Hi Still don't have medical appointment yet. but just wondering, my last vaccinations was when i was just a baby and i dont have those copies anymore, I was born in Davao City, and currently residing here in Bacolod City.. so it was like, 21 years ago since I last step foot in my Hometown. Will it be a problem at St.luke's if i dont have copy of my latest vaccinations?

Hello all! I want to share this walkthrough I made regarding the medical exam I just took at St. Lukes. I hope this will help anybody in anyway.

I thought of creating this during my 2-day medical appointment, taking notes every step of the way and sketching floor plans in between waiting time. I know that there had been a few written about one’s medical experience at SLMCEC and as much as it helped me prepare and be aware of the whole scenario, I wanted to share something more comprehensive.

But please be reminded that everything here is based on my own experience and someone else’s procedures may vary. All went well on my medical so I assume this is within the typical flow of the whole process.

Ok, to start with:

<b>The Fees: </b>

US$213.35 for 15 y.o. and older

US$185.35 for 14 y.o. and below

<b>Hotels Near SLMCEC</b>

<b>What to Bring:</b>

- If you don’t have your appointment letter yet, you may bring a photocopy of your NOA2 letter and NVC letter showing your MNL case no.

- Valid Passport (have it photocopied as well)

- Appointment letter – Bring original and have the first 2 pages photo copied.

- 4 pcs. 2x2 photos – white background, with both ears uncovered and without earrings.

- Black ballpen

- jacket (it’s cold inside)

Misc:

- Bottled water. Foods are not allowed, but you can slip through hiding your crackers somewhere in your bag.

- Play Station Portable, Nintendo DS, Ipod Touch, books/pocket books – well, I mean, something you can play/read while waiting in between check-ups and procedures.

W/ appointment letter:

I handed over my appointment letter but then the security guard told me to have the 1st two pages photocopied, so I did (just right across the street) and then went back to hand him both the original and the duplicate, he stamped it both with “SLMCEC---something” .. and handed me a queue number. I arrived at 4:45am and got no. 32.

He gave me a form - the Patient Data Sheet (PDS) and the guard will check specific boxes you should fill in. Upon filling out your PDS, you’ll see an ‘Alien Case No.’ – that would be you MNL Case no.

He also handed me an Evaluation sheet to be returned upon release of your medical result – well, it’s just a Rate-Our-Clinic thing, with Excellent-Good-Poor check boxes

and questions on how to improve their service blah-blah.

Without appointment letter – well I guess, it’ll be the same as above as long as you have your NOA2 letter and NVC letter with MNL Case no.

- After you completed filling out your PDS, there’s really nothing more to do but sit down and wait for your number to be called.

- When the guard started to call in the numbers, he called batch by batch, 10 nos. in a batch.

- He guided us to fall in line in front of ‘Digital Photo Room’ to have our --- well, digital photo taken <img src="http://www.visajourney.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

- Have your PDS, Passport and photos ready. I handed those to the guy who takes the photos, everything was returned to me shortly after that.

- I went straight ahead in front of the releasing counters and fell in line.

- When it’s my turn, the screener asked me a few questions about my medical history … basically, you just have to answer everything he/she asks.. She stapled two(2) 2x2 photos on the PDS and inserted the other two(2) on a resealable plastic and stapled it once again on the lower part of the PDS.

- After it, the screener told me to pay the medical fees at the cashier located at the 5th floor.

- I then took the elevators to 5th floor and found the cashier at the corner, right beside the elevator. Paid the fees and told me to go to 4th floor.

<b><!--coloro:#FF0000--><span style="color:#FF0000"><!--/coloro-->:: 4th Floor ::<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--></b>

<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v352/integra_windgates/wof/4th_flr.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />

- I gave my PDS, Receipt, Passport and the photocopied appointment letter (keep the original, I believe that will be the one you’ll show at the interview) to the nurse at the reception. She gave me an “HIV Consent form” to fill out – I returned it to her afterwards and she then told me to sit down and wait for my name to be called.

- When my name was called, the nurse asked me of the last day of my last period (always remember your 1st and last day of period, they will keep on asking it till you bleed again … kidding)

- After she jotted down some notes on my papers, she gave it back to me and pointed me to go at the blood extraction room.

- Before the nurse started to collect blood sample from my arm, she asked me my name, my age and again, my first and last day of period… This procedure is to assess you of any drug use and of course, HIV.

- After the blood extraction, the nurse told me to go straight to the urine collection area, just right across the other side of the reception, a nurse is assigned there at the ladies C.R. – she’ll give you a plastic container to put your urine sample in. Hand it back to her when you’re done. This procedure is for pregnancy test and probably for other kidney-related illnesses. She told me to sit back down and wait for my name to be called.

