Civil Surgeons...

[★PinK ButTerfLy★ 0]

Ok, so I called a bunch of civil surgeons in our area today... all of them said different things to me. I knew in advance that prices would vary... but they all varied on which vaccines/blood work would be needed and the procedure...

One place I called said in lieu of doing all the vaccines they can test his blood to see if he's already been tested??? Then others varied quite a bit on timing... one place said the whole thing would take 2-3 days and another place said several weeks...

I feel like picking a civil surgeon is like picking a lawyer...some are idiots and some are the real deal? If they are licensed civil surgeons and listed on the USCIS website...they should be reputible right? And if so... how do I know which one to go with? They all gave me such ranging answers about what tests were needed, the procedure and how long it would take.

We pretty much need to do everything that is required... my husband says he hasn't really had any vaccines in a while and all the medical records would be in Danish if we ordered them from his country.

We have till around the 28th/29th to submit our forms but I just want to get all the ducks in a row. I'm just scared if we pick some shady civil surgeon that they won't do their job correctly and then we'll get denied later or something because they didn't give him the right tests/results.

Hello i had a hard time finding the right civil surgeon... when i called to get information the secretary didn't have the answer to my questions and they were pretty basic. I asked them if it would be ok to bring a copy of my vaccination record in Spanish or if i had to get it translated ... she made me wait for 5 minutes... it was awful.... so i called a different one and the people answered all my questions ... the only problem is that you have to ask them what you need to bring with you what vaccines are required etc etc... otherwise they won't tell you... ask if the price includes tb and HIV tests... some people told me it was $250 and then when i called back to make the appointment they told me that i still had to pay for the TB and HIV test:S.

Write all the questions you have in a piece of paper so when you call you don't forget anything good luck! I'm going to my medical examination next Wednesday !
