Medical in Sydney

[kitkat1985 2]

Hey Guys,

I wanted to get a clear response regarding doing the medical in Sydney. Once you have completed the medical with Dr. Waks, can you pick up the results right afterwards... or will it be mailed to the consulate? How long does it take to get the medical results back? and can copies of the results be requested?

Hey Kitkat

The way it normally works is as follows:

1. Get an appointment.

2. Prior to the appointment, get the details of immunization records. If you don't have the records go to your GP and he will do a blood test to determine the immunization you have taken (it normally takes 3-4 days for the results, but it could vary). In case you haven't take any immunization shots, you can tell the GP to give you or Dr Waks clinic can give you.

3. The day of the appointment, the doctor will go through all the questions and procedure etc including the x-ray and blood test. The doctor won't be able to give you a conclusive result as the x-ray and blood examination won't be available. Please don't forget to carry a prepaid express envelope.

4. Once all the reports and results are ready (normally it takes 3-4 days after the examination), the doctor will either send you a white sealed envelope (consulate copy) along with a copy of the reports (for your reference) in the prepaid envelope (scenario 1) or the doctor will send the consulate copy directly to the consulate and send you a copy of the reports (scenario 2). If the scenario 1 happens you just need to mail the white sealed envelope to the US consulate (Sydney office).

That's all you need to do. When you go for the appointment, the doctor or the assistant will explain in detail what you require to do. So I suggest don't stress out.

Hope the above answers all your questions.
