Norwood applicants ask: Form I-693 FAQ

Is a fully online immigration physical possible for Norwood applicants?

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.

I lost my shot records — can I still do the exam?

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.

How is the required vaccine list decided?

Requirements vary by age under CDC-based rules; common ones include MMR, Tdap, and flu in season. Your civil surgeon reviews your records and identifies exactly what you still need.

How long does the immigration physical take near Norwood?

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?

You can eat, drink, and take medications as usual. The only preparation that matters is having your documents and records ready.

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

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