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.

Book online

Document review

We check your ID, vaccination records, and USCIS paperwork.

Get matched

We point you to a civil surgeon to seal your Form I-693.

Start here: civil surgeons for Berea applicants

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

Compare price and language

Pricing near Berea tracks the wider Ohio norm of $200–$500 for the exam itself, before any vaccines or testing. Many providers serving Cuyahoga County speak Spanish, Arabic, Nepali and Ukrainian, so you can choose a doctor you can talk to comfortably. Because Berea is a small town, many applicants book with a civil surgeon in nearby Olmsted Falls or Brook Park.

Start online if you are not near a doctor

The virtual pre-consult works well for busy schedules: document review happens online at your convenience, and the in-person portion near Berea stays brief.

Form I-693 questions Berea applicants ask

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

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

Should I fast or prepare physically before the exam?

No fasting is required. Eat and drink normally, take your regular medications, and bring a list of them to the appointment.

How long do I have to submit the sealed form?

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?

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.

Will I need a blood test for TB?

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.

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.
