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.

Your Converse immigration physical questions, answered

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.

Does the doctor send my form to USCIS?

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.

Do my kids need their own immigration physical?

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 do a virtual green card medical exam in Converse?

Not fully — USCIS requires an in-person exam. Converse applicants can, however, start with a virtual pre-consult so the in-person visit is short and well-prepared.

Can I just walk in to an office near Converse?

A few offices around Converse take walk-ins, but most work by appointment. Booking ahead avoids wasted trips, especially in busy filing periods.

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.