- My name was called and they gave me back my papers and passport and told me to proceed to 3rd floor for the X-Ray.

<b><!--coloro:#FF0000--><span style="color:#FF0000"><!--/coloro-->:: 3rd Floor ::<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--></b>

<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v352/integra_windgates/wof/3rd_flr.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />

- I gave my set of papers to the nurse at the reception. If you have previous x-rays, be sure to bring the film (if it’s still available) so they can compare (and God knows if that would actually help alter their decision against their own x-ray results at any rate ~_~)

- Anyhoo, since I don’t have an x-ray film with me, they simply gave me a paper to fill out, stating the reason why I don’t have one – I checked the box that reads “No X-ray has ever been taken”. Gave it back to them.

- Somewhere on my PDS, they made me write my first day of my last menstrual period.

- Told me to sit down and wait for my name to be called (well, isn’t it always?)

- So my name is called and another nurse wrote down additional notes on my papers before he allowed me to enter the X-ray room. He returned to me my set of papers.

- Inside the X-ray room (a little room before the actual X-ray room) is a little area with some chairs so we can sit as we wait for our turn. Another small area is a changing room with hospital gowns provided where we should disrobe our upper garments (bra and shirt) .. any necklace should be removed as well. I sat down and waited for my name to be called.

- Upon calling my name, I then gave my set of papers to the nurse inside…. and it’s X-ray time! (I’ve been very anxious about this part ever since coz this is where they would find out if you have something strange in your lungs – hence, they’ll have you undergo the dreadful Sputum test) .. the nurse inside would assist you on how to properly execute the X-ray procedure.

- After I finished the X-ray, the nurse gave me back my papers and told me to proceed to 5th floor.

<b><!--coloro:#FF0000--><span style="color:#FF0000"><!--/coloro-->:: 5th Floor ::<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--></b>

<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v352/integra_windgates/wof/5th_flr.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />

- I walked towards the U.S. counter and handed over my set of papers to the personnel assigned there .. he wrote something on my papers and then a different nurse picked up my papers, he assisted me to follow him to have my body weight and height measured.

- Right after the nurse wrote down the weight record on my PDS, another nurse told me to proceed to the ‘Visual Exam Room’.

- Inside the Visual Exam Room, the nurse conducted a visual activity test where you would have to read a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Snellen_chart.svg" target="_blank">Snellen Chart</a> opposite a mirror. (more like a ‘give me a headache’ test) The nurse will ask if you're using contact lens or eye glasses prior to the exam.

- After the eye test, he told me to go sit and wait for my name to be called. (I’m starting to have the feeling of omitting all these sit-and-wait-for-my-name-to-be-called in this entire entry)

- The next thing done is they measured my Vital Signs - Blood Pressure and pulse rate.

- I handed over to the U.S. Counter my set of PDS after completing the Vital Signs procedure.

- Guess what happens here ………………… Correct!! Sit down and wait for my name to be called.

- My name is called, went to the U.S. counter and they handed me a number. That would be my number for the physical exam.

- It’s been the most agonizing 15 minutes of my whole medical process … waiting while thinking of getting all naked – NOT in front of your fiancé/husband … LOL!

- My turn for the physical exam .. the doctor/physician will ask you all sorts of questions starting from your name to all your past operations/hospitalizations to inhaling mosquito coils to having contact with an alien from the outer space positive with HIV……

- After all the seemingly non-stop questioning, the doctor ordered me to sign papers (kinda like a contract) attesting that I am telling nothing but the truth. She made me sign twice – one for saying that I gave birth 2 times, and the other one for stating that I’ve never had TB nor had contact with people who are infected of Tuberculosis.

- Then she made me disrobe completely, but thank goodness, I still had to wear a hospital gown – at least. I laid down on the bed and she checks certain parts of my body. Doctors will specifically check slash marks for suicidal attempts, needle marks for drug use, tattoos for positive contamination from use of needles…

…. and then the private parts … <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blush.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="blush.gif" /> She’ll make you spread your legs (or make you lie on your left side and bend your knees towards your chest). The physician checked the ####### and the ####### .. I believe they check it for possible signs of Sexually Transmitted Diseases or any abnormalities whatsoever. Don’t worry, if you’re a female, you’ll also have a female physician that will attend to you.

- She told me to go straight to U.S. Counter. I handed my PDS and they attached a slip where it reads, “You must personally claim your results....dah dah dah” in 3 different languages .. what the! … The nurse handed back my papers shortly right after that and told me to go to 2nd floor for immunization interview.

