Medical exam USA or Canada

[Hugglebuggles 60]

For a K-1, you can book your medical when you have your packet 3 in hand. When you go for the medical, they want to see something with your MTL case number and your name on it. When I had my medical done in Toronto, I was still waiting on an interview date from Montreal (back under the old system) and I just used the cover page of my P3 to get in. When I booked my appointment over the phone, I explained this to the receptionist and she said it is perfectly fine. The confusion comes in because CR-1's need to have an interview date in order to book a medical appointment.

Dr. Seiden in Toronto and in Montreal offers 2 days service for medical results. I believe the other doctor on Montreal only does 3 day service, but he charges a lower rate, so it depends on how quick you need it.

Medicals are valid for 1 year. However, you want to make sure you don't do it to early. It needs to be less than a year old when you file for AOS, or you will be required to have a new medical done after you get to the US.

Huggles advice is right on when it comes to how things work here in Canada - we don't have the same concerns as other countries - you could certainly phone one of the offices and ask what their typical wait time is to get an appointment - that will prepare you once you get P3 in hand.

As she mentions - best not to do it too early - you want to take advantage of being able to use the same results for your AOS after marriage.

Cheers

Everybody +1 all the correct responses so the OP doesn't get the wrong information! lol

RICARDO4EVA2, while we appreciate your willingness to help, please try to refrain from responding to questions you don't have the correct information on. Each country and even each Consulate or Embassy does things differently and it's confusing for members to receive conflicting information. Thank you.
