Virtual immigration physical pre-consult

Frequently asked in Tucker

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.

Does a follow-up finding delay my form?

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.

Can we book the exam as a family?

Yes, each family member applying needs an individual exam and form. Offices commonly book families together in one block, so ask for consecutive slots.

How is tuberculosis tested during the exam?

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.

Will insurance pay for any part of this?

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.

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.
