how to fill out medical forms?

[J.J. & Diana 0]

First of all, i've seen all the forms online, which ones are the ones that the foreign fiance has to fill out and which ones do the doctors fill out? Also, for any of the yes or no questions regarding drug use and such, i've read on other forums that it's only within the last 3 years, so if it was a long time ago would it still be necessary to answer yes?

would it be wise to call the consulate and ask them how to go about filling it out?

The doctor fills out the medical forms, not the applicant.

raymaga.

Are you sure about that?

There are medical history and biographical items on the forms, having nothing to do with the conduct of the physical examination. My Fiance was advised to have that portion pre-filled. The Doctor even expressed his appreciation, that she was well prepared.

Obviously, the medical examination portion is reserved for the Doctor.

The doctor fills out the medical forms, not the applicant.

As far as we know, only one form is flled out by the applicant. It is one page of yes or no check boxs for former and existing conditons. Also name address, etc. That was all we had to fill out and bring to the interview. it may be diferent for your county though.

right so then, on the boxes for medical history, is it only pertaining to recent history (in the drug use case, past 3 years) or is it for over your entire life?

J.J. & Diana,

Are you referring to Medical form DS-3026?

If so, the question asks if you have been "addicted or abused" said substance (drug). I would be inclined to believe that casual "experimental" use, more than 3 years ago is a check in the "NO" box.

Bear in mind that admission of drug use of any type, within 3 years, is an automatic rejection. Eligible to re-apply after 3 years.

Those are my thoughts also. But after doing a little research, the government defines the word "abused" as using any of the drugs on their lists more than once. Anyways, the point is it wasn't a lot of use and it was a very long time ago, well out of the 3 year range. Should No still be marked?

Well, I cannot tell you what box to check. All I know is what box I would check, to eliminate further questions on the matter.

from experience I can tell you to answer no to drug use--no matter how long ago it was. Unless of course it is on record somewhere. If you say yes--it is a 3 year ban.

Hope that helps.

thanks everyone. So of all the medical forms (i see 4 of them posted on VJ), which one does the fiance fill out and i assume the other 3 are filled out by the doctor?

And then they give you all those sheets to give to the consulate when you go in for your interview?
