Medical and self harm

[RachC 0]

Hello, i'm new to this website so bare with me.

I'm currently awaiting word on my k-1 visa but what i'm stressing about is the medical. I have a slight history of self harm - the 15 year old confused teenage self kind - i'm now a happy 24 year old. I never sought any help for it at the time and I have done anything of the kind for over 9 years but I do have some scars. But because I never went to the Doctors about it there's no medical documents of what occurred etc or how I am now in comparison. I would never self harm again i'm a totally grown up different person to that girl then but how do you go about telling that to the knightbridge drs?

I'm rather worried seeing it's in one of their clauses of entrance into the USA there's risking not mentioning it but if they work it out then it doesn't bare thinking about.

How do I back my cause up?

when you go to your medical the doctor will ask you about it, and just be honest and tell the truth and maybe the doctor will ask you to go to a psychologist. It is nothing to worry about, I have my scar too and I just told the psychologist about the past. i don't think it will affect your visa. Good luck there is nothing to worry about

Cheers guys for the advice, really just don't want the past (what was years ago) to stop and ruin what me and my guy have. I'll battle whatever I have to get there though, but i'm feeling more positive about it. So thank you!
