I am at Chennai right now and i have an interview tomorrow at 9 am at the American Consulate of Chennai. I have already submitted all my documents to the VFS office in Hyderabad (wher i stay), including my Medical Reports. However, right now i am not carrying my X-ray (which i had to take during the med examination) with me. I vividly remember the Physician telling me at the time of check up that "i need to carry the X-ray only while going to the US that's it. And that i dont have to carry it with me to the Consulate." But now i am worried! What if the Consulate denies my visa saying that i didn't bring my X-ray?? Is that possible?? I hope not! Please help me!!!

I am not sure if Chennai is different, however, the x-ray can only be read by trained medical personnel - not immigration staff - and the report from the radiologist about your x-ray is already in your medical package. You should not need it at the interview. No one looked at my x-ray - and it has never been required since by anyone in immigration. My new physician here used the x-ray as a 'base' against which to compare x-rays done during my physical check up and that is the only use it has had after I received it. You can keep it for a souvenir but I am confident that you will not need it at the interview - or at the airport. If, on the very off chance someone at the Consulate does want to see it, they will not deny your visa for that reason - they would give you a RFE requesting you to submit the x-ray and would make their decision after they got it. Good luck at the interview.

Right, my husband didn't take his x-rays and they never asked to see them either and as Kathryn said the x-ray can only be read by trained medical personnel - not immigration staff.

Good luck tomorrow!
