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.

USCIS requires that your medical exam be performed by a designated civil surgeon — not just any licensed physician in Texas. This page and the wider Texas civil surgeon directory help Cleveland applicants find doctors who hold that designation.

Compare price and language

Exam costs around Cleveland usually fall within the Texas range of $200 to $500, with vaccines and lab work billed separately. Many providers serving Liberty County speak Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese and Arabic, so you can choose a doctor you can talk to comfortably.
