?

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.

Is an interpreter allowed at the appointment?

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

What do I do with the sealed envelope?

Keep the envelope sealed and submit it according to your case instructions — with the application package or at the interview. An opened envelope is rejected.
