What Is the Difference Between 2-Day Expedited and Standard 3-Day Processing?
What Is the Difference Between 2-Day Expedited and Standard 3-Day Processing?
Quick Answer
Our Standard 3-Day Processing delivers your completed sealed Form I-693 within 3 business days of your appointment. Our 2-Day Expedited Processing delivers your completed form within 2 business days for applicants with urgent timelines. Both options include the same comprehensive examination — the difference is only in the processing speed.
Understanding Your Processing Options
ImmigrationMedicalExams.com offers two processing options for your completed sealed Form I-693: Standard 3-Day Processing and 2-Day Expedited Processing. Both options include exactly the same comprehensive immigration medical examination — the only difference is how quickly your completed form is ready.
Choosing the right processing option depends on your timeline and whether you have any upcoming USCIS deadlines.
Standard 3-Day Processing
Standard 3-Day Processing is our standard option for most applicants.
- Completed sealed Form I-693 ready within 3 business days of your appointment
- Processing begins after all laboratory results are received and reviewed
- Suitable for applicants without immediate USCIS deadlines
- Includes the complete immigration medical examination
2-Day Expedited Processing
2-Day Expedited Processing is designed for applicants with urgent timelines.
- Completed sealed Form I-693 ready within 2 business days of your appointment
- Processing begins after all laboratory results are received and reviewed
- Ideal for applicants with upcoming USCIS interviews or RFE deadlines
- Includes the same complete immigration medical examination as Standard Processing
Which Option Is Right for You?
If you have an upcoming USCIS adjustment of status interview, an RFE response deadline, or another time-sensitive situation, 2-Day Expedited Processing is the better choice.
If you do not have an immediate deadline and have flexibility in your timeline, Standard 3-Day Processing is a cost-effective option that still delivers your completed form quickly.
Processing Time Starts After Lab Results
For both processing options, the processing clock starts after all required laboratory results have been received and reviewed by our civil surgeon. Laboratory results are typically available within one business day of your appointment.
