Can I get any civil surgeon to sign the form I-693 I need to adjust my status after concurrently filing for the EB-5 visa, or does it have to be someone designated by the USCIS? How does the USCIS know the medical checkup was completed before the doctor signed the form? Is there an extra fee I need to pay when filing this form?
