MEDICAL EXAMINATION

[Channah&Aaron 51]

Hi yall!

How does an medical examination look like? I don't know what to expect and what they're going to check and all that.. Do I have to get naked?

Kind regards,

Channah

Hi Channah,

I assume you're talking about the medical done in Amsterdam?! Nothing to worry about, you do not have to go naked! They weight you, measure you height, check your bloodpressure and just ask you general questions (have you ever been depressed, on medication etc). Oh yeah, they also take some blood, so if you wear something with short sleeves so they can reach your elbow easy you do not have to take off any clothes.

The X-ray is done at a different place (at least when I had to do it) and I did have to take my shirt and bra off. I didn't have a bad experience, nobody touches you and you just have to stand in still for a few minutes and you're done and can dress up again.

; Thanks!!

But ummm, a X-ray? What for? I am just asking because that I didn't know. Not that I've got something to hide.. Im just curious why they want to have a X-ray...

They do an x-ray at the K-1 medical exams to check for TB.

Not only for the K-1, I did the CR-1 route and had the X-ray for TB (tuberculosis) too.

That is quite true. They are applying for a K-1, so that is the only reason I mentioned it in my response.

Nothing to worry about :-) the Dr. in Ansterdam is very nice by the way, when I was there I wasnt the onlyone who was sent by the US conulate so they know exaclty what they need to do.

I remember I was soooo nervous since I got the N1H1 virus when I had my medical examination, I needed some vaccines, and because I was sick the Dr. couldnt give them to me that day. It wasnt a problem! I got my visa approved and later on when I arrived here in the US we sent the vaccination record with the "Adjustment of Status" package, so even if you need extra vaccines or ar sick there is nothing to worry about :-)

If you wear a 100% cotton shirt without a tag and pictures, then you only have to take the bra off, but you can leave the shirt on.  Cotton doesn't interfere with Xray beams
