What laboratory tests they do in med exam, and what they want to check?

anyone know?

Can it deny visa?

Medical exams are primarily about making sure the fiance has had the required vaccinations (or will get that before AOS in the US), is not bringing a contagious disease into the country, is not a drug user or does not have a mental illness that could put others at risk. There are medical situations that result in denial or that require a waiver.

Dont know what to think. Today my doctor sounded weird and said she did not liked my analyses. Should i worry abuot visa?

I think if you had a communicable disease, a mental disorder or a history of drug abuse, you would know that.

What was the doctor referring to - did she clarify? Did you ask for explanation? Can you call her office and find out? It seems pretty unlikely that whatever she meant was related to your visa!

Nothing like this, my past is like white sheet. She said abuot blood tests and liver, and said she will check more. I will lose mind till i get know.
So I want to know what they check in med exam in blood tests, so i could say my doctor to turn attention to this part and do checking before I go to probably meaningless med exam and visa process.
So what do they check in med exam?

According to 'my' doctor, they check for tuberculosis, HIV, syphillis and other STDs. They basically run the blood tests to check for HIV, syphillis and, in some cases, to determine whether you've taken vaccines that you claim you have but has no records of. They ask for the X-ray to check for tuberculosis.

I don't know about other diseases that would cause a denial, but I know if one's HIV positive, then they're ineligible.

But Ieva, try not to worry. For what it's worth, you're having a check up and should you have any diseases, you'll have the chance to treat them.

This is not strictly correct, as people with HIV require a Visa Waiver to continue with the process.

Well, I guess that's a good thing then.

And all will be well with med exam for visa, all checked
Everything negative, nothing infectios.
Now just new diet and pills.
Thanks for information and support

Good for you, Ieva!
