Yes, because, depending on the results of your medical, we may need your X-rays.

Thank you

Hello,

Am I required to bring my x-ray to my K-1 interview?


* * *

I just thought I would share this. I know a lot of people who have had their interviews say it's ok not to bring your x-ray... but maybe it's a good idea to at least bring to Montreal and leave in your hotel room. If the Consulate needs to see it, you can always go back and get it.

I agree -- with these folks, better safe and bulky than sorry

That makes no sense. An xray can only be read by a technician and unless they have a technician on staff, they can't do anything with it... So freaking weird and inconsistent.

Yes, and the wicket lady in Montreal told me I didn't have to bring in the x-ray even before she had opened the envelope for the medical.

I agree.. doesn't make any sence at all..

Probably just trying to cover their ###.

I remember when I was handing over my papers I asked her if she wanted my xray, and she said:
"No, if there is a problem with your medical then we take your xray"

I was thinking of painting it and framing it and making it into some sort of art.

Hehe, that's cool. But I guess a U.S. doctor might need/want it for their records. My fiance is going to get a kick out of seeing mine when he comes to pick me up:)

Yea thats what the lady said at the consulate. But I have always wanted to paint on an xray lol.

Yes, do keep your x-ray intact as I believe you will need it in the U.S. for the AOS.

Do ask at a hospital for ones they may throw away to play with. Hee hee.

Most hospitals these days put your x-rays on CD so it looks like someone is getting a mini-frisbee for Christmas.

You won't need your xray again if you got it as a K-1. You don't need it for AOS - just proof of the various immunizations you require for your age. What I did with mine was take it to my new family physician who was then able to use it as a baseline for future x-rays.

With how unpredictable MTL can be, I'm bringing my x-ray with me. I found a tube at Staples to put it in, so it's easier to carry around. Better to be safe, than sorry.

I'll be taking my x-ray. I would hate for that to be the reason my visa is held up. Besides, I don't live close enough to Montreal for a quick trip - more like 14 hours one way.

My medical envelope was stapled to the X-Ray envelope.

The Doctors office told me not to remove anything. I didn't. I brought it that way on the plane and to the interview.

Took mine, but left it at the hotel since most VJ folks had said it wasn't needed.

It wasn't.

Had it been...my fiance would have zipped back over to the hotel and grabbed them

And how do they view the x-ray

99.9999% chance you wont require it. Did I bring mine? yes!! Do they have qualified medical staff there, prob not (some consulates throughout the world do have medical staff) but I assume montreal does have hospitals (lol), and the Consulate is probably in contract with some one qualified! But more than likely if something were to come up, it would happen at your medical, and would be dealt with then!! Of course I was overprepared for my intervieew, i had doubles of all my original documents, etc etc Best of luck

They may not look at your medical right at the wicket but they must do a review of it between then and the interview. Probably if there was a problem with the medical when they review it then they woud ask you to produce the x-ray and probably at that point they would have to forward it to their medical advisors for additional review.

aye, but Montreal (at least when I went through) does not want x-rays on CD, it had to be on film.

Roll the x-ray up (no creasing!), put it in a cardboard tube, and take it with you just in case. Because I am the type to be overprepared, I took mine with me. Still have it actually! Better to be safe than sorry, IMHO.

I don't think that MTL has the equipment to look at CD x-rays, after all they still haven't figured out how to use a telephone (whatever that is). The x-ray is done by the panel physician and I don't know of any that use a hospital with CD x-ray records, all of them do the lab work in diagnostic clinics which still use film.

Flames9, you only took two copies of your documents, boy do you like to live on the edge.

I paid for extra originals! Wasn't that much! Then i didn't have to worry about if the accepted photocopies, notorties, etc,lol

I dunno, the panel physician I went to in Halifax specifically told me to tell the X-ray records department NOT to put mine on CD and print it on film. *Dunno*
