Virtual immigration physical pre-consult

Not near a civil surgeon yet, or want to prepare before your appointment? Start online with Dapinder Kaur, FNP.

How long do I have to submit the sealed form?

Should I fast or prepare physically before the exam?

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