Should the civil surgeon for medical exam be from same residing state ?

[anarveka]

Hi all,

We are in process of filling for I-485 and looking for civil surgeons for medical exam.Can anyone guide urgently if ,

1. We live in tri-state area, so is it mandatory to go to the local civil surgeon only or we can opt for anyone from nearby

state also ?

2. Can we go to more than one civil surgeon in case we are not satisfied with the results ?

Please can anyone reply urgently ?

Thanks.

Yes and yes. Any civil surgeon can do it.

Btw, I dont know what exactly you mean by "if you are not satisifed".

As you might know that after the health test, they will give you a covered envelopel which you need to submit to USCIS..you wouldnt find out the contents of your test.

Wrong. CS must give a copy of the report to you. That is the law.

Some people goes to shady CS who violates the law ... : )

omshiv: I guess it depens on the surgeon. The civil surgeon that did my test gave me a copy of the results too. I received two sealed envelopes: One for me and one for USCIS. The one for USCIS was stamped DO NOT OPEN in order to prevent the mistake of the recipient accidentally opening thus voiding it.
