I have run into a bit of an issue with our medical examination and need some assistance on what to do next.

My wife got her interview appointment set for May 16th at the US Consulate in Turkey, Ankara. We came  to Ankara  on the 10th early as the Medical Examination Office had suggested that it can take up to 2 days to get the tests done but mostly all tests would be done on the same day. My wife took her exam on the 10th and she was told that she would receive the status of her medical examination on the same day by 7 PM . Around 6 PM we called them and inquired about the medical exam. They ensured us that everything is correct but we would receive the answer the following day.

 

Today  we did not receive any answers again. We went and visited their office and they said they had the wrong phone number listed for us but everything is correct  and they have already sent the medical examination records  to the US Consulate. We were told that now that the phone number has been updated we will get the medical exam results by tonight Of course today we still did not get an email and we called them again. Now  they claim that they have been having some computer issues and this is why they can not send our medical exam. They have ensured us that the exam results are good and have been sent to the US consulate however when we ask them for proof they refuse to give us any proof. They just say wait till the computer issue is resolved so we can finally get my wifes results.

 

I am furious right now as  our interview is coming up shortly and we have no proof that the medical exam was completed. Iam out of 500 dollars and this is the only doctor office that can do the medical examination in Turkey.  I am just wondering what I should do, if my wife goes to the interview and the consulate tells us that there is no medical examination done , what are our options?

The consulate will not accept any medical document from you anyway.  They will want the medical exam results to be sent directly by the clinic.  Did you not get a receipt for the exam fee?

Go to the interview as scheduled.  Maybe they did, in fact, send the exam to the consulate  Good luck.

I have not heard of an applicant having to bring their medical exam for a consular interview. It’s always sent directly by the medical office to the consulate. I also don’t think they would provide proof of that, I personally went to the medical, I had a receipt of my card payment and that’s it. I did not ask them if they sent it or not either , I just assumed they do and they did

I did, but that was some time back. I am not sure there is a standard, seems to vary by Consulate.

Wife also had to hand-carry medical results to interview in Taiwan in 2017.  Not sure if that has changed there.
