[godspeed 41]

How much did you end up paying for everything?

No doubt it's worth it, but I'm just curious.

sounds like you have to pay the civil surgeon for the interview in addition to the actual AOS filing fee, anybody that can comment on this?

If you need to have a medical here for AOS yes you have to pay civil surgeon. The $1010 includes the biometrics too for the AOS but yeah you have to pay for everything pretty much but so worth it.

Then there is removal of conditions cost about 2 years after AOS

No you pay a CS to complete the 693 form plus the AOS fees.

You will need to go to a civil surgeon to get the shots transferred from the 3025 form you got at St Lukes onto a I-693 form and certified by the civil surgeon and submit it with the AOS packege. Do not open the sealed envelope with the I-693.

Do not forget the variable costs such as traveling to the Embassy for the interview and medical at ST Lukes, food costs and transportation, possibly lodging costs if you live far from Manila, CFO fees, photos, NSO documents such as Certificate of No Marriage, Birth Certificate, NBI Clearance. Departure fees at Manila airport, airline ticket cost. Pocket monet when traveling.

Just think of the entire process as "USCIS need more money" so that people like us who are doing the right immigration process can have more gray hair, heart palpitations and nerve shot all to H*ll!

I did not go to the civil surgeon when i processed my AOS and no RFE as long as you send the DS3025 from St. Luke's and you got all the vaccines you need. You only need to see a surgeon if you did not complete your vaccines and you don't have the copy of your DS3025.

Goodluck! =)
