I-693 - Submit a new Form I-693 completed by a designated civil surgeon
Hello
I received a letter - RFE stating that my dr. is not on designated. The Dr who filed the 693 is designated civil surgeon and I can still see it on USCIS website. I tried to find a number to call but I couldn't. Any help is appreciated.

Here is an extract from the letter:
Submit a new Form I-693 completed by a designated civil surgeon. A review of your file indicates
that you submitted a Report of Immigration Medical Examination and Vaccination Record (Form
I-693) completed by a doctor who is not on the designated civil surgeon list.

AOS parent of naturalized US citizen
I just wanted to come on here and share my experience so far in Oregon. My parents and siblings came to the US without status over 20 yrs ago. My mom's US citizen brother submitted a petition for her in 2000 under 245i. I married a us citizen and later became a us citizen myself and petitioned both my parents

AOS submitted for both end of Nov 2022.
Received EAD dad 7/7/23 mom 8/28/23

Today my dad had his interview and everything went pretty smoothly. The officer was very nice and even made jokes throughout the interview. Although she didn't necessarily approve him on the spot , things look promising and she said she was going to review a few things and let us know if she needs anything. If nothing is needed, she would be able to approve. Now we wait!!!

My mom's interview was scheduled for 11/14 but earlier this week it was cancelled due to unforseen circumstances. No real explanation but we'll see what happens next

I'm just glad my dad's interview is out of the way and I'm confident he will be approved!!!

Best of luck to all!

*I forgot to mention - one of the worries with their cases is that they would be deemed inadmissable for alien smuggling since they brought us here with them as children illegally. Fortunately, the officer did not bring this up AT ALL!! of course we still have to wait for approval but I'm hopeful that it's not going to hinder the process because she would have brought up and request 601 waiver and she didn't!!!

*****UPDATE!!!**** he was APPROVED!! status changed for the i485 approved as of 10/20/23. His greencard should arrive in a couple weeks!!

Total processing time was 11 months from the day we mailed the application to approval.

My mom's status was also updated today and her interview is 11/28!!

Who qualifies for i601 alien smuggling waiver?
I've been getting mixed information from different attorneys and I just don't know who to believe and trust anymore. Seems like everyone has their own opinion. Here's the scenario - I am a naturalized US citizen. My dad is going through AOS and his interview is coming up. He entered the US without inspection but qualifies for AOS based on i245. He doesn't have parents or spouse with legal status. The only one with legal status is me- his daughter. Would he qualify for waiver for helping bring me to the US illegally as a child ? He didn't 'smuggle' anyone other than immediate family being his child.

Our attorney mentioned possibly needing to file a waiver if this is brought up during interview and we assumed he COULD apply for it if needed. But some attorneys are saying he does NOT qualify for waiver through a us citizen child because such waiver doesn't exist anymore.

Please someone help me and advise if he qualifies or not. If for some reason he doesn't qualify, then what happens? Would he go into removal proceedings? (No criminal convictions at all)

Just trying to get some feedback so I can know what to expect because I'm stressing for my dad!!

I601 Alien smuggling waiver for AOS (i245 with family based AOS parent of us citizen)
My parents have been residing in the US without status and are currently in the process of AOS. They have a i245 that allows them to adjust their status in the US. I am their naturalized US citizen child and I petitioned for them. My dad received his EAD in July and AP was denied because he did not enter with inspection. He just got notice for his interview and the attorney said theres a 'chance' the officer might require them to file for a waiver because they brought us (myself and siblings) to the US illegally as children. I'm trying to understand the likelihood of this being the case. I'm assuming they check status for all the children listed in the application and theyll see we're all on DACA and I'm naturalized meaning I wasn't born here which might be how they find this out. Of course we're hoping and praying this isn't the case because my parents have been waiting for this moment for over 30 yrs.

I'm hoping since they already scheduled interview that they won't ask for a waiver ? Or is it normal for them to make you go to interviews just to deny you and say you're inadmissable and need a waiver ?

Im also hearing that this waiver isn't even an option even if you smuggled your immediate family such as children.

Anyone has experience with this at all ? Thanks in advance!
