Built for detained-client case coordination

This page is specifically for attorneys and legal teams seeking medical exam services inside detention facilities, separate from our in-clinic immigration medical services. We work with law offices that need a practical pathway to evaluate detained clients when transportation, custody restrictions, or case timing make a standard clinic visit difficult.

Our role is to help your office determine whether the case is appropriate for an on-site evaluation, what records are needed, and how to move the process forward efficiently. Final form eligibility and completion always depend on the client’s facts, the required clinical findings, and the governing immigration rules for the specific form.

How attorney referrals work

01

Your office submits the detained client’s basic case details, detention location, requested service, and urgency level so we can assess whether the case is appropriate for facility-based evaluation.

Initial legal-office call

02

We review the available medical, custodial, and case-related information needed to determine next steps for I‑693 or N‑648 scheduling and documentation.

Case and records review

03

If the matter is appropriate to proceed, we coordinate the logistics required for evaluation inside the detention facility, including communication around access, timing, and required information from counsel.

Facility coordination

04

The medical evaluation is performed and the required documentation is completed according to the applicable form and clinical findings. For I‑693 matters, only a USCIS-designated civil surgeon may complete the form; for N‑648 matters, the provider must clearly document the qualifying impairment and its functional impact.​

Evaluation and documentation

05

Your office receives next-step communication regarding additional records, scheduling status, and documentation handling so the legal team can keep the case moving.

Follow-up with counsel

Cases that may be a fit

  • This page is intended for immigration lawyers, accredited representatives, and legal support staff referring detained clients for possible I‑693 or N‑648 services. It is especially useful when the client is in custody, movement is restricted, and counsel needs a provider who can evaluate whether on-site medical services are feasible.

  • A referral does not guarantee that a form can be completed. Clinical appropriateness, detention-facility access, timing, available records, and form-specific requirements all affect whether the matter can proceed.

FAQs

01

No. We also offer immigration-related services in clinic, but this page is specifically for detained-client coordination and detention-facility evaluations handled through attorney referrals.

Do you offer these services only in detention facilities?

02

No. Form I‑693 must be completed by a USCIS-designated civil surgeon for qualifying cases inside the United States.

Can any doctor complete Form I‑693?

03

No. USCIS requires the medical professional to explain how the impairment specifically prevents the applicant from meeting the English and/or civics requirements, and the condition must have lasted or be expected to last at least 12 months.

Does a diagnosis automatically qualify a client for Form N‑648?

04

We recommend that the attorney or a designated legal staff member contact us first so we can review detention location, requested service, case timing, and available records before any scheduling step.

Who should contact you first?

05

If you represent a detained client and need on-site immigration medical exam coordination, send us the case basics and our team will contact your office to review fit, timing, and next steps. Please do not submit protected health details through the website form unless your intake process is set up to receive them securely.
