How we ranked these civil surgeons
We collected civil surgeon and green card medical exam results from Google Maps around Jersey City and removed government offices and unrelated businesses. Each listing gets a score based on its Google rating, adjusted for the number of reviews so a few 5-star reviews do not outrank hundreds of strong ones. Listings that also show up in Google's top results get a small boost. Paid placements are always labeled "Sponsored" and never change the ranked list. Read our editorial policy.
Designations can change. Before you book, confirm the doctor with the USCIS Find a Civil Surgeon tool.
Tips for booking your exam in Jersey City
- Book early. The civil surgeon must sign your Form I-693 no more than 60 days before you file Form I-485, so line up the visit with your filing date.
- Ask what the fee covers before you book. Prices vary by office, and lab tests or extra vaccines can cost more than the quoted exam price.
- Bring your passport, vaccine records, a list of current medicines and any past chest X-ray results. Missing records can mean repeat tests or extra shots.
- Check the doctor on the USCIS Find a Civil Surgeon tool first. Only USCIS-designated doctors can complete and sign Form I-693 for you.
Civil surgeons in Jersey City: FAQs
Do civil surgeons in Jersey City accept insurance?
Some do and some do not. USCIS does not set the fee, so each civil surgeon sets their own price, and health insurance often does not cover the green card medical exam. Call the Jersey City office before you book and ask what they charge and whether they bill insurance at all.
What is a civil surgeon for?
A civil surgeon is a doctor USCIS designates to perform the immigration medical exam. For a green card, they complete Form I-693, which reports your exam and vaccination record. You file it with Form I-485. In Jersey City, look for a doctor listed in the USCIS Find a Civil Surgeon tool on uscis.gov.
How much does a green card medical exam cost in Jersey City?
There is no set price. USCIS does not set the fee, so each civil surgeon decides. Total cost commonly runs from about $200 to $500 or more, depending on the city, the lab tests and how many vaccines you need. Ask the Jersey City office for a full quote before you book.
How long does the exam take, and when do I get my Form I-693?
The visit itself is usually short, but blood test results can take a few days to two weeks. The civil surgeon can sign Form I-693 only after those results come back. You then get the form in a sealed envelope. Do not open it. Send it with your Form I-485.
