RFE, I-693 Dr. Arnold

[Jo-bel 0]

I just got my RFE and it's the I-693.

I know there are many who have their GC now using the service of Dr. Arnold. I am not against him because he offered just $30 for his service.

In my case, I sent my I-693 1st page to Dr. Arnold but my middle name was incorrect so I immidiately informed them but it was already sent back to me, so I sent it back to his office to change it. They changed the 1st page, but not the other pages.

I gave an explanation letter with my sealed envelop but still I have my RFE. But I still thumbs up to Dr. Arnold. This post is not against him.

Thanks

Hi, thanks... "submit a properly completed and signed Form I-693, Report of medical examination and vaccination record, (REV. 6/5/08 or later).... The civil surgeon must conduct the exam as directed in the instructions to form I-693, etc..."

I think there is a Form I-693 rev. 10/14/09

Yes, I started calling the civil surgeon in MN, as of now the cheapest is $70 and maybe increase. I will call again another CS tomorrow... I do not know if my medical insurance will help.

Dr. Arnold has been deemed by some COs as not conducting the business of completing the I-693 correctly, as he does not (did not, he's just retired) verify applicant's ID in person.

You do not need a full medical because you completed yours within 1 year of filing your AOS. You DO need to get a local CS to transcribe your vaccines to the I-693. Depending on your area, you may or may not have problems with the CS refusing to only transcribe.

Your medical results should be with the NVC, transferred there by the CO that handled your visa at the POE. It is contained in the brown envelope. I would confirm that they have your medical results on file.

If there is a CS who is offering to do the complete medical AND transcription for only $70 this is a very good price and for simplicity, get it done!

Yep... thanks, I read it in the revised instruction of I-693. I do not need the full medical, one offered $70 because I told her that I am a K immigrant visa holder, she first told me $150 because I told her for immigration purpose.

I will call again another Civil Surgen designated by USCIS to get a good deal or I might get the $70 deal. Thanks

I do not need the full medical but I need to accomplish my I-693

I know you dont, but as far as I know the majority of CS require full medical check-up and refuse to just transcribe vacinations I also used dr.Arnolds services and I anticipate receiving RFE for I-693

I hope they accept insurance. My doctor certainly did not accept insurance and from what I read, most CS do not accept insurance... So be prepared to pay...

All the best!!

Cheers..

In my case they had my paper twice because I asked them to change my middle name but the nurse was able to send it back immidiately without changing my middle name. They changed the 1st page and I signed it Oct. 19, but they didn't change the last part and dr. Arnold signature was Oct. 14.

I will able to call some CS designated by the USCIS tomorrow, and I even printed the instruction that we do not need the full medical and even the I-693 update last Nov. 1 by the USCIS, because the I-693 form is already updated.

Too bad, I thought I already done with the AOS payment and focus in my credential expenses. When I was in the Philipines I helped my husband for the visa expenses because I had a job... too bad another I-693 expenses.
