Picking a provider for your Form I-693 in Upper Darby Township

Not every doctor can sign Form I-693: USCIS grants the civil surgeon designation individually, and it is the first thing to verify. A regular family doctor in Delaware County cannot sign this form unless they hold the USCIS designation — the Pennsylvania civil surgeon directory lists doctors who do.

Compare price and language

Base fees near Upper Darby Township generally sit in the $200–$500 band typical for Pennsylvania; vaccines, titers, and TB testing add to that. Language support across Delaware County commonly includes Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese and Haitian Creole. Expect a modest but workable set of options in and around Upper Darby Township, with more choice a short drive away in Lansdowne.

Start online if you are not near a doctor

The virtual pre-consult works well for busy schedules: document review happens online at your convenience, and the in-person portion near Upper Darby Township stays brief.

Frequently asked in Upper Darby Township

What does the green card medical exam cost near Upper Darby Township?

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

Where do I send the sealed Form I-693?

The sealed envelope goes to USCIS with your application, or to your interview if USCIS asks you to bring it. Follow the filing instructions for your specific case — and never open it.

What if I do not have my vaccination records?

Missing records are common. The doctor can run titer tests to prove immunity or simply re-administer required vaccines. Flag it when you book so extra time is set aside.

Will insurance pay for any part of this?

Most health plans treat the immigration exam as a non-covered service, though some cover the vaccines involved. Check with both the office and your insurer before the visit.

Is any physical preparation needed before the appointment?

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

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 Delaware County family doctor, however good, cannot sign it without that designation.
