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 New Castle

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.

Why can't any doctor sign Form I-693?

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

How long do I have to submit the sealed form?

Validity rules have changed over time — the form is valid for a defined period from the civil surgeon’s signature. Check the current USCIS policy for your filing category before submitting.

Does health insurance cover the immigration medical exam?

Usually not for the exam itself — it is not considered medical treatment — but vaccine costs are sometimes covered. Ask your insurer and confirm what the office can bill.

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.

How much does an immigration medical exam cost in New Castle?

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