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.

Immigration Physical FAQ for Tallahassee

Will I need a blood test for TB?

Applicants generally take an IGRA blood test for tuberculosis. A positive result leads to follow-up, typically a chest X-ray, before the form can be completed.

Should I fast or prepare physically before the exam?

There is nothing to prepare physically — no fasting, no stopping medications. Just arrive with your documents and medication list.

Can children or my whole family be examined together?

Every applicant, including children, needs their own Form I-693. Most offices can schedule family members back to back — mention it when booking.

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 Leon County family doctor, however good, cannot sign it without that designation.

Can I use my insurance for the exam?

Most health plans treat the immigration exam as a non-covered service, though some cover the vaccines involved. Check with both the office and your insurer before the visit.

Is non-English support available around Tallahassee?

Language support around Leon County commonly includes Spanish, Vietnamese, Tagalog. Ask when booking whether the office has staff who speak your language.
