London Medical - Knightsbridge Doctors

[Al422 221]

I found it strange they couldn't give me some of the results of the medical on the day or tell me how I did. Scars were the only issue, but the doctor mentioned that "physical went okay", but the questions regarding scars were peculiar and she even tried to catch me out to see if I'm a liar. They are just childhood scars lol. All understandable in her position, but a little uneasy to start with. All went well and it wasn't bad at all. Everybody was quick and friendly. I just hated the rain and getting lost.

Is it possible the doctor was considering the scars were from self-harm incidents, thereby questioning your mental health?

Yes, I believe so. She asked quite peculiar questions related to the reasons. Not to mention the places she checked. I would be 99% sure it was the reason.

fiancé's medical is the 28th of the month. will knightsbridge send him anything prior to his medical?

The doctor is required to examine the genitals and check off a box saying that he did. Most of the time they take a quick peek just so they can check the box without lying, although in countries with abnormally high STD rates he might be more thorough.

We can only speculate on why the doctor must do this. But it seems the biggest reason is to check for STDs, as urinalyisis misses a lot of active STD infections. In additon, I heard some rumors that fradulent representation as to your gender is common on the I129(f), and this is an easy way to bust impostors.

I know they're required to peek at the genitals, but from what I'd read before going, they lift your knickers up and take a quick look. The doctor I saw had me get completely naked from the waist down and open my legs all the way, which I definitely was not expecting

They send him nothing, but he has to bring stuff with him:

• Appointment letter from the United States Embassy
• Passport
• 4 passport-sized photographs (four for each applicant, including babies)
• Medical questionnaire, form IV18a (one for each applicant, including babies)
• Police certificate (unless you have already sent original to the Embassy)
• Spectacles or contact lenses if worn
• Vaccination records, with original certification
• Children's 'Red Book' health record
• Medical reports of any past or current illnesses including psychiatric. If there is a history of TB, please obtain old records, including investigation and treatment details
• When there may be special educational needs, please provide any recent educational, psychological assessments, school reports etc.

Us K1's don't get an appointment letter until after the medical, just a heads up so that nobody panics, thus just applies to the spousal visa

She said "The doctor I saw had me get completely naked from the waist down and open my legs all the way" sounds awful lol

[E-N 48]

It's not just a peek ...

Don't worry, ladies - if you have had (or ever plan to have a baby), it won't bother you that much. Heck, everyone wants to have a look before and after you deliver. What's one more

Try not to worry, it's over before you know it. It seems like the doctors do it differently as the doctor I had just asked for me to quickly pull my trouses/underwear down and back up again, it was a matter of seconds.

I just had a smear test, so it was like preparation for the "peek" at the medical! Just remember, these people see peoples parts every day so it's no big deal!

Oh yes, I think I had about 10 medical students watching me give birth. For some reason i'm still weirded out about doing it at the medical though...
