Addn'l Documents (if applicable): Medical Certificate

[MME 3]

Hello again everyone.

I was reading SLEC website about what each applicant must present under Medical Examination for U.S. Immigrant Visa Applicants.

there is one part there that states:

 

i. Additional documents that you may bring, if applicable.

Medical certificate regarding a previously-treated or currently managed clinically significant illness, Original and 5 photocopies. The medical certificate should contain the following information:

•Medical Treatment

   •name of medication (brand and/or generic name)

   •dosage

   •duration and dates of treatment

•surgical procedure done

•complete final diagnosis

•outcome of treatment or treatment plans and prognosis, if available.

 

the word "surgical procedure done" means any surgeries? year 2016 i underwent abdominal myomectomy (laparotomy). Do i need to provide medical certificate for it and present it to SLEC?

but it says, "if applicable" means not mandatory?!?

 

thank you in advance.

If you have any kind of med records for the procedure bring it with you.  Otherwise be prepared to give the dates of surgery and what the procedure was (laparotomy).

Thank you for the reply. 

I will bring with me my transvaginal ultrasound and hospital data forms (date of admission, date of discharge, date of surgery, surgical procedure given, complete final diagnosis, home medications to be taken after surgery). Perhaps these documents will be good?!?

Yes it would be good to bring copies of your medical files to SLEC for the medical if you have them.   But don't stress if you do not have them.

Know this upfront. They may not look at anything you bring but only record the information that the procedure was done. But, it's better to have then not have it with you in the event they ask. Good luck. Make sure you bring a hoodie or jacket to stay warm. Biggest complaint from those who attend that it is coooooold in the building.  Also, bring something to read or phone as there is a lot of downtime between the different stations you will visit.
