Immigration Physical FAQ for Montgomery

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

A civil surgeon is a doctor specifically designated by USCIS to perform immigration medical exams and complete Form I-693. Your regular doctor cannot sign this form unless they hold that same designation.

Is a fully online immigration physical possible for Montgomery applicants?

Not fully — USCIS requires an in-person exam. Montgomery applicants can, however, start with a virtual pre-consult so the in-person visit is short and well-prepared.

How long should I plan for the exam in Montgomery?

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.

Should I fast or prepare physically before the exam?

There is nothing to prepare physically — no fasting, no stopping medications. Just arrive with your documents and medication list.

How long is Form I-693 valid once completed?

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.

What should I budget for the exam in Montgomery?

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