Immigration Examination

Thank you for selecting The Robbins Health Alliance for your Immigration needs.  Dr. Lisa Robbins has been a Civil Surgeon for over a decade and is authorized to conduct your I-693 examination for your dream of becoming an American citizen!  Your immigration examination  cost is based on the vaccination records  you present during your check in process.  If you do not have ANY vaccination records  your upfront cost is $520.  This does not include cost of a flu shot.  If ALL of your vaccination records are up to date your cost is estimated to be $360.  Because we do not want you to repeat any vaccinations you may have already received, we urge you to bring any vaccinations records you may have to your appointment.  Same day appointments.

Government Update: 

The updated policy, which went into effect on 9/13/2021 and updated on 7/19/2022, will require applicants to receive a COVID-19 vaccination.  PLEASE  submit your Form I-693 that is signed by our civil surgeon no more than 60 days before filing the underlying application for an immigration benefit. The Form I-693 would remain valid for a two-year period following the date the civil surgeon signed it. As such, USCIS is retaining the current maximum two-year validity period of Form I-693, but calculating it in a different manner to both enhance operational efficiencies and reduce the number of requests to applicants for an updated Form I-693.  USCIS officers use Form I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record, to determine whether an applicant for an immigration benefit in the United States is inadmissible under the health-related grounds of inadmissibility. By specifying that the Form I-693 must be signed no more than 60 days before the applicant files the underlying application for which Form I-693 is required, the validity of the form is more closely tied to the timing of the underlying application.  Additionally, requiring submission of a Form I-693 that was signed no more than 60 days before the date the underlying application was filed may, in some cases, maximize the period of time Form I-693 will be valid while the underlying application is under USCIS review. Officers will still have the discretion, as they have always had, to request a new Form I-693 if they have reason to believe an applicant may be inadmissible on the health-related grounds. Delays in adjudicating the underlying application will also be reduced if fewer requests for updated Forms I-693 are necessary.

 Insurance DOES NOT cover the examination however check with your primary doctor for the required vaccinations.
