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 Lancaster

Do my kids need their own immigration physical?

Each applicant requires a separate exam and sealed form regardless of age. Booking the family in one visit is usually possible and saves trips.

Can I bring a translator to my appointment?

You may bring a translator, and it is worth asking about in-house language support: several practices serving Fairfield County have multilingual teams.

How much does an immigration medical exam cost in Lancaster?

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

How long should I plan for the exam in Lancaster?

Does health insurance cover the immigration medical exam?
