Medical experience in Moscow

[Jason-Sasha 1]

So, I just passed my medical. Wasn't bad at all. It took me two days though but that's because I wasn't in a hurry and overslept my turn to go to the doctor's office for a couple of times.

Anyway, I went to AO Meditsina since it was really close to my job. I took my pass on the first floor and went straight to the GP's office. Two people were already waiting: a young girl with extremely angry face and a very nervous babushka. So I was tthe third and then the amily of three entered. In about 40 min of waiting I gave my passport and the invitation to the GP and in another 20 min she sent me to take my blood test and x-rays. I was done with that in 30 min. By the time I came back to the GP she was gone. She had an emergency or smth. I was told to come back the next day which I did. Saw the same people there who came to get the results. I had a quick conversation with the therapist. No questions about drugs, no getting naked. She told me that my x-rays and my blood test were fine. She asked questions about my medical history but since i had never been really sick we were done in less than 10 min. I took my sealed envelope and went home. The impressions are positive.

Good luck to those who will have their medical soon.

Привет, Sasha!

I am glad your medical went well. My Alla has been asking a lot about this. I told her about you and that you are almost to interview day. She will be happy to hear of your positive report.

Not too much longer!

Well Sasha.. the time you spent is not any worse than here in America! I'm glad it went well for you.

Good luck on your interview!

Sasha,

Do you need the invitation letter to do the medical? The embassy screwed up when they mailed my fiancee's packet to her and it went to the wrong address, and they wont send her another one. They told me to get everything off of the website (which I did) but they told me nothing about the invitation for the medical.

[Jason-Sasha 1]

Don't worry, Robert. The invitation to the doctor's office is not in the packet. Elena will get it once she is in the medical center. If she goes to AO Meditsina she will have to go to the reception at first. There she will give her national passport and she will receive a pass and and invitation to the GP. And the GP will ask her for her international passport, this invitation and two photos and then send her to pay for the medical, take her blood test and x-rays. It's all very easy. Nothing to worry about. Good luck.

Sasha, if you haven't done it already, make sure you get a copy of your immunizations to bring with you to the U.S.

You'll need it to give to the civil surgeon when you file for AOS. The form you need (or may have already) is the DS-3025. If you don't have a copy, ask for one from the clinic or get the embassy to make a copy for you.

Almost done!!! Good luck with the interview!

Thank you for the information. I will deal with this form after i am done with the interview. I asked the therapist about this form but she was in a hurry and asked me to call later. So, i'll do it next week. I can't really think about anything except for the interview now. I think i am in panic.

Feels like mission control around here, waiting for the shuttle to come out of communications blackout on re-entry...
