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 Northampton County

Pricing near Lehigh Township tracks the wider Pennsylvania norm of $200–$500 for the exam itself, before any vaccines or testing. If English is not your first language, note that offices serving Northampton County frequently offer Spanish, Portuguese and Arabic. Applicants in Lehigh Township often travel a short distance to Palmer Township for their exam.

Start online if you are not near a doctor

A virtual pre-consult lets Lehigh Township applicants review documents and vaccination records online before the required in-person exam — useful if your nearest office is in Palmer Township or beyond.

Lehigh Township applicants ask: Form I-693 FAQ

Does a follow-up finding delay my form?

If further testing or treatment is needed — for example a TB follow up — the USCIS civil surgeon notes it on Form I-693 and explains the next steps before the form is finalized.

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.

Can I do a virtual green card medical exam in Lehigh Township?

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

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

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.

How long is Form I-693 valid once completed?

A sealed Form I-693 is valid for a set window from the signing date under current USCIS policy. Because these rules get updated, verify the latest guidance for your case.

How much does an immigration medical exam cost in Lehigh Township?

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