<b><!--coloro:#FF0000--><span style="color:#FF0000"><!--/coloro-->:: 2nd Floor ::<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--></b>

<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v352/integra_windgates/wof/2nd_flr.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />

- I gave my set of PDS to the guy on the reception right in front of the Immunization rooms.

- loooooooong wait here ..

- Called for Immunization interview (doctors area). The physician simply asked me a few questions like previous vaccines (don’t worry if you don’t have a record or can’t remember any, just tell the physician about it), sexual contact, pregnancies, if you’ve had chicken pox before, if it left any visible scars, etc … She told me of the available vaccines that I would take if all goes well with my medical results.

- It’s a wrap! The day is done! … and the last thing to do is to check out on the 2nd floor check out counter. There they will tell you to return the next day for the results. They will tell you what time. The only things left in your hands now would be your passport, the receipt, the evaluation letter and your original appointment letter/NOA2/NVC letter.

- Robinson’s place is not far from SLMCEC .. You’ll be as hungry as **** so I suggest you go there and treat yourself <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

<!--sizeo:3--><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo--><b>The 2nd Day</b><!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec-->

- Upon arriving at SLMCEC, the guard pointed me to another guard inside, standing behind some kind of podium, I handed him my receipt and he entered the control no. on a computer database, so this guy sort of has the ‘master’s list’ for all results of med exams.

--------------------------------

<!--coloro:#FF0000--><span style="color:#FF0000"><!--/coloro--><b>There are two things I know by far regarding the results:</b><!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->

If the guard stamped your receipt with “IMMUNIZATION” – then congratulations! You passed the medical exam and if you have anything scheduled after that, like for example - your visa interview in two days (like me), then there should be no worries.

If the guard stamped your receipt with “SPUTUM --- something” then unfortunately, you have to have a Sputum Collection and a 2-month long delay.

--------------------------------

…….. Okay, so I have mine stamped with “Immunization” and this made me proceed to 2nd floor for my vaccines.

- I gave my receipt to the guy at the reception (just the receipt, keep your passport) … and like always, I sat down and waited for my name to be called.

- ZZZZzzzzzzZzZzzz

- The intercom may sound vague most of the times, so you must listen attentively all the time.

- My name was called and they made us fall in line in front of the check out counter on the same floor (2nd floor). The guy behind the counter collected our passports.

- Go back to sleep. I mean, get back to your seat.

- My name is called and it’s time for my immunization. The attending nurse first asked me some few questions about allergies I might have, date of first and last day of my last menstrual period, my name, age and birth. Vaccines may vary for every applicant, I had 4 shots, 2 on each arm (TDAP, MMR, Anti-Cervical and HPV).

- *phew* .. thanks goodness, everything’s done … I was told to wait at the ground floor for the results.

:: GROUND FLOOR ::

- Zzz

- Waited like 3 hours

- My name is finally called but it’s not for the result yet … I went to window 1, the personnel made me sign my PDS and then I surrendered my passport .. told to me waaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiit until I die … kidding … waited for another 2 hours or so.

- RESULTS!! Oh the Wonderful Result!! … I was called to window 6 with a female staff – she asked a lot of questions like a pre-screener at the interview, she seems to ask a lot about what you’ve written on your PDS and a few from the physician comments written on it .. she’s kind of like verifying.

- She finally handed down a CD containing the X-ray details and a Vaccine sheet (these 2 are the only things they'll give you). She also told me that they would be the one to forward the results of my Medical Exam to the U.S. Embassy. They would keep everything including your passport.

- I went out. Took a pedicab to Taft Avenue and bought myself a Baconator for all my day’s worth.

My fiancee went to St Lukes for her medical yesterday and was referred to get a psychological evaluation because of her annulment with her ex. Does anyone here have similar experiences and how bad of a setback is this?

Don't worry. It's not a setback. The psych evaluation will cost Php1000 and it will take maybe 30 minutes or less.

Hello po!

Just wanna ask, what could be the possible reasons po to fail medical exam? Just wondering. Like if you have TB? what else po? Thank you so much.

I can't remember anyone failing the medical.

If you have TB, you won't actually fail the medical. You will simply be delayed while you get treatment. If you refuse treatment, you won't pass the medical.

If you have had an annulment where you were "psychologically incapacitated," you simply will have to undergo a psych evaluation.

If you have a history of mental illness or suicide attempts, it's likely that you will have to undergo the psych exam as well as the psych evaluation. I haven't noticed anyone flunking the medical due to the psych exam.

