Hello Guys,

Hope someone gives us an advise on this situation. Let me explain it to you first.

My Mother-in-law, who is paralized (had Stroke) and she forget almost everything. My wife applied for her citizenship first by herself, they filled out the form and everything and at the time of interview, Officer said they need spcial code from doctors. Now the thing is my wife went to my MIL's doctor prior to the interview and filled out the medical form by doctor, Even doctor doesn't know the code. My wife called citizenship dept and no reply from there side.

Again my wife applied through Attorney she charged around 700 USD. Did the same thing again. This time attorney went with my MIL and the same reson for rejection that you need a special code from the doctor. Even the attorney didnt do anything. Officer told them that now either they can appeal or reapply. They said they will mail some papers and now it almost 6-7 months my wife didnt receive single paper from them.

Now question is What the hack is that code? Anybody knows any doctor in Dallas area who can help us out?

Your help will be greatly appreciable.

Thanks,
K

Have a look at form N- 648

http://www.uscis.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/files/N-648.pdf

It offers instructions for the medical evaluation:
A clinical diagnosis and description of the applicant's disability and/or impairment(s) and any applicable DSM-IV codes for each mental impairment (Part II. 2);
An explanation of the connection between the impairment(s)and the applicant's inability to learn and/or demonstrate knowledge of English and/or civics (Part II. 3); and
A professional certified opinion whether the applicant is unable to learn and/or demonstrate knowledge of English and/or civics (Part II. 4 and 5).

Good answer. This post made no sense until you said that!

K-hudda, the DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, 4th edition) is a standard book of mental conditions that describes symptoms and is used to diagnose people. So someone might have Schizophrenia, paranoid and that's number 123.1, and someone else might have Schizophrenia, Not Otherwise Specified, and that's number 123.2. Or something. Anyway, any psychologist and many doctors should have a copy of the DSM-IV to look up your MIL's diagnosis and put the code.
