Toronto Medical March 19th/12

[pocheros 101]

So how much is it in Montreal?

Are there any benefits to booking the med in Montreal than in Toronto?

If I have to go to Montreal for the interview....is it not best to schedule the med there too? ....and save myself a trip to Toronto?

I believe I read somewhere that people have booked the medical the day before the interview....or am I dreaming this?

People have done their medicals a day before their interview and then mailed the results to the consulate. It delays the issuance of your visa however. If you had no other choice you could do this- they won't deny your visa as long as all your other documents are okay. They'll just wait to get your medical and then review your case. It's kind of like doing an RFE.

Medicals can be done in Vancouver, Montreal or Toronto. I -think- it takes Medisy's 3 business days to get your results, so you could plan to stay about a week in Montreal (you can check how many days are needed on their website. In contrast, I think Dr. Seiden's only takes 2 days) There are also TWO Dr. Seiden's offices, one in Montreal and one in Toronto. The other physician in Montreal is Medisy's.

Elsinha: Dr. Seiden's was $275 when I went last year. The price went up! Also congrats on your packet 4 and medical exam. I have a detailed review of Dr. Seiden's in my signature although some of the information is obsolete since they've moved offices.

Hey Pocheros,

Dr. Seiden won't issue an extra copy of the medical and I know that this is required for POE as well as AOS. Did Montreal give you your medical back when you went for the interview or was it in the packet for POE? Can you please advise?

When you pick up your passport from DHL it comes with a big brown folder that you DO NOT OPEN. Inside the folder is your medical exam as well as all the other paperwork you have completed throughout this process (I-129F, packet 3, all the stuff you submitted to Montreal). You submit this envelope at POE where an officer will open it up. Then everything in the folder is forwarded to a USCIS center.

The only thing you need a copy of from the medical is the Vaccination Worksheet. It is referred to as DS-3025 although it may not say DS-3025 on it. It should look something like this: http://www.craigandgingrogers.com/uploads/5/0/6/4/506438/3149528.jpg?600 You need this paper for your AOS. Dr. Seiden's should've given you one at the front of the brown folder. If you did not receive a copy of the vaccination sheet you should request a copy from them.
