Questions about Medical Exam

[dukeandduchess 141]

Hi Everyone

My fiance (Petitioner) and I received our NOA1 in February and I'm trying to prepare myself for the interview while we wait for our NOA2 (fingers crossed!). I have been doing a lot of research about the medical aspect and had a few questions.

I looked at the list of vaccinations that are required and only have a few of them. I was wondering if I should go get them done before my medical or if not all of them are necessary. I'm Canadian (if that matters).

My other question is in regards to medical history. Over the past 4 years I have had to see a specialist because I started having a lot of pain for no obvious reason. I had a laparoscopy and still did not get a diagnosis. I have had multiple blood and other tests and everything comes back normal. My specialist and I have worked together to find that I just have an ovary that causes pain for no obvious medical reason. She has told me this can happen and has suggested how to deal with my pain. I am going to see my specialist on friday and was wondering if I should get a letter from her detailing what she thinks the problem is and the treatment she has prescribed. The USCIS information site I read states that I should have a letter describing any on-going medical conditions and treatment.

Would a pain condition be substantial reason to deny my visa? Other than having chronic pain, I am in perfect health. I've held a job for 3 years and completed a university degree so it doesn't prevent me from supporting myself. I'm so scared that pursuing my medical treatment might impact our application but everyone tells me the medical is more to weed out those with communicable diseases, STDs, etc.

The USCIS information site also states that you should bring all of your medical records to the Medical Exam. True/False?

Any information or advice would be much appreciated. Thank you so much for reading!

I don't think you pain condition is the reason to deny your visa. They are more concerned if you have any type of communicable diseases.

Pain condition is not a problem. Never imagine the government cares about your health. They don't. They DO care if you have communicable disease or perhaps a mental condition that could be a threat to someone else

we did not bring all of Alla's or the boy's medical records to the medical exam in Kiev. we DID bring all their immunization records. I suggest you do that and make sure they give you the DS 3025 form. It is not needed for the visa but will be a big help for you when you adjust status.

I strongly suggest you get ALL vaccinations before hand in Canada. If you do not you will have to pay for them here and THEN go to a civil surgeon to fill out form I-693. Civil surgeons can charge whatever they want for this and they know it. Do it there, get form DS 3025 at the exam and you are good to go for the AOS
