Who can do your immigration physical in Washington Township?

USCIS requires that your medical exam be performed by a designated civil surgeon — not just any licensed physician in Pennsylvania. That rules out most Lehigh County family practices, which is why Washington Township applicants use a directory like the Pennsylvania civil surgeon directory to find qualified providers.

Compare price and language

Pricing near Washington Township tracks the wider Pennsylvania norm of $200–$500 for the exam itself, before any vaccines or testing. If English is not your first language, note that offices serving Lehigh County frequently offer Spanish, Portuguese and Arabic. Applicants in Washington Township often travel a short distance to Allentown for their exam.

Start online if you are not near a doctor

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

Immigration Physical FAQ for Washington Township

Where do I send the sealed Form I-693?

You submit it yourself: include the unopened envelope with your USCIS filing, or bring it to your interview if instructed. The civil surgeon does not mail it for you.

What if I need language support at the exam?

Yes. You can bring your own translator, or ask whether the office has staff who speak your language, since many practices serving Lehigh County already offer multilingual support.

Can I use my insurance for the exam?

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.

What happens if something on the exam needs follow up?

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.

Does a sealed Form I-693 expire?

USCIS generally treats a properly completed and sealed Form I-693 as valid for a set period from the date the designated civil surgeon signs it. Confirm current USCIS guidance for your specific filing.

What does the TB screening involve?

Expect a blood test for TB as part of the exam. Most results are clear; a positive simply triggers a follow-up step like a chest X-ray before sealing.
