Immigration Medical Exam (I-693) in Berkeley, MO

Your green-card medical exam, close to Berkeley

If USCIS has asked for your Form I-693, you need a designated civil surgeon — and Berkeley applicants have one minutes away. The clinic is practically in your neighborhood, beside Lambert Airport. Dr. Padda completes the full exam in a single visit and hands you the sealed USCIS envelope the same day.

What the I-693 immigration medical exam includes

The Form I-693 exam is required by USCIS for most green card applicants. It must be performed by a physician the government has specifically designated — a civil surgeon. For Berkeley applicants, Dr. Padda performs the complete exam in one visit and seals the results in the USCIS envelope you carry to your interview.

• Medical history & physical exam — a focused review, not a full annual physical.
• Vaccination review — confirming the CDC-required immunizations for adjustment of status, and administering any that are missing.
• Tuberculosis screening — the IGRA blood test (no more 2-visit skin test delays), with follow-up only if indicated.
• Syphilis & gonorrhea testing — the CDC-required lab screening.
• Mental-health and drug/alcohol screening — the standard USCIS assessment.
• Sealed I-693 envelope — completed, signed, and sealed for USCIS. Do not open it.

Why a designated civil surgeon matters

Not every doctor can complete a Form I-693. USCIS only accepts the exam from a physician it has designated as a civil surgeon. Dr. Gurpreet Singh Padda is a DHS-designated civil surgeon and a physician board-certified by five American specialty boards — so the exam is done correctly the first time, which is what prevents the Requests for Evidence and re-exams that delay a green card.

Getting here from Berkeley

The clinic at 4477 Woodson Road, Suite 102 is just a few minutes away, directly beside St. Louis Lambert International Airport with easy parking. Appointments are usually available within days, and most applicants are in and out in about an hour.

Serving Berkeley immigrants

Green-card applicants from Berkeley and the surrounding area rely on ImmigrationExam.us for a fast, correctly-completed I-693 — and, when needed, an N-648 evaluation in their own language.

N-648 disability waiver, if the citizenship test is a barrier

Some applicants cannot complete the English and civics test because of a medical or mental-health condition. The N-648 Medical Certification for Disability Exceptions is a separate evaluation that can waive that requirement when the criteria are met. Dr. Padda performs N-648 evaluations in-house and, when helpful, in the applicant’s own language.
