If we ever actually get out of AP at NVC, I can at least look forward to a medical that's not nearly as detailed as this one, as well as the one from Maliciant's summary.

According to the girl who recently passed the medical in Zagreb, there are no idiotic questions asked (such as number 14. here.. #######????). They draw some blood (HIV test), do a chest x-ray and ask to see our vaccination record. The end.

Ranchris - The waiting has got me doing crazy stuff lately. heheheheh... And the blue pill and KY jelly concept is so tempting too.

150 days now... Still nothing from VSC. Oh well, I hope they'd get things done!

Fred N Emilia · January 22, 2009

From what I heard they just want to make sure you are not just doing it for the sake of papers and coming to the U.S. They wanna make sure its real, hehehehehehe.

maliciant · January 22, 2009

Thanks Maliciant, but I was expecting a little more detail.
You never once mentioned the doctors name, the color of their eyes, how big the needle is, Come ON! give us some important information!

I can smell your sarcasm from waaaaaaaaaay over here... Seriously, there are VERY detailed reports in the regional forums (or at least the phils forum), I seroiusly have no idea how people remember all the details of the medical and the detailed interviews where they list off all the questions and answers... but... so you know, the doctor was not american or filipino, which makes me wonder ####### nationality the doctor is... I didn't find that out... the doctor was "snobby" and it was apparently because she was tired, my fiancee didn't mention eye color or anything description beyond that she was a woman... the needles are various sizes I'm sure... but I don't know hehe, she hasn't done that step (give her... about 8 - 10 more hours I think)... The detailed reports include the number of people waiting in line every 15 minutes until the medical place opens, what the guard outside asked for, told them, where they went, how many steps, floor diagrams, exactly who said what, the number of people they met who are also interviewing and often some of the differences between someone going to america vs someone going to canada or zimbabwe... I'm guess people who provide those detailed interviews probably bring a pen and notepad since there is so much waiting between the steps at the medical and the interview.

Ok... also in case it wasn't clear, the second day of the medical is NOT the embassy interview, I know someone asked that and I said what day 2 was about... but just want to clarify it.

14. When was the last time you had sexual contact? How was it?

LOL, I think I remember seeing that list somewhere... the "how was it" was added in for humor... not an actual question, so don't panic anyone... the original poster of that list was just joking around, but most of the other questions are typical medical questions I think you'd answer anywhere...

15. Did you finish college?

Just throwing that in for completeness (I think it's an oddball question though).
