Virtual immigration physical pre-consult

Not near a civil surgeon yet, or want to prepare before your appointment? Start online with Dapinder Kaur, FNP. Your virtual pre-consult walks you through the Form I-693 process, reviews your documents and vaccination records, and gets you ready — in English, Hindi, or Punjabi — so your in-person visit to seal the form is quick and stress-free.

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.

Before you book in Alice: quick answers

Can children or my whole family be examined together?

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

Can I bring a translator to my appointment?

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

What is the difference between a USCIS designated civil surgeon and my regular doctor?

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 I do a virtual green card medical exam in Alice?

You can start with a virtual pre-consult to prepare your documents and understand the process, but a designated civil surgeon must still examine you in person and physically sign Form I-693.

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.

What does the TB screening involve?

Applicants generally take an IGRA blood test for tuberculosis. A positive result leads to follow-up, typically a chest X-ray, before the form can be completed.
