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.

Cutler Bay applicants ask: Form I-693 FAQ

What does the green card medical exam cost near Cutler Bay?

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

How is the required vaccine list decided?

There is no single list for everyone — the civil surgeon applies CDC age-based requirements to your documented history. Bring whatever records you have and the gap gets identified at the visit.

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.

Are missing vaccination records a problem?

Yes, this is handled routinely: titer blood tests can confirm immunity, or the required vaccines can be repeated. Tell the office in advance — it changes how they schedule you.

Can I do a virtual green card medical exam in Cutler Bay?

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

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

A civil surgeon is a doctor specifically designated by USCIS to perform immigration medical exams and complete Form I-693. Your regular doctor cannot sign this form unless they hold that same designation.
