Silver Spring Township applicants ask: Form I-693 FAQ

What if I need language support at the exam?

Bringing your own translator is fine. Many offices around Cumberland County also have multilingual staff — ask when booking.

What should I budget for the exam in Silver Spring Township?

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

Can I just walk in to an office near Silver Spring Township?

Appointment policies differ office to office. Calling ahead is always the safer move — peak seasons can book out days in advance.

Do my kids need their own immigration physical?

Yes, each family member applying needs an individual exam and form. Offices commonly book families together in one block, so ask for consecutive slots.

What happens if something on the exam needs follow up?

Follow-up items such as TB confirmation are recorded on the form, and the doctor explains what happens next. Sealing waits until everything required is complete.

What does the TB screening involve?

TB screening is usually a simple blood draw (an IGRA test). If it comes back positive, the civil surgeon orders follow-up such as a chest X-ray before finalizing your form.
