Choosing a civil surgeon in Lancaster County

The medical exam is a mandatory green card step for New Holland applicants, and only a USCIS-designated civil surgeon can complete it. A regular family doctor in Lancaster County cannot sign this form unless they hold the USCIS designation — the Pennsylvania civil surgeon directory lists doctors who do.

Compare price and language

Around New Holland, expect a base exam fee of $200 to $500 before vaccines and labs. If English is not your first language, note that offices serving Lancaster County frequently offer Spanish, Nepali and Arabic. Because New Holland is a small town, many applicants book with a civil surgeon in nearby East Earl Township or Ephrata.

Start online if you are not near a doctor

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

New Holland applicants ask: Form I-693 FAQ

How much does an immigration medical exam cost in New Holland?

Budget $200 to $500 for the base exam near New Holland. Your final total depends mostly on which vaccines and tests you still need — that can add $300 or more.

What if I do not have my vaccination records?

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.

What is the difference between a USCIS designated civil surgeon and my regular doctor?

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

What if the exam finds something that needs more testing?

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.

Does a sealed Form I-693 expire?

Validity rules have changed over time — the form is valid for a defined period from the civil surgeon’s signature. Check the current USCIS policy for your filing category before submitting.

Should I fast or prepare physically before the exam?

No fasting is required. Eat and drink normally, take your regular medications, and bring a list of them to the appointment.
