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.

Start here: civil surgeons for Windcrest applicants

USCIS requires that your medical exam be performed by a designated civil surgeon — not just any licensed physician in Texas. A regular family doctor in Bexar County cannot sign this form unless they hold the USCIS designation — the Texas civil surgeon directory lists doctors who do.

Compare price and language

Base fees near Windcrest generally sit in the $200–$500 band typical for Texas; vaccines, titers, and TB testing add to that. Language support across Bexar County commonly includes Spanish, Vietnamese and Tagalog. With fewer providers based directly in Windcrest, most applicants use offices in San Antonio or elsewhere in Bexar County.

Start online if you are not near a doctor

A virtual pre-consult lets Windcrest applicants review documents and vaccination records online before the required in-person exam — useful if your nearest office is in Live Oak or beyond.

Windcrest applicants ask: Form I-693 FAQ

What does the green card medical exam cost near Windcrest?

Around Windcrest, the exam itself usually costs $200–$500. Vaccines, titers, and TB testing are billed on top, so incomplete records raise the total.

How is the required vaccine list decided?

There is no single list for everyone — the civil surgeon applies CDC age-based requirements to your documented history. Bring whatever records you have and the gap gets identified at the visit.

Do my kids need their own immigration physical?

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

Does health insurance cover the immigration medical 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.

Is any physical preparation needed before the appointment?

There is nothing to prepare physically — no fasting, no stopping medications. Just arrive with your documents and medication list.

Can I bring a translator to my appointment?

You may bring a translator, and it is worth asking about in-house language support: several practices serving Bexar County have multilingual teams.
