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 Hobart

How much does an immigration medical exam cost in Hobart?

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.
