Medical exams

[dbzman 0]

I have a question about medical exams.

I will be marrying my Fiancé in Japan on April 15th. We had originally planed on filing DCF but that is not possible now.

What we want to do is get her medical exam when we visit Tokyo for our honeymoon. Since she has to fly to Tokyo to get a medical exam we want to do it then so that she does not have to pay for another flight. Can we get her medical exam performed before we file the I-130? Would they accept it?

We will be using one of the medical facilities that were listed on the Tokyo Consulate website.

I have heard that the exams are good for one year.

Thanks!

Hi,

I don't know about Japan. But in Denmark they won't. It has to be after receiving your appointment letter as the medical report will be sent directly to the embassy by the doctor. But like I said it might be different in Japan. Good luck.

Fish around for other Tokyo stories to see the flow, but normally one needs some kind of case number from the Consulate in order to get the medical appointment with the designated panel doc.

Another reason to not do this plan is that the procedures change, often with no notice. The UK had changes in their medical policies 3X over a year or so. Additionally, the medical details are only valid for X period of time; I do not think you would be saving any money this way.

You may be able to buddy up the medical and visa interview when it is their time; the most conservative approach is to wait (and I understand--we too had to pay for a special flight just for the medical).

this is a problem i am facing in Japan, we did the med stuff last year in may of 06 because we were planning to do dcf last year but we got a little busy so i dont know if she will have to do the the tests again.We still have the sealed med reports with a date stamped on them.

Im still waiting for my noa1 which is day 14...i hope they will send to japan because i dont have a us address since ive been living in japan since 2002.I hate waiting because i want to send my I-129f but i need that freaking noa1!!!

I paid with a japanese post office money order so i dont know how to track it and get the noa1 or if they could cash the money order...

I wonder if dcf will come back...im going to send my tax stuff out this week....i think i got it figured out...and apply for her ittn in TX.

When you had the medical exam did they ask for a case number? I have been told that they will not perform the exam until the I-130 is filed.

When you find out if they will accept the medical exam before the I-130 please let me know since I will be getting married in April and we want to get the exam out of the way while we are in Tokyo.

Thanks and good luck!
