Virtual immigration physical pre-consult

Not near a civil surgeon yet, or want to prepare before your appointment? Start online with Dapinder Kaur, FNP.

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

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.

Do I need an appointment, or are walk-ins accepted?

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.

Can I complete my exam in my own language near Pittston?

Language support around Luzerne County commonly includes Spanish, Nepali, Polish. Ask when booking whether the office has staff who speak your language.
