Hello!
My spouse and I had our marriage-based green card interview today in the NYC office. (She is the U.S. citizen.) I had taken a sealed copy of my i-693 with me.
The USCIS officer unsealed it, typed the surgeon’s name into their database and said he was not certified with them. I had found this physician through the USCIS “find a civil surgeon” tool and told the USCIS officer that. The officer said that the surgeon may have just not renewed their certification recently.
I visited the surgeon’s office and this was the first time they’d heard of any such problem. They gave me a copy of their letter from USCIS from November 2021 confirming their continued certification! My wife and I are worried that the USCIS officer may have just mistyped the surgeon’s name or something petty like that.
The officer issued me an RFE at the interview and said I should upload a proper i-693 online or mail it to his attn at my local USCIS office. I don’t know what to do though. Should I reupload the same i-693 with the surgeon’s certification letter and a cover letter explaining this?
It would be great if I could avoid having to take a second exam elsewhere.
