Every cost, published. Every turnaround time, stated. The I-693 exam is $390, flat — and most applicants have a sealed form within one week of their visit.
Form I-693 exam fees
| Service | What it covers | Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Initial I-693 examination | History & physical, vaccination record review, form completion and sealing per USCIS guidelines. $100 non-refundable scheduling fee at booking; $290 due at the visit. | $390 |
| Follow-up visit (if required) | Additional evaluation per visit — e.g., reviewing late lab results or new vaccine records | $190 |
| Laboratory testing | IGRA tuberculosis blood test, syphilis blood test, gonorrhea urine test — billed by the lab based on age-required panels | Lab rates |
| Vaccinations | Only doses you’re genuinely missing; county health departments offer low-cost options | Per dose |
There is no USCIS filing fee for Form I-693 itself. Payment accepted: cash, check, or card. Specialty consultations, if medically required, are billed separately.
Processing timeline
Day 0 — Your exam visit
History & physical, vaccine review, and all lab draws happen in one appointment (plan 2–6 hours).
Days 2–5 — Laboratory results
The IGRA tuberculosis blood test and syphilis/gonorrhea screens typically result within 2–5 business days. Positive or borderline TB results may require a chest X-ray, which adds several days.
Days 3–7 — Form completed and sealed
Once results are in, Dr. Padda completes and signs Form I-693, seals it for USCIS, and provides your personal copy. We text you the moment it’s ready for pickup.

Dr. Padda explains exactly what the labs are, why USCIS requires them, and what happens if a result comes back positive.
