Serving Maryville & Madison County, Illinois
Immigration Medical Exam (I-693) in Maryville, IL
Maryville applicants complete the USCIS Form I-693 with a DHS-designated civil surgeon who also holds full staff privileges at Anderson Hospital, here in Maryville. The designation is federal, so the sealed form is valid anywhere.
Your civil surgeon is on staff at your own hospital
Dr. Padda holds full staff privileges at Anderson Hospital, 6800 State Route 162, Maryville — a credentialed member of that medical staff, vetted by the hospital in your own community. The I-693 examination itself is performed at the Woodson office across the river, where the testing and the sealed-envelope process are set up, but the hospital appointment is a straightforward way to satisfy yourself about who is signing your form.
What the exam consists of
History, the USCIS-specified examination, an immunization review with any missing doses, and tuberculosis, syphilis and gonorrhea testing drawn on site — 2 to 6 hours. Costs and turnaround: fees and timeline. Dose requirements by age: vaccine requirements.
Federal designation, valid across Illinois
A civil surgeon designation is issued federally, so an Illinois applicant is fully served by a designated physician in Missouri. Dr. Padda is designated CSID 111051 and certified by five American specialty boards.
A short trip from Maryville
4477 Woodson Rd, Suite 102 is about thirty minutes via I-270 across the river, next to Lambert Airport with easy parking. Maryville sits in southern Madison County between Collinsville and Glen Carbon, which puts it among the closest Illinois communities to the crossings.
Who we see from Madison County
Family and employment-based applicants across Maryville and the surrounding communities, plus N-648 evaluations conducted in the applicant’s own language.
N-648, if the citizenship test is the barrier
A medical or mental-health condition that prevents an applicant completing the English and civics requirement may support an N-648 disability waiver — a separate evaluation, performed in house.
Madison County immunizations
Missing or unverifiable vaccination records are the commonest cause of a second visit. The examination is federal, but vaccines are a local matter — and Maryville is in Madison County. Applicants here usually find the trip to Woodson Road shorter than the drive north to the county seat.

Frequently asked questions
Can I have the exam done at Anderson Hospital in Maryville?
No — the I-693 examination is performed at the Woodson office in St. Louis, where the required testing and the sealed-envelope process are set up. Dr. Padda’s full staff privileges at Anderson Hospital are a credential you can verify locally, not a second exam location.
I have no vaccination records at all. Is that a problem?
It is the single most common cause of a delayed I-693, but it is solvable — either by titer testing or by giving the required doses. Audit the gap before you book: the number one cause of I-693 delays.
Why are so many N-648 waivers rejected?
Because of a small number of recurring drafting and evidence failures, nearly all of them avoidable. The five that sink most applications: why USCIS rejects most N-648 waivers.
Who is the physician signing my form?
Dr. Gurpreet Singh Padda, a DHS-designated civil surgeon (CSID 111051) board-certified by five American specialty boards. Credentials: meet your civil surgeon.
