Please HELP!

Hi fellow VJ's,

I arrived here in US last Dec. 30, 2010. I'm worried and confused at the same time regarding my follow-up check up here. My questions are: It is obliged to followup my medical here? What if i failed to do it? Do I need to wait for my GC and SSN before my follow-up med? What if I will have my followup check up in one of the clinic/hospital here in our area and not to health department? So that in time I will apply a job I will show my recent medical record and also in time will remove the conditional into permanent resident.

Please I need your advise. thanks in advance. God bless us all!

You won't file for removal of conditions until 90 days before your conditional GC expires.

Am assuming your follow up medical is due to TB? If so, you have to go to the county health department (TB is a public health issue, so they oversee that stuff). They will explain what needs to be done...and will officially clear you of your medical condition, which is one less thing to worry about.

I'm sure there are consequences for not complying with the follow up, but what they are exactly, I am not sure.

I'm surprised that you weren't advised by the IO at your POE regarding your medical. Is that a new system that the USCIS will inform you instead?

I had to do the same thing and mine was done at the health center in our area.

Good luck!

If it is a failed TB test issue, they (USCIS), will send you a letter with instructions. My step daughter had a failed TB test (no active TB, just exposure sometime in the past). USCIS sent me a letter to take to the local health department. Local health department ordered new chest XRay to verify no active TB. After the chest XRay came back they put my daughter on a regimen of medicines and vitamins that she must take every day for nine months. Once a month she goes to the health department for a blood test and new supply of meds. No cost to us.

BTW: It took over a month for the inital letter from USCIS to arrive directing us to take my step daughter to the health department.

We have over 20 million Illegal Aliens living in the USA.

Most are from Mexico, they come to USA and bring in disease, poverty, and crime. They rape our welfare system and corrupt our infrastructure.

And I find it almost comical that people entering the USA legally have to jump thru so many hoops........

Thanks guys for ur suggestions and opinions...finally i got my SSN :-)

Maybe I will have to wait for USCIS to send me a notification letter about my follow-up medical... God bless us all!

If you did not undergo the sputum test at St. Luke's then there's no reason for you to do the follow up check-up/ medical here in the US.
