Where Decatur applicants book their exam

The medical exam is a mandatory green card step for Decatur applicants, and only a USCIS-designated civil surgeon can complete it. That rules out most Adams County family practices, which is why Decatur applicants use a directory like the Indiana civil surgeon directory to find qualified providers.

Compare price and language

Around Decatur, expect a base exam fee of $200 to $500 before vaccines and labs. If English is not your first language, note that offices serving Adams County frequently offer Spanish, Burmese and Arabic. Because Decatur is a small town, many applicants book with a civil surgeon in nearby Fort Wayne or New Haven.

Start online if you are not near a doctor

Common questions from Decatur applicants

What does the green card medical exam cost near Decatur?

The base fee typically runs $200 to $500 around Decatur, plus $0 to $300 or more for vaccines, TB testing and record retrieval depending on your immunization history.

How much time does the appointment itself take?

The appointment itself usually runs half an hour to an hour — longer only if vaccines or additional testing are needed on the day.

What happens if something on the exam needs follow up?

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.

What do I do with the sealed envelope?

The sealed envelope goes to USCIS with your application, or to your interview if USCIS asks you to bring it. Follow the filing instructions for your specific case — and never open it.

Are same-day walk-ins possible?

Appointment policies differ office to office. Calling ahead is always the safer move — peak seasons can book out days in advance.

What if I do not have my vaccination records?

The civil surgeon can order titers — blood tests that check your immunity — or give the required vaccines again if records cannot be found. Mention this when booking so the office can allow extra time.
