Your USCIS Civil Surgeon · ImmigrationExam.us
Dr. Gurpreet Singh Padda, MD, MBA, MHP, DABIPP, CPE
A DHS-designated civil surgeon and physician board-certified by five American specialty boards — so your Form I-693 immigration medical exam is completed correctly the first time.
Why your civil surgeon matters
USCIS will only accept a Form I-693 from a physician it has specifically designated as a civil surgeon. Beyond that designation, Dr. Padda brings the depth of a physician certified across anesthesiology, pain medicine, interventional pain, addiction medicine, and obesity medicine — plus certification as a cognitive-assessment rater, which matters for the N-648 disability waiver. The result is an exam done right the first time, and the Requests for Evidence that delay a green card avoided.
Not a government agency
Not a government agency. ImmigrationExam.us is the trade name of INTERVENTIONAL CENTER FOR PAIN MANAGEMENT, P.C., a private medical practice in St. Louis, Missouri. We are not U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the Department of Homeland Security, or any other government agency, and we are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by one. “USCIS-designated civil surgeon” means USCIS has designated Dr. Padda to perform the Form I-693 medical examination — it does not make this practice part of USCIS. We are not a law firm and do not provide legal or immigration advice, and we do not file, review, or decide immigration applications. Fees paid to us are for medical services and are separate from any government filing fee. Official USCIS forms and information are always available free at uscis.gov.
