Hi,

I need to clarify whether the intending immigrant is required to present his/her chest x-rays from the medical examination completed for the immigrant visa to border patrol at a point of entry to the US.

Or he/she only presents the the thick envelope given to him/her at the US consulate.

Thank you

Generally, only the envelope. Though some CBP folks have been known to be a bit overzealous.

Completed: K1/K2 (271 days) - AOS/EAD/AP (134 days) - ROC (279 days)

Thanks.

Is one actually supposed to take the x-rays with him/her to the USA?

X-rays must be checked-in and can't be taken as carry-on. How can you provide x-rays to CBP when you go through Customs and Border Protection before you get your checked-in luggage?

The reason I ask is because the doctor delivered my exam results to the consulate herself, but I was given x-rays on a large film in an envelope, which I was told I will not need to show at POE. Now, I am not certain whether the thick envelope that I was given at the consulate includes like a cd of my x-rays or not. I don't really want to take that large envelope with my x-rays that was given to me.

Just the thick envelope. I just came to the States on K1 in September 2012. The X-ray is still sitting in my desk. This X-ray copy is entirely for your own records, and in case you need another medical done. I had it in my carry-on the entire time. Hope this helps.

At my interview I was told to just keep the x-ray for my own medical records. Mind you mine are on a CD which is a little easier to tote around.
