My husband has his medical on Tues Feb 9. He's currently under the same roof as his sister who has a bad cold (possibly a mild flu or bronchitis). He's so worried about getting sick. What happens to the medical if someone goes while they have a cold or bronchitis? If you get sick with something mild like that do you have to cancel the appointment? Amsterdam schedules the medical for 1 week before the interview. That gives really no time for recovering and rescheduling.

Thanks

No, you don't have to cancel with a cold. If Bronchitis is discovered then the doc will simply suggest he get treatment and meds and that's the end

of the story. It is a non issue and nothing to worry about in regards to the visa. If certain vaccines can't be given during his 'feeling ill' then he can get them later.

If he is too sick then he should simply re schedule.

Him being sick might affect his pulse rate and blood pressure but that's about it. They can still do the medical exam.Like Ebunoluwa says, if he needs additional vaccinations, they might not be able to give him these when sick but that's no reason to cancel the medical.

As long as he feels up for it, I'd tell him to just go and do it. If he can't do the medical in time for his interview, they'll give him a 221(g) at the time of the interview, telling him that they're waiting for the result of his medical exam before they can issue the visa.
