Hey everyone,

I just wanted to let all vjers know that I managed to find a civil surgeon in Sacramento, California that charges $25 for filling out the I-693A form, I guess that a pretty good deal eh?

all the others I had phoned up had been charging $100-$150!!!

We got ours for free also. We actually felt kind of bad about it though. The girl in the office spent about 20 or 30 minutes putting it together. All the doctor had to do was sign it. I think $25 or 30 dollars is a fair price for the time they spend. I also think that the ones that try to get $100 or more should have their certification taken away. You would think that there would be some sort of standard for these doctors that are agents of the government.

That is good.

Do you have to go to a civil surgeon on the list at the USCIS site or can it be any civil surgeon in your area??

The 3 that are on the list in my city are charging $75 which is so dumb to fill our a form and sign it.

Anyone in the Melbourne Florida area that can suggest someone?

Thanks,

Terri

Ours was $100. I was just happy to find someone who knew what I was talking about. It was worth it for us to pay that much knowing/hoping it was going to be done correctly.
