Immigration Medical Exam (I-693) in Berkeley, MO
Berkeley residents have a DHS-designated civil surgeon for the USCIS Form I-693 immigration medical exam just minutes away on Woodson. The county health center for north county is in the same ZIP code.
Both stops are in 63134
Berkeley is the one community we serve where our clinic and the public vaccine clinic share a ZIP code. John C. Murphy Health Center is on North Hanley in Berkeley itself. Our office is on Woodson, in the same 63134. Need catch-up doses before your exam? The whole errand stays inside your own city.
What happens at the immigration medical exam?
You give your history and have the USCIS-specified examination. You get an immunization review, with any doses you are missing. The required tuberculosis, syphilis and gonorrhea testing is done on site. It takes 2 to 6 hours. Published costs: fees and timeline. Requirements by age: vaccine requirements.
Designation, not proximity, is what USCIS checks
Being nearby does not qualify a physician to sign an I-693. The designation does. Dr. Gurpreet Singh Padda, MD, MBA, MHP holds it (CSID 111051). He also holds board certification from five American specialty boards.
Getting here from Berkeley
4477 Woodson Rd, Suite 102 is a few minutes away, right beside Lambert Airport, with parking at the door.
Who we see from Berkeley
We see family and employment-based applicants from Berkeley and nearby north county towns. We also do N-648 evaluations. They are for people who cannot pass a citizenship test for medical reasons.
About the N-648
Sometimes a medical or mental-health condition keeps an applicant from completing the English and civics requirement. Then the N-648 disability waiver can excuse it. It is a separate evaluation, done here. Where it helps, it is done in the applicant’s own language.
The county health center in Berkeley
Vaccine history you cannot prove delays more forms than anything else. You can have missing doses given at your exam. Or, and this is unique to Berkeley applicants, you can get them at a county clinic inside your own city limits.

Records from a clinic outside the U.S. are covered in Will USCIS Accept My Foreign Vaccination Records? What Counts for the I-693.
What did the May 2026 USCIS memo change?
It changed how some parts of the medical examination are handled and reported. What it really means in practice, not as rumor, is set out in our reading of the May 2026 memo.
Why are there mental health questions on the form?
They exist to spot a narrow set of safety concerns. They do not screen out anyone who has ever seen a therapist. Their real purpose: the mental health questions are not a trap.

Most applicants are seen within days, not weeks. You can pick a time directly at scheduling.
