Medical Exam Documentation

[J.Ro 1]

Osvaldo and I were reviewing all our documentation in preparation for his interview July 10 (STILL no luck moving up his interview date), and we realized he was given no form or paper to show that he completed his medical exam. He provided the hospital with a letter from the Special Interests section explaining the need for the exam and the hospitals where it could be performed, but Osvaldo received no paperwork afterwards, only his x-ray film.

Is this normal? Or should he go back to the hospital and ask for written documentation that he passed the medical examination? He said he assumed the hospital would communicate directly with the USINT, but I don't want to make a mistake.

Thanks for any info! Otherwise I think we are ready!

I don't have the paperwork in front of me, but I definitely think he should go back to the hospital. In fact I think they say you don't need to bring the Xrays because the analysis of them should be in the results on papers.

He will need paperwork. I would definitely NOT count on the cuban health system communicating on his behalf with the US. WHy should they? and even if they did, would you trust them to do it on time?!?!?!?

Now please share some more info...

Did the medical exam cost anything?

How long did he have to wait?

Did he need an appointment in advance or just go in?

Can you go any day or are there specific days? (I know there are only certain allowed hospitals)

Thanks,

Barbara

You do need to get written documentation; sometimes they issue it in a sealed envelope...( I think they call it planilla)

The hospitals do not have any communication with the Interests Section whatsoever.

Mary did received a paper after she went to the Medical exam. Go back to the clinic or hospital and asked.

My fiance had his medical exam on May 20, and they told him to go back to pick up the results on June 4th, and they also told him that the envelope with the results should not be open until the time of the interview. I guess he is going to receive some kind of papers.

Thanks, everyone; he'll go back next week to asked for his results in a sealed envelope... I hope that doesn't take too long!

Anyone know if I should bring medical records of my own, to document my pregnancy? Or is being there with my barriga enough? I suppose it can't hurt to bring something, though I don't know if they will care ...

Well if your barriga is big enough, i dont think you will need any documents, but its like you said, someting extra it cant hurt...
