Q: Got RFE for I693 saying my previous medical wasn't done by an approved civil surgeon, but he was approved at the time.
I responded to RFE with a new medical exam within the timeframe, but if he was on the approved list at the time I first got medical exam done is there any action I can take to speed up my case? I had to pay another $500 out of pocket for redoing something I had previously done correctly. The RFE clearly stated the medical was rejected because it wasn't done by an approved civil surgeon, but don't they check to see if the doctor was approved at the time he signed the paperwork and it was submitted???
A: You should have responded with proof of the MD's qualifications. however, since you already went ahead and spent the $500.00 there is nothing you can do. Your case may be placed in it original place in line if you submit the foregoing now.
