Immigration Physical FAQ for White Oak

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 White Oak?

Many providers serving White Oak and Allegheny County speak languages beyond English, commonly including Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, so you can complete your exam in a language you are comfortable with.

How is the required vaccine list decided?

Requirements vary by age under CDC-based rules; common ones include MMR, Tdap, and flu in season. Your civil surgeon reviews your records and identifies exactly what you still need.

Can my family doctor do my immigration physical?

A civil surgeon is a doctor specifically designated by USCIS to perform immigration medical exams and complete Form I-693. Your regular doctor cannot sign this form unless they hold that same designation.

Can children or my whole family be examined together?

Every applicant, including children, needs their own Form I-693. Most offices can schedule family members back to back — mention it when booking.

Do I need to stop eating or taking medication beforehand?

You can eat, drink, and take medications as usual. The only preparation that matters is having your documents and records ready.
