RFE-need confirmation on i-693

[erikashea 0]

So we just got an RFE for our I-485 for only sending the DS-3025 and not the I-693 filled out by the civil surgeon. When making the appointment to get the form filled out they said it would be $50, no problems. Unfortunately I had to work so my husband went to this appointment alone. They ended up giving him ANOTHER medical exam and testing him for tb and std's as well resulting in a $220 charge! I have called them and am arguing with them about the medical exam and charge for it due to the fact that I personally made the appt and asked the appropriate questions as well as sent him with all documentation of his vaccinations done in the UK and the RFE letter stating just the vaccination portion needed to be filled out. My question now is, should they have done a tb and std test as well? I cant seem to find any info on this. My understanding was that they were only supposed to transfer his vaccination documents from the UK to the I-693 and sign it, not do anything else...can someone please confirm? Thanks in advance!.

That is very common for "some" civil surgeons to "scam" for a physical. Finding honest civil surgeons seems to be the challenge.

You said you set the interview to get the 3025 transcribed to the I-693, so did the civil surgeon give your husband a sealed envelope along with a copy of the transcribed I-693 (and returned the 3025)? Being you paid for it.

Yes the doctor gave us both the sealed envelope (which is already sent off) and copies. I already know that an additional exam was not required as he already had one within a year of filing the I-485 my question is were they supposed to perform a tb and std test? He had a chest exam in England along with the physijcal exam so why are they performing a tb and std test?? The only required paperwork was to transfer the vaccination information to the I-693 right? I just want to be prepared with the correct information when I speak to the director on the 12th. Thank you for your time and info!
