My Medical Exam Experienced (Sept 26)

[Ness and Keith 0]

Hi Guys,

Just want to post my experienced in medical exam..

Unfortunately i had from Sept 26-27 and Oct 1 to 4. You need to prepare a 2x2 picture based on the specification on you packet coming from USEM.

On the first day i have my X-Ray, Laboratory Test (Blood and Urine Test), Vital Statistic, height and weight determination then the eye test, Immunization History Interview, Medical Exam- here all applicants are asked to disrobe completely..

Unfortunately on my X-ray(back view) they found suspicious (they found something in my upper right lungs) so i was advised to have another X-Ray in lateral view so i had additional fee of P322 aside from the $95 i paid earlier.

On the second day i was instructed to come back around 1:30pm so i went there around 12:30pm. Here instruction are given for additional test ir requirements are given and scheduled accordingly depending on the presence of pertinent findings. Unfortunately during this time while waiting for my result i was called on the 2nd floor that was around 2:30pm that i can go home then an i need to undergo sputum test for 3 consecutive days (Oct 1-3) early in the morning from 6:30-8:30.. So i only did this thing for 3 days.. Normally if they will not seen any abnormalities on ur X-ray u will not undergo this.. I just wonder since almost 25% had the sputum test.. This was hard for me since im not coughing and i need to give them flem on that 3 consecutive day.. But anyway i did..

On Oct 4 they advised me to come back around 1:30pm again for pulmonary evaluation (this time the Doctor will explain to you why u had undergo sputum test and wat is the result of the lab test) Thank God that the findings on me is negative for TB.. (im 100% for since i don't drink and smoke either i never exposed on people who have this disease) the doctor advised me that i just be careful with my lungs..

I finished my pulmonary evaluation around 2:30 thn wait again to be called for immunization.. This is the part i waited for 5 hours b4 my name was called just to have one shot(vaccine) this is for chickenpox.. they will give u shot if they cant find any scares that u had it before..I had my chickenpox at the age of 17 but since they didn't find any scare so i had given vaccine of it.. (U need to bring something to read so that u will not get bored in this long time of waiting) Then after that was releasing, takes another 3 hours before i finally finished all. They will return to u the X-Ray Film and the immunization form.. SLEC is the one who will forward to US Embassy the result of ur medical and they get ur passport to attached in it (In releasing section they will ask again 2x2 id pix).

But normally medical Exam takes 2 days only if they will not seen anything on the test or X-ray..

And with regard to my K3 interview i requested it to moved to mid-nov to catch up with my CR1.. The agent said that i will wait for another appointment letter that will be sent by USEM.. Since i do prefer to have my CR1 visa rather than K3 visa..

Thanks Cheska, yesgood thing that they didn't find anything in my lungs.. while waiting for the result i really got so worried what if they find something on it

Hi Rina thanks, Yes i hope that i will get case complete before the end of October.. we are still for our corrected DS230 my Husband didnt received it yet.. We want to be together by Christmas.. I did sacrificed my K3 interview since i want the CR1.. and for sure even though i had last oct 5 it will be useless since for sure consul will advise that i will just go back when i have already the CR1 schedule.. Since it didnt have good timing w/ our CR1.. Just need lots prayer that NVC will get faster in their processing and not ruin people's life.. Im happy for you Rina i heard from Jayzar that u finally case complete We hope that we can catch with ur interview date..

Wishing and Praying good thing to all of us here waiting ...Hopefully this will be a good Christmas gift to us..

I have included you and others on my prayers

Im happy for you Rina i heard from Jayzar that u finally case complete We hope that we can catch with ur interview date..

No sis, still no good news. You may have misunderstood Jayzar, coz she got her case completed by NVC a couple of days ago. About my case, they are insisting I need to send those documents, the same ones they had lost. I just re-submitted my DS230 electronically to them. Stubborn that I am, I refused and never agreed with them that I will comply with sending them again the documents and wait for that missing checklist in the mail. I'm still on a fight with NVC on that!

Ohh i thought u finally case complete.. Hopefully by Tuesday sis we will hear good news coming from them..

My husband called NVC again the time when i was in Manila and she talked to Liz one of the operator there in NVC.. He said that he made Liz almost cry.. (maybe because he already yelling coz of disappointment) He said that yes NVC doing their Job but they don't know that they ruining people's live by delaying the process of approval and he even asked Liz if she is already married, and how she will feel if she is in our shoes that been waiting too long but until now still apart with our love ones.. He suggested that NVC should make clear instruction so that people will not get confuse and will be guided accordingly in filling up DS23O since some of it is so vague and at the same time he told her why NVC not send all the forms at once and give instruction how much payment they need and will not process until fully pay all. Instead of sending forms one after the other... And he asked also why so far there's no petition got approved in our batch.. and why they are finding little fault so that it will delay the processing..
