Harris Township applicants ask: Form I-693 FAQ

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.

How is the required vaccine list decided?

There is no single list for everyone — the civil surgeon applies CDC age-based requirements to your documented history. Bring whatever records you have and the gap gets identified at the visit.

How is tuberculosis tested during the exam?

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 my family doctor do my immigration physical?

USCIS designates specific physicians as civil surgeons for immigration exams. Form I-693 signed by anyone else is invalid — check the designation before booking.

Is non-English support available around Harris Township?

Many providers serving Harris Township and Centre County speak languages beyond English, commonly including Spanish, Chinese, Korean, so you can complete your exam in a language you are comfortable with.

How long does the immigration physical take near Harris Township?

Plan for 30–60 minutes in the office. Catch-up vaccines or a TB blood draw can extend the visit somewhat.
