We should have met before, it costs me $340 for civil surgeon  but I am happy in the way it already includes everything required.

I'm pretty sure they told me $200 was for all the tests, but I hated needles so I used the results I got from 5 months prior to get out of getting my blood drawn again. I broke my car mirror on the way out of that clinic, so in a way I needed that money saved  to fix my mirror haha.

I know you can do some things elsewhere like some of the shots and bring proof to the civil surgeon but in my case, I don't have insurance right now anyways. Plus I think I'll only need a flu shot (hopefully) and this particular civil surgeon chargess less than even Walgreens haha

For sure, I've been in this country working for a while, so I'm lucky to have insurance to cover some of the cost.

Hey guys, hope everyone is doing good!

Just booked my medical exam appointment for next Monday and it's gonna cost me $350. Lab tests not included ugh.

Anyways, my interview is coming up next Friday. I know the results might not be done in 3 days but I absolutely can't get to a doctor earlier than Monday so... might get a RFE at the interview.

Already freaking out - 11 days to go!

I actually went to a clinic that accepted my insurance, then gave the results to the civil surgeon. Cost me $200. I'll take any penny I can save.

Oopppssss!!! Why silently? I am much happier if finding one Vietnamese friend in this forum, especially we are on the same process. Where are you living right now? I am in Centreville. Let go out for coffee or milk tea if you are not too far away from me.

 

We can give each other phone number to keep in touch as a friend if you would like. How is everything with your application so far?

I live near Tysons Corner. I just left my job even though I just received my approval for H1B visa, so I'm still chilling. I'm on day 62th, already have jobs lined up contingent on EAD. 28 more days and I'll pick up that phone.

I love bubble tea. I go to Eden Center once a week. You can inbox me your #. I'll text you back

Btw, I have completed my vaccination/check up request with the total cost $340. Tdap, flu shot, and TB test. I am going to doctor office today to get the result of urine and blood test, TB test, as well as all the paperwork. 

 

Also, I have been informed that I will receive 2 letters from USCIS today and one of them is approval for my EAD (the same which @shakeyy shown before). I am so excited for that.

 

Wish all of us have the best luck in new year!!!!

 

 

I've been silently following you JVjourney. It's nice to know that a fellow Vietnamese in the DC area is getting EAD. I hope I'll get it within the 90 days as well (November filer).
