@Cornelia Malies Thanks for sharing, Cornelia! Sounds like your exam went smoothly — $425 isn’t unusual when a titer is needed. Most people report physical exams take about 45–60 minutes, including reviewing your medical history, vaccinations, and labs like the chickenpox titer. The doctor usually asks about past illnesses, medications, surgeries, and any ongoing conditions. If you want, I can walk you step-by-step through filing your I-485 and I-765 together, including how to organize all your documents so nothing is missed — it’s easier to go through privately so you can feel confident submitting everything correctly.

@ChelseaWright thanks for the offer. I have help already!we are just waiting on the report to be ready now. My physical was only like 3-4 minutes with the doc. he just listened to my heart and lungs. Then he sent me off to the lab where they took 4 tubes of blood. I was in and out in less than 15 minutes.

you probably have to go back when the results are in for your blood tests and may or may not need a vaccine. my initial visit was not with the civil surgeon… once I came in with my confirmation of vaccinations that I needed I met with the civil surgeon and we went through my medical page by page to make sure there were no errors. one thing I have seen before… don’t make this mistake… if they ask you if you have ever taken drugs before, say no. some people have said they have smoked weed (its legal in a lot of states) but not legal federally.

my physical was 130min (5 min with physician, 10 with nurses, and the rest was waiting in the doctor’s office). I had all the vaccines translated. I had to have 2 shots (flu and pertussis), and 2 lab tests - vaccines and labs done at Walgreens. my major problem was that I did my physical a week prior to thanksgiving, and my medical report took 2 weeks to get done thanks for the holiday. $475 physical $180 blood test $78 vaccines

@w s 🇨🇦🇺🇸 I actually got my vaccines redone just late last year, my polio shot a week prior to the exam. as for the chicken pox.. in Germany I was a lot of kids with chicken pox. didn't get them .I assume i had them or got vaccinated at one point. .

@Paula Brook they called me yesterday that the physical is ready to be picked up. I'm going tomorrow before the storm hits.
