Virtual immigration physical pre-consult

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

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.

Immigration Physical FAQ for Polk Township

How long should I plan for the exam in Polk Township?

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.

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.

What happens if something on the exam needs follow up?

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.

What shots do I need for Form I-693?

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 long do I have to submit the sealed form?

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.

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

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