If nothing constructive to say then shut it, we have been together 19 years, hence why I said partner and not boyfriend......

 

we we have never been on holiday separately in all our years together so I think I would know where he has travelled to, I also completed all visa paperwork and looked over ACRO police report so there’s no secrets.......

 

thanks for your useless comments!

Just so you know it is against the site's TOS to tell other posters not to comment.

 

But like the other's have mentioned it does seem strange for a denial to lead to ask for a medical. This board gets thousands of questions a day and almost often do the active members have to ask multiple questions to get all the information needed to get the most accurate answers. Like @Boiler always say, there is always more to the story.

So you took offense that I called him a boyfriend not a partner. Good grief.

 

why did he need an ACRO for a tourist visa? That's only needed if you've been arrested, cautioned or convicted. 

 

As I said, boyfriend is not telling you something.

So did the OP close out their account?

Might seem “unconstructivr” to you but you’d be amazed at some of the other posters we get. If you were a regular here you’d understand there are - many - people in the situations you were asked about. Your response was pretty rude, as you admit. Not the way to get people to help. From an objective perspective, the reasons those type of questions come up is when all the reasonable possibilities have been dealt with they are the logical next step, plus you did seem evasive on certain questions.

 

Its curious to me, incidentally, you even had reason to look over a police report - most people I know never have reason to see one unless they require it for immigration (not visit visa) purposes. 

 

Anyway if best guess is that there’s been a “monumental mess up” (not impossible but highly unlikely, I’ve been around to watch two separate cases of “same name as terrorism watchlist” unfold in front of me, medicals were not required) rather than your partner having done something wrong to get denied both an ESTA and a visa & then asked for a medical  - there’s not much anyone here can do. 

 

 

At one time, the US required HIV tests for B2 visa holders early on in the epidemic however, that was removed also a while ago following the Circue De Soleil court case. Quite frankly, your partner is not telling you something or has forgotten what he might have said at the interview. A MEDICAL is totally different from a drug test. IF the latter is required for a B2, obviously it is an automatic denial without any further recourse.

Looks like the OP decided to leave and close their account. Too bad...I was curious what the underlying cause was as well. They don't just ask for a medical for a B-2 randomly, so there was clearly something else going on. And an ACRO is not something one would normally just possess...so while there may not have been any secrets, if I had to bet, there was some criminal history that may be relevant to the visa process.

 

I guess we'll never know.

Perhaps she got the clue that there was something that she had not been told about and found out what it was?

 

I am sure there must be occasions where somebody in her Partners position does not not know the real reason but not sure I have come across a good example.

 

Yes of course you can avoid the US when flying to Jamaica and Mexico but my recollection is that usually it is cheaper not to. I envisage that there was a heart to heart and the OP has the answer.

Usually what happens when they realize that we have worked out what the problem was but they were hoping to keep it hidden.
