Dear friends,

I have a question that I need to ask you guys, especially those who already went through the interview. I have learned that before the interview, the applicant (i.e., fiance /fiancee) is required to go for the medical exam, and then bring the result to the interview. People who has communicable diseases such as ADIS, herpes, or tuberclosis will be denied of visa (for tuberclosis, the applicant has to take drug until the lung is clear, for AIDS the applicant is just simply denied of visa). So, my question is what about other non-communicable (non-contagious) deseases, such as heart-related problems, keyney-related problems, etc.... Will the applicant be denied of visa when she/he has these non-communicable deseases? What would the consular officer do when she/he see such a situation?

Thank you very much!

The medical is purely screening for diseases that could be spread to others once you are in the US. It is not looking for general health issues, although as doctors, they obviously will tell you if they find something you should know about. However it would not preclude you from passing your medical.

The consular officer is not a doctor. He looks at the doctor's report, which specifies (in the doctor's opinion) whether you passed the medical or not. It is not up to the consular officer to interpret the specific medical results.
