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 River Oaks: quick answers

Where do I send the sealed Form I-693?

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.

How much does an immigration medical exam cost in River Oaks?

The base fee typically runs $200 to $500 around River Oaks, plus $0 to $300 or more for vaccines, TB testing and record retrieval depending on your immunization history.

How long do I have to submit the sealed form?

Validity rules have changed over time — the form is valid for a defined period from the civil surgeon’s signature. Check the current USCIS policy for your filing category before submitting.

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.

How long should I plan for the exam in River Oaks?

Plan for 30–60 minutes in the office. Catch-up vaccines or a TB blood draw can extend the visit somewhat.

Can children or my whole family be examined together?

Each applicant requires a separate exam and sealed form regardless of age. Booking the family in one visit is usually possible and saves trips.
