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 Goshen

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 children or my whole family be examined together?

Every applicant, including children, needs their own Form I-693. Most offices can schedule family members back to back — mention it when booking.

Can any part of the exam happen online?

No exam can be completed entirely online. The virtual pre-consult handles document review and preparation; the physical exam and sealed signature must happen in person.

What is the difference between a USCIS designated civil surgeon and my regular doctor?

Only physicians holding the USCIS civil surgeon designation may complete Form I-693. A regular Orange County family doctor, however good, cannot sign it without that designation.

Which vaccines are required for the immigration physical?

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.

Does a sealed Form I-693 expire?

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.
