Green card medical exam in Washington: FAQs
How much does a green card medical exam cost in Seattle or Bellevue?
USCIS does not set the price. Each civil surgeon sets their own fee. In the Seattle and Bellevue area, total cost commonly runs from about $200 to $500 or more. Lab tests and the number of vaccines you need can push it higher. Health insurance often does not cover it, so ask for a quote before you book.
How long does the I-693 take in Washington?
Blood test results usually take a few days to two weeks. After that, the civil surgeon can finish the form. Seattle and Bellevue clinics with heavy demand may have their first open appointment weeks out, so call early. Plan around the 60 day signing rule before you file your I-485.
Can I see any civil surgeon, or do I need one near my Washington home?
You can use any USCIS-designated civil surgeon in the U.S., not only one in your city. Many people in Tacoma, Kent or Spokane pick a clinic near home or work to cut travel time. Check the doctor with the USCIS Find a Civil Surgeon tool before you book.
