A small question about the medical exam. When should I go get mine? We've sent in our I-129F to CSC at the end of September. Can I already make an appointment now a couple of months before the interview or should I wait until I get my NOA2? The more I get done now,the better!

Also people who can tell me where I should go to? I'm from Belgium.

Thanks in advance,

Marlies

The US Embassy will inform you when they received all your documents from NVC, then they will inform you of the steps to follow including medical exams, police reports, etc, etc.

You could start putting things together making sure you have all the vaccines, possibly visit your GNY, making sure your blood tests are in order.. If you visit the US Embassy website, you will find a list of approved doctors and a list of medical requirements..

Hope this helps,

I would wait until you get your NOA2 before going to a medical. It only takes 2 appointments within 4 days of each other.

for the vaccinations:

I didn't have any vaccination charts, but i did my schooling in belgium and the doctor told me i already had all the required vaccinations because it is required by law in Belgium.

So all he did is give me a tetanus shot which also happens to be the cheapest vaccination for a little over 5 euros (without mutuality).

I went to the doctor in antwerp. (there's 3, 1 in luxembourg, 1 in brussels and 1 in antwerp)

If you go to antwerp, he'll tell you to get an X-ray done there as well which is an office close to the doctor's.

This is the doctor's address. (doctor cost me 85 euros without mutuality)

This is the best answer to your question because it's from a VJ'er in Belgium.

In Thailand, we did the police report & medical exam before getting confirmation from the NVC or the consulate that it got to those stages.

The confirmation we did get was the DHL package going from Portsmouth, NH to BKK. When we got packet3 from the consulate (on my

last day in Thailand, October 31, which we both witnessed the mailman delivering) we had already done the police check and medical exam.

Medical exam is part of the consulate stage of the K-1 process (and consulate-specific to a great extent) - moving to US Embassy and Consulate Discussion

Improved USCIS Form G-325A (Biographic Information)

Form field input font changed to allow entry of dates in the specified format and to provide more space for addresses and employment history. This is the 6/12/09 version of the form; the current version is 8/8/11, but previous versions are accepted per the USCIS forms page.
