Immigration Physical

[cgn0030 1]

Hello everyone,

I have a question regarding the immigration physical. I know that I have to get my physical done by one of the USCIS/ US consulate approved physicians. The thing is my interview is coming up soon and I won't be able to travel back to my country where i have the interview until a couple of days before the interview. I was thinking of just doing my physicals here in US from one of the USCIS physicians and bring the sealed envelop to the interview. I don't know if that will pose a problem? In Cameroon the bureaucratic process takes much longer and I may not have my results ready within a couple of days,whereas doing them here, I will get the results within 2 days. Do you think it is okay if I go ahead and use one of the physicians here and just explain to the US consul on the day of the interview?

Thank you!

If the Consulate will allow that, something different, never heard someone doing that.

Ask them.

I mean on the USCIS website it says that for green card applications one can use either USCIS or US Consulate eligible physicians. I emailed the embassy a while ago but nobody responded and I have tried to call without success. Anyway, I will try to call again tomorrow. Thanks for your input, Boiler.

USCIS has nothing to do with this.

I finally spoke with someone at the embassy and you were right, Boiler. They will not accept a physical from here, only from their doctors in Cameroon. I asked them if I could submit the results later, and the consular officer said that i could as long as it was before the end of the fiscal year. Thank you again for taking the time to respond!
