I-693 medical exam · St. Charles, MO
Immigration Medical Exam (I-693) in St. Charles, MO
St. Charles County applicants complete the USCIS Form I-693 immigration medical exam with a designated civil surgeon. We are about twenty minutes east on I-70, across the Blanchette Bridge.
Across the bridge, and done in a visit
From St. Charles, St. Peters and O’Fallon, the trip is a simple run east on I-70. The drive is not what changes the timeline. What changes it is whether you arrive with your immunization history in hand. St. Charles County runs its own public health program, separate from St. Louis County’s. It serves adults as well as children.
What does the immigration medical exam include?
One appointment covers history, the USCIS-specified physical, and an immunization review with catch-up doses. It also covers the required tuberculosis, syphilis and gonorrhea testing. Allow 2 to 6 hours. See fees and timeline for costs and turnaround. See vaccine requirements for what applies at your age.
Only a designated physician can sign it
USCIS will not accept the form from anyone else. Dr. Gurpreet Singh Padda, MD, MBA, MHP is DHS-designated (CSID 111051) and board-certified by five American specialty boards. The designation is federal, so the sealed envelope is accepted nationwide.
The drive from St. Charles
4477 Woodson Rd, Suite 102 is roughly twenty minutes east on I-70 across the Blanchette Bridge. It sits directly beside Lambert Airport, with parking on site.
Who we see from the county
Applicants from St. Charles, St. Peters, O’Fallon and Cottleville. That includes employment-based filings, family petitions, and N-648 evaluations where a citizenship test is the obstacle.
The N-648, briefly
Some applicants have a medical or mental-health condition that stops them from completing the English and civics requirement. The N-648 disability waiver is a separate evaluation that can excuse it. We perform it here, in the applicant’s own language where that matters.
St. Charles County’s own immunization clinic
A vaccination history you can’t prove is the leading cause of a second visit. You can complete missing doses at your exam, or beforehand at the county. St. Charles County runs separately from St. Louis County, with its own clinic and its own rules.

Frequently asked questions
Does St. Charles County use the same health centers as St. Louis County?
No. St. Charles County runs its own immunization program at 1650 Boone’s Lick Road. It serves adults as well as children. The St. Louis County community health centers are a separate system with separate rules.
For doses given in another country, what counts is covered in Will USCIS Accept My Foreign Vaccination Records? What Counts for the I-693.
Is the USCIS exam the same as a regular physical?
No, and expecting a physical is what trips up most applicants. It is a defined federal screening with a fixed scope — not a general health check-up, and not a substitute for one. Explained here: your USCIS medical exam is not a physical.
Should I mention a chronic condition, or leave it off?
Disclose it. A hidden condition found later does far more damage to a case than the condition itself ever did. Why: hiding a health condition is the worst immigration strategy.
Is there any guarantee the form will be accepted?
There is a money-back guarantee on the examination, which is unusual in this field and exists because a correctly completed form is within our control. Terms: the 100% money-back guarantee.
How much does an immigration medical exam cost?
The complete I-693 exam is $390. Book Regular and pay it all at the visit. Or book Document Verified, with $100 when you schedule and $290 at the visit. Costs and turnaround are itemized on our fees and timeline page. Bring your ID and your vaccination records to the appointment. Arriving with your immunization history in hand is what keeps the timeline short.
How long is a medical exam for immigration?
