What to Expect: Timing and Process
If you’re preparing for a green card or adjustment of status application, the I-693 immigration medical exam is one of the most time-sensitive parts of your paperwork. Here’s what to expect from Dr. Silva, a USCIS-authorized civil surgeon:
- The exam itself: Typically completed in a single visit, including the physical exam, required vaccinations review, and any necessary testing.
- Results processing: Your I-693 form and results are processed efficiently after your visit, not left to sit for weeks.
- Vaccination records matter: Bringing your existing vaccination records to your appointment can help avoid delays or unnecessary repeat vaccinations.
- Bilingual support throughout: Dr. Silva and staff support the entire exam process in English and Spanish, so nothing gets lost in translation on paperwork this important.
- What affects timing: Missing vaccination records, needing additional testing, or incomplete paperwork from USCIS can add time — coming prepared helps keep things moving.
- The completed form: Once finished, your sealed I-693 is ready for you to submit as part of your application package.
