Of course I did. The doctor makes a mistake and the applicant has to pay. Just another example of counter-incentive system in the green card process. I know there are good people out there but as far as the systems go who is really on your side? Your employer? Your lawyer? Your civil...
My lawyer received the RFE and forwarded me a copy. Yes, my case has been approved and my wife's case is still pending. Since your wife didn't get the TB skin test done, she will probably get an RFE unless she gets really really lucky.
Thank you. I agree with you on that life is tough especially if you're an immigrant. I really don't know whether he's stupid or greedy. The cost of getting the TB skin test again was only $40, which is too little to call him greedy. I could've given him $40 upfront not to get an RFE. Then...
My wife and I went to the doctor's office last week. It was another unpleasant experience. I had a 10 o'clock appointment and I was asked to come back at 2 because the assistant was too busy to get my wife's chart from their record room. Isn't it part of her job? What's the point of making...
Did you get the original medical form back? I don't have anything but what my lawyer told me what was on the notice. I'm not sure if the doctor will know what to do. Could you tell me what your wife did? A full medical exam all over again? Or, just the TB skin test? Or, the best of all...
Sorry I don't know the answer to your question. It sounds like you and I are pretty much in the same boat as far as the RFE is concerned. You're actually ahead of me because I don't have the RFE in hand yet. Hopefully this is the last hurdle for both of us. Cheers!
Thanks for kind words. Although I'm a little bit upset, I'm trying not to take it personally. I think the system where the applicant has to pay for the mistakes of the civil surgeon needs to be fixed along with other USCIS counter-incentive systems.
My understanding is that, for aos purposes, the skin test is required in most cases and a chest x-ray is an additional evidence for false positive.
You say "USCIS is asking me to take a skin test with the same doctor". I would follow the instruction exactly. In case you can't go to the same...
I might do that. I wonder how other people's experiences are with the civil surgeons. Other doctors might be just as bad or some might be even worse. I need to give some thoughts. Thanks for wishing me a good luck.
RFE on Medical. I blame the civil surgeon. How was your experience?
I got RFE on medical for my wife's case. To paraphrase what my lawyer said,
"They are asking her to go back to the doctor who performed the medical
exam and have him/her properly complete the Form I-693 as related to...
Received mine today!!
lol .. you're right. Nothing else went as I hoped with USCIS, but I received the approval notice and the card today. Then again, it is all thanks to USPS not USCIS.
