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.

Frequently asked in Port Wentworth

What happens if something on the exam needs follow up?

Follow-up items such as TB confirmation are recorded on the form, and the doctor explains what happens next. Sealing waits until everything required is complete.

What shots do I need for Form I-693?

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.

Are missing vaccination records a problem?

Missing records are common. The doctor can run titer tests to prove immunity or simply re-administer required vaccines. Flag it when you book so extra time is set aside.

Can my family doctor do my immigration physical?

USCIS designates specific physicians as civil surgeons for immigration exams. Form I-693 signed by anyone else is invalid — check the designation before booking.

Where do I send the sealed Form I-693?

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.

How much time does the appointment itself take?

Most exams take 30 to 60 minutes. It can run longer if you need catch-up vaccines, a TB blood draw, or extra review of your medical history.
