Beginning March 11, 2014, USCIS will implement a new process by which it
receives and adjudicates applications for civil surgeon designation.
This new process change will require doctors seeking designation as
civil surgeons to file a formal application at a USCIS Lockbox location.
Physicians seeking this designation will need to complete Form I-910,
the Application for Civil Surgeon Designation, and pay the related $615
application fee.
This new application process will not affect current civil surgeons.
Prospective civil surgeons are guided to not file the form and fee prior
to the March 11 start date.
