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.

Choosing a civil surgeon in Richland County

Compare price and language

Pricing near Shelby tracks the wider Ohio norm of $200–$500 for the exam itself, before any vaccines or testing.

Immigration Physical FAQ for Shelby

What happens if something on the exam needs follow up?

The civil surgeon documents any required follow-up on Form I-693 and walks you through next steps. The form is only finalized once requirements are met.

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