X Rays

[rue2you 0]

My wife finished her medical today with her attending her doctors appointment. No vaccinations were needed for either her or my step daughter. The odd thing is that she was given a small sealed envelope with no x rays. Are you suppose to have your x rays when attending your interview?

The x-rays were used by the doctor to look for evidence of TB, after that they an not needed by the consulate, they may be needed later for adjustment of status.

K-Visas are NON-Immigrant so vaccinations not needed, HOWEVER, they WILL be needed when adjusting status in the USA.

Vaccination Requirements

United States immigration law requires immigrant visa applicants to obtain certain vaccinations prior to the issuance of an immigrant visa. Panel physicians who conduct medical examinations of immigrant visa applicants are required to verify that immigrant visa applicants have met the vaccination requirements. See IV Vaccination Requirements for the list of required vaccinations and additional information.

As a fiancé(e), you