Medical Question

[MandE 0]

Hey guys,

As some of you know, I am currently waiting the results of my CT scan, that I have had to complete as a follow up to the us medical (due to an abnormality on my chest x-ray... see link below for saga)

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...p;#entry1276641

Anyways, I was just reading over the copy of the medical report, and on the sheet called "Chest X-Ray and Classification Medical, Worksheet One", under section 3, the panel physician checked off boxes...

"No, applicant has no signs or symptoms of TB and:" "OTHER X-ray finding suggest follow-up needed after arrival"

Then, under section 5, it says...

"Follow-up Needed after arrival", check in the box "Yes, Not TB condition".

Does "follow-up after arrival" indicate my arrival into the States????

Does anyone know??

I had to have another X-ray plus a medical clearance from my family doctor. When I went for my Visa medical I at that time had a chest cold. My first X-ray showed a small touch of pleurasy in the base of the left lung

Dr. Doane called me 2 days later telling me that the cold I had appears to be a touch of pluerasy and he couldn't release that X-ray as a clear medical. He had me see my family Dr. and schedule another X-ray 2 weeks later. My Dr. treated me for 3 weeks to clear the pleurasy I had the X-ray again all came out clear and he forwarded the X-ray and his diagnosis to Dr. Doane

My medical was then all approved without any problems

thanks everyone

Allie, thanks for sharing your experience. After my medical, the panel physician told me that I was not required to come back, nor was I required to get any follow up tests done for the visa. He sent me a letter stating that he recommended I see my own doctor (for peace of mind), but that the abnormality on the chest x-ray should not delay my visa application. Sooo... fingers crossed, that is one less thing to worry about.
