Medical Exam

Aaaaaaah...Mayi,

Don't forget about the vaccinations. It's best if he has a "complete" record in Cuba on that medical exam, otherwise you guys pay WAY more to get them done here in the US by a civil surgeon.

Ja ja...congratulations! May I ask how much???

One other thing...ja ja. Be sure to make copies for yourself of all his medical stuff before going to the interview. They will take it at the US Interests Section, but you need copies for Adjustment of Status (AOS).

I'll let you know if anything else comes to mind shortly...ja ja.

Congrats on another step forward.

That's all good, but if he's not a "civil surgeon" registered with USCIS, you will have to go to one and PAY...a relative handful of doctors are registered "civil surgeons" if you aren't aware.

We didn't make copies. Do they not give us back the chequeo when they give him the visa?

The US Interests Section in Cuba gives you a sealed envelope which YOU are NOT to open EVER (and the medical is in there)...It's opened by the officer at point of entry (POE) into the US, but they won't likely want to make copies for you (even if you remember to ask with all the excitement).

Not sure of your timeframe, but maybe you could still ask the doctor in Cuba for a copy before you leave. It seems ridiculous, because they already have a copy of your medical exam from that envelope at POE, but the AOS application requests a copy too. You might have to go to a civil surgeon here, and have the whole medical done again before you can submit AOS papers.

I don't want to be a "downer", but even the VJ guides suggest making copies of the Medical for AOS. Try getting a copy from the issuing hospital if at all possible.

Those people are incredible its enought that we had to pay to advance on medical exam....... We will have no choice but to pay one here. I think the exams are running around 200.00 in Miami... But will try to get away with a regular copy. Just in case

Now I'm confused...somewhere between 60 and 606cuc. I thought 60 was a tip, then 606 may be a total for the medical exam with tip.

No the tip was 60 cuc... the medical exam is 400 and you dont pay that until visa is approved and pay it along with visa

I'm not sure I'm following you, but all you need is a regular copy of the Medical for AOS...actually, just a copy of the vaccination portion if your medical is less than a year old prior to applying for AOS. It sounds like you'll be fine if you make copies Mayi...just be sure Omar does it...ja ja.
