Immigration Medical Exam (I-693) in Chesterfield, MO
West County applicants complete the USCIS Form I-693 medical exam with a designated civil surgeon about twenty-five minutes east on I-64.
A West County run down Highway 40
Chesterfield sits at the far western end of the area we serve. That changes one practical thing. The drive to either St. Louis County health center is about as long as the drive to us. So arriving fully prepared — records, testing, immunizations — is worth more here than almost anywhere else. That is because it is what turns two trips into one.
What does the immigration medical exam cover?
History, the focused USCIS exam, immunization review and catch-up doses, and on-site tuberculosis, syphilis and gonorrhea testing — 2 to 6 hours in total. Costs and turnaround: fees and timeline. Dose list by age: vaccine requirements.
Why must a designated civil surgeon complete the I-693?
A form completed by a doctor who is not designated is rejected, usually months later. Dr. Gurpreet Singh Padda, MD, MBA, MHP, is a DHS-designated civil surgeon, CSID 111051. He is board-certified by five American specialty boards. The sealed envelope is valid at any USCIS office in the country.
Getting here from Chesterfield
4477 Woodson Rd, Suite 102 is about twenty-five minutes east on I-64/Highway 40. It sits right beside Lambert Airport, with easy parking.
Who travels in from West County
Applicants from Chesterfield Valley, Wildwood and Town & Country. Also families arranging an N-648 evaluation in their own language, when the citizenship test is the obstacle.
N-648 evaluations
Say a medical or mental-health condition prevents an applicant from passing the English and civics test. That condition may support an N-648 disability waiver. It is a separate evaluation from the I-693, and we perform it in house.
Catching up on doses from West County
Missing immunizations are the usual reason a form is not sealed at the first visit. Doses can be given during your exam. From Chesterfield, that is often the more sensible choice. The county’s public clinics are no closer to you than we are.

Frequently asked questions
From Chesterfield, is it faster to get vaccines at the county or at my exam?
Almost always at your exam. Chesterfield is the farthest of the Missouri communities we serve. The drive to either county health center is about the same as the drive here. So getting the doses at the exam saves a whole trip.
Were your earlier doses given abroad? Will USCIS Accept My Foreign Vaccination Records? What Counts for the I-693 explains which records count.
Can I fill out any of the form before I arrive?
Yes, and it shortens the visit. Part 1 is the applicant’s own section. You can complete it online ahead of time. Start here: complete Form I-693 Part 1 online.
Will a medical condition make me a public charge?
Almost certainly not in the way applicants fear. The public-charge test is not a health test, and the myth causes real harm. We cover it here: does a medical condition make you a public charge.
How long should I set aside for the appointment?
Two to six hours. The range is wide because it depends on how much testing and how many vaccines you turn out to need. Timeline detail: fees and timeline.
How much does an immigration medical exam cost?
$390 for the complete I-693 exam: all of it when you arrive with Regular, or $100 at scheduling and $290 when you arrive with Document Verified. The fees and timeline page lists costs and turnaround in full. Coming from Chesterfield, bring your ID and every vaccine record you have. That is because arriving fully prepared is what turns two trips into one.
