I-693 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about your USCIS Form I-693 medical exam.

01

Do I need to fast before the exam?

No, fasting required for any USCIS-required tests (QuantiFERON, RPR, Gonorrhea NAAT). Eat and drink normally before your appointment. Being hydrated makes for easier blood draws!

02

Can I bring someone with me?

Yes — 1 family member or friend can accompany you for support. Note: for adults, the medical history portion may require patient-only privacy due to the sensitive questions involved.

03

How long does the appointment take?

45-60 minutes total.

04

When do I get my sealed Form I-693?

Typically 7-10 working days after your visit. The form is signed and sealed at that visit (not mailed or delivered later).

05

What if I don't have vaccination records?

We have several options: titer testing (MMR, Hepatitis B, Polio, Varicella) to confirm immunity, re-vaccination (safe even if already immune), or waiting for records to arrive (delays your I-693).

06

Should I get vaccines before my appointment?

It depends on your timeline. If you have records of recent vaccines, bring them. If you have insurance and can plan ahead, getting vaccines at a pharmacy first saves money. Otherwise, some vaccines are available at our clinic same-day.

07

Can I print Form I-693 at the clinic?

No, you have to fill out your part BEFORE your visit.

08

What if I'm pregnant?

Inform us at booking. We can complete your I-693 during pregnancy with appropriate exemptions for live vaccines (MMR, Varicella) and X-ray-related considerations.

09

Do you accept walk-ins?

No. We require appointments to ensure thorough, personalized care. Same-week appointments are usually available.

10

What if I need to reschedule?

Call (571) 486-0128 as soon as possible. We'll work with you to find a new time.
