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.

Can I bring a translator to my appointment?

Bringing your own translator is fine. Many offices around Tarrant County also have multilingual staff — ask when booking.

Can children or my whole family be examined together?

Beyond English, offices serving Kennedale frequently offer Spanish, Vietnamese, Korean, Urdu. If your language is not listed, you are welcome to bring a translator.

Can I use my insurance for the exam?

Coverage is the exception, not the rule, for the exam fee. Vaccines are occasionally billable to insurance, so it is worth a call to your plan before paying out of pocket.
