MEDICAL - Any tips to those with young children?

[mumof2 0]

Honestly Im having a hard time taming my 4&5yo boys all by myself. How is it like during medical exam? I promise I cannot do it going alone with 2 of them in tow.

HELP on what to do. They said during interview at USEM one can bring a companion. How about for medical exam? And is there a separate processing or procedure because definitely children cant take the long wait and the long lines.

argggh.

You can bring someone with you to SLEC to assist with small children.

And make sure to go there Monday to Wednesday only. The children get a TB test that takes 3 days to complete and therefore cannot be administered on a Thursday or Friday.

You can bring someone with you on the medical and the embassy interview.

I accompanied my husband and our 3 kids to their medical & interview back in 2011, no issues.

Good luck.

I brought my Mom during my medical exam and interview to help me with my then-1year old baby.

thank you for your replies. no we're not on that stage yet but better to be informed early. so now i can relax a bit.

BIG HELP

i've asked in another thread about the question... if I have been exposed with somebody who has TB.

My boys had primary complex 3 years ago. Should I answer yes?

And is primary complex considered a full blown TB ?

Goodluck to u!! Cant wait for my daughter's medical hoping the result will be negative for her tuberculin skin test. My daughter has a history of pneumonia back when she was 1year old .and i dont think im gonna tell the doctor about this when they ask me... the importnt is my daughter is healthy now, no cough, colds etc. Im making sure she's eating healthy(no softdrinks, no junkfoods)and taking multivitamins + vitamins C evryday...

Never lie. Exposure is exposure... and TB is TB

Good to eat healthy but in regards to TB it will make no different. Just answer questions honestly.

Definitely do not lie to them. If you are caught, that is visa fraud, which can get you a lifetime ban from entering US as well as criminal charges.

They will test you for TB whether you were exposed or not. If you pass the test you are good to go. If you fail, you get further testing. Applies whether you were exposed or not. So if you lie and get away with it, you really got nothing of value anyway.
