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.

Frequently asked in Kennett Square

There is nothing to prepare physically — no fasting, no stopping medications. Just arrive with your documents and medication list.
The civil surgeon can order titers — blood tests that check your immunity — or give the required vaccines again if records cannot be found. Mention this when booking so the office can allow extra time.
You can start with a virtual pre-consult to prepare your documents and understand the process, but a designated civil surgeon must still examine you in person and physically sign Form I-693.
Coverage is the exception, not the rule, for the exam fee. Vaccines are occasionally billable to insurance, so it is worth a call to your plan before paying out of pocket.
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.
Around Kennett Square, the exam itself usually costs $200–$500. Vaccines, titers, and TB testing are billed on top, so incomplete records raise the total.
