Are you PH?

Heads up to those who will do their medical in St. Lukes Manila. This is something you can expect to happen.

 

1. Ready your docs

    *passport, passport copy, letter from nvc, confirmation interview, 2x2 pictures 4pcs

    *submit it to guard and get the number

2. Wait for your number to be called this is still in the ground floor for PDS and finger scan. Double check everything, I mean the entire info

3. Proceed to the cashier 5th floor

4. Proceed to the 4th floor for blood and urine test. Dont worry they will extract your blood easily. For the urine test,its best to drink a lot of water and eat before going there.

5. You will be asked now to go to 3rd floor for your x-ray. Fill out the form that will be given to you and remember the first day of your last mens. Girls bring pony tail. And wear clothes thats easy to undress

6. After xray, you will be asked to go to immunization interview on 2nd floor, fill out another form the  wait your name to be called. Here the doctor will ask you questions about your vaccines. Bring records if you have one.

7. Now this is another long wait. You will proceed to 5th floor for vital signs&weight your name will be called then you have to wait again to check your height and have an eye test. After these, you will wait too long for medical exam  here I think it depends on the doctor if they will ask you to remove all clothes or not. Just be honest with your answer and consistent.

8. Once done, the personnel in the USA counter will ask you to go to ground floor and put your paper in the box at cubicle A.

9. Waiting time again, you will be for immunization in second floor if theres no problem in your medical.  You will be given vaccines depending on your history. 

10. After vaccinations, you will be asked to go back to ground floor for releasing, ready your passport and wait till your name will be called. Double check everything and listen to the personnel as they speak fast to provide fast service. The brown envelope and passport are for the us embassy inteview and the vaccine report and cd are for the usa entry.

 

then thats it. Never open the brown envelope.

 

if it happens that you will be asked for sputum then you have to be back for 3 consecutive days for them to collect your sputum and wait for 8weeks. Some also went there to have a skin test and sputum collection. If there will be other things that they need to clarify they will let you know. As they took the lab tests already so they will not give you vaccines if they see that theres something that they need to clarify.

 

on the positive side, seeing some symptoms on the medical won't mean denial right away as St. Lukes is there to help us to be admissable to USA so they are providing cure to those applicants who are undergoing more lab tests now. 

 

God Bless to us guys! And Goodluck!  hope this post will help you.

Those planning to go on their medical in PH! I was there at 3:30am and got cue at number 16. They start checking papers from the guard before handing out the numbers, just make sure you have them clipped together with your passport.  i finished all in one day and got the results as well. It was somewhat fast. I just waited 5 hours to get the results. Finished all by 9am then waited till 2pm to get immunization and results.  i was out by 4:30z. If you have eveything organized, all will go smoothly.

I wish it could be this fast when I go on mine but I'm pretty sure they will make me go to psych eval due to the cuts on my arms. Just hope they schedule it the day after my medical or just a few days later. Don't wanna wait 2 weeks or more.  I'm glad you got your results the same day, though! You will be with your love very, very soon!

Thank you.  Be there early, I was there 5am today and able to finish all around 3pm..  regarding your cuts, the doctor will check it if they will ask you about it and you answered well we don't know they may not ask you for a test.  and if they will do you can take it the other day.

Sorry, I don't know what is PH. 149 days ... looking at such timelines helps not losing the hope. Good luck to you!

This forum has been such a source of support while going through this process. My fiancé successfully had his interview and was approved yesterday at the embassy in Tokyo. 

Hoping for positive results for everyone else as well

[notantifun 196]

I hit a major road block in my medical. I was required to do the 3 day sputum test which will add 8 more weeks to my visa journey. Plus 6 more months if positive. It's been a really awful day. I missed work tonight coz it took forever to get my x-ray results. Congrats to my fellow Filipino beneficiaries who have completed their medical.

Thanks. I'm trying to keep positive. I didn't go to work tonight and I have been reading about that dreaded sputum test. Anyway, good thing my fiance and I haven't planned anything solid. No wedding plans (we're eloping), No plane tickets, etc. My original target was to leave by September. I will get the result of the sputum test on the 3rd week of August provided the initial tests (given after the 3rd day) is negative. I might still be able to leave around September. Hopefully get the earliest possible interview schedule after that.

Is this Sputum test a PH medical thing only?  Or do all medicals in all countries have that?  I don't recall reading or seeing anything about such a test?

[T&T=K 8]

Please, tell me what is PH?