If you admit to illegal drug use, you will still pass the medical. However, it's highly likely that your visa will be denied.

Hi everyone! I just want to share an updated walkthrough regarding the medical exam my son & I took last July 24 & 26 at SLEC. This is my way of giving back the help my fellow VJers extended to us...

I thought of creating this since the most comprehensive note posted here was way back 2009. There were quite a few changes is the medical procedures like the online registration (which we did & it really helps a lot, no more filling out of forms) and the fees of course. But as mentioned before everything will still be based on our own experience and it may vary with yours.

Here's the link for online registration: http://www.slec.ph/us/registration/

I chose to go for medical on a Tuesday because I have a toddler in tow. He will be required to have TST (Tuberculin Skin Test) which will be read after 48 hours so it means we need to go back by Thursday for the 2nd Medical Day. And since my son's Toddler's class is MWF, the TTh schedule works to our advantage.

For the documents needed, I prepared everything the night before (separated my files from my son's) so I won't need to cross the street for photocopy or picture requirement. I placed in in 2 separate brown envelopes so it won't get mixed up. And since my son is only 2 years old I dragged my mom along with us so someone can oversee him while I do other test which they don't require for aged 14 y.o. and below.

<b>The Fees: </b>

You will pay in peso.

US$223.00 (PhP 9,589.00) for 15 y.o. and older

US$185.00 (PhP 7,955.00) for 14 y.o. and below

<b>What to Bring:</b>

For Regular Immigrants and K-Visa Applicants

-Valid passport

-Photocopy of Passport Biographic/Data Page, the page in the passport that contains the applicant's photo and information

-3 pieces recent 2x2 visa photos (2 for submission to the U.S. Embassy, 1 for clinic file)

-Appointment letter from the Embassy or Instruction letter from the National Visa Center (NVC), if available,otherwise NOA2 will do

-2 photocopies of your Appointment Letter/ Instruction Letter/NOA2

-Applicants are also required to provide the name, address and contact number of their petitioner in the U.S.A.

Note:

- Bottled water. Foods are not allowed, but you can slip through hiding your crackers somewhere in your bag.

- IPad, Playbook or books to keep you entertained. It's a must for children since they easily get bored from waiting & mind you every step you need to wait.

First Day

We arrived at around 5:45am, I handed our papers (all the requirements mentioned above, with the pictures, i put a paper clip on both our documents) to the guard, he stamped the photocopied Appointment Letter with SLMECEC-PDS and gave me queue numbers 10 & 11 for online. My son then is still in the car parked (on hazard) infront of the clinic but the guard advised me to go inside by 6:00am since i have a child with me. He advised me to feed my little boy first which is what I really intend to do.

At exactly 6:00am, we were already in the Reception Area (G/F). Upon entry the guard will stamped your hand with the SLEC logo, blue for applicants, red for companion (y mom). I noticed that numbers 1-10 for online were already called. Please note that there are separate queues and number assignment for online, walk-in and seniors. 2 SLEC officers were manning the Registration area for Online & Walk-in while there is only 1 SLEC officer manning the Senior's window. When it was our turn, the SLEC officer just verified our names, date of birth & interview date, asked to verify the info on the computer screen, took our picture and finger scanning.

By 6:30am - I'm already on queue on the Cashier's Area (5/F). She was very nice and friendly. Then the guard will direct you to submit your receipt to the US Counter Area (5/F).

6:45am - We were already seated on the lobby area, waiting to be called for Vital SIgns.

7:15am - Our names were called for Vital Signs, the nurse took my BP, PR, RR for my son only the PR. Then she asked us to proceed to the side where the previously called applicants are lined up for weight, height & eye exam.

7:45am - We were ushered in to a room next to the US Counter for wt, ht measurement & eye exam (for my son wt & ht only). After my eye exam the nurse instructed as how to go about the next steps. Based on my observation, she alternates the instructions as to what procedure you should do next so people will not be on the same floor waiting. For me, she instructed me to go first to Laboratory (4/F) for blood extraction & Urinalysis while the others she instructed to do XRay first.

7:55am - Went down to Laboratory 4/F using the stairs, gave my receipt to the reception then she asked me to scan my finger and was then instructed to go directly inside the Extraction Room. Inside the room there were 2 Medical Technologist & a few applicants, you need to sit on the chairs at the side of the door first and wait for them to call your name . After blood extraction, she will direct you to the other side (left) of the reception area for Urinalysis & the technician (table in front of the CR) in charge will give you a receptacle for the urine. She will ask for your visa category and if you are ready to void, if yes, she will hand you out the receptacle and will see you through the CR cubicle. After that, next will be XRay (3/F).

