N-648 Immigration Services in Urbana, Ohio
The N-648 (Medical Certification for Disability Exceptions) is a form where accuracy matters from the very first page. Our Columbus office prepares these packets for families throughout Central Ohio, including Urbana. We double-check every entry, organize your supporting documents, and hand you a complete packet ready to file.
We help Urbana clients prepare for their N-648 appointment before they visit our Columbus office. Call first and we will explain which documents to bring. Urbana is part of the diverse immigrant community we serve across Central Ohio. We take time to explain each step in plain language, and we will always tell you when a situation requires an immigration attorney rather than a immigration services provider.
Service is provided at our Columbus office (3185 Morse Rd, Ste 15). We do not operate a separate staffed office in Urbana.
What Form N-648 is for

Fees and official sources
USCIS filing fees change periodically and vary by category, age, and filing method. We do not quote government fees from memory. Always verify the current N-648 filing fee, payment method, and any form-specific fee rules on the official USCIS page before you submit.
Processing times for N-648 vary widely by service center, workload, and case complexity, and they change month to month. Check current estimates with the USCIS processing-times tool and your receipt notice rather than relying on a fixed number. Filing a complete, well-organized packet is the best way to avoid Requests for Evidence that add delay.
USCIS government fees are separate from Asal preparation fees. Verify current fees on USCIS.gov.