8:10am - Again using the stairs, we went down to 3/F for XRay. Gave my receipt & passport (but will be returned after Xray) to the reception area, she'll give a paper to fill out with your LMP (Last Menstrual Period) to be written on the topmost part (you should always write the first day). Then you need to wait for them to call your name before going inside the XRay Area for Women. Inside the Xray Area, there is another waiting area (you will be called in batches of 6 or more) and a dressing room where you get to change your top to a clean gown (note: minimize jewelries & make sure to tie your long hair of course you need to remove your bra). After changing to a gown, sit and wait for your turn. If you are clear, the Xray tech will immediately give you your passport and receipt and will direct you to the next step.

8:35am - This time with my son for the Immunization Interview (2/F). I gave our receipt to the reception area together with my son's baby book. The receptionist will give you a form to fill out, it's the Consent for the Immunization, it will be attached to your file. Don't worry for adults, just tell them you lost track of your Immunization Record. Anyways, the fee includes the vaccine charge regardless if you need to have it or not so better take it. For the child's Immunization Record, You need to give a photocopy of the Immunization Chart with the Pediatrician's complete name & signature plus PRC License number. And then the hardest part the Tuberculin Skin Test for my son. Skin Tests are really painful, more painful than injections, I should know, I'm a nurse . The doctor will take note of the date/time that it should be read after 48 hours and so she will advise you to go back on that said time and date.

9:00am - Physical Examination (5/F). The longest wait ever. We don't know what is taking them so long but we thought it might be the lack of doctors that day. We waited for 3 hours here. We were done by 12:00nn. And only for some interview like medical history & physical check up. It's like it took 5 minutes for my son & 10 minutes for me and walla were done. They are not that strict in doing the physical exam. The nurse instructed me to come back with my son on Thursday instead of Wednesday, so it will save us one day. So we went to Robinson's Place for lunch first before going home.

Second Day

We were asked to come back around 8:30am because my son's skin test needs to be read by 8:58am.

8:30am - Arrived at SLEC, presented our receipts to the guard inside (the one with the computer near the stairs). He stamped my receipts with FOR IMMUNIZATION (big sigh of relief) and my son's receipt with FOR READING and was instructed to go to 2/F Immunization Area.

8:35am - Gave our receipts to the reception area. Mine was lined up for Immunization Room while for my son, he was lined up for the Immunization Doctor for Reading.

8:45am - My name was called to the Immunization Room. It took me awhile as the applicant before me is a minor and they should be accompanied by their parents (not guardians) inside the room. And so the guardian is ranting that they are not informed, after all the discussion the minor was not given the vaccines, it's a legal matter, if a parent is here in PI, only them can accompany their child. So when it was my turn, she just verified my name, date of birth, interview schedule & explained the vaccines that will be given, cant remember if I signed a consent, yes I think I did. After that, I'm done. Instructed to wait at the Releasing Area (G/F) for the results.

9:00am - My son was called inside the Immunization Interview area for the reading. Of course, I know it's negative, I've been monitoring it & thank God no signs of redness with 0mm growth. So we were told to go back around 12:00nn for his vaccines because they need to enter all his Immunization Record in the system. The doctor said it takes them two hours to encode everything. Oh well I don't have a choice but to go back.

9:15am - We went down to the G/F for the release of my medical results. Your name will be called in Window A first, you need to give your passport and sign a couple of papers then go back to your seat and wait further. After that your name will be called again (can be in Window C-H), the nurse will ask for your 2pcs US passport size picture, will explain the vaccines you received and to do follow up or booster doses in the US, will remind you what to bring on your interview, that they will be the one to forward the results to the US Embassy and will hand you back your receipt, passport & Chest Xray CD with your vaccination record.

10:30am - We went to Robinson's Place for early lunch.

12:00nn - We went back to SLEC 2/F Immunization Record. Asked the receptionist if it's ready but he directed me to go directly to the Immunization Room and ask the nurses if my son's record is with them already. And so I went inside the room and was told to wait for his name to be called but I already saw his file and I knew that he will already be called on the next batch.

12:15pm - My son's name was called & the struggle begins. The nurse explained to me the vaccines, gave paper for post immunization reminders. He was given 3 shots and I was surprised because after the injection he cried a little but acted as if nothing happened afterwards. No fever as well for him. After that same procedure as mine. We went down to the G/F for the Releasing of Results.

1:30pm - We were out of SLEC with happy faces.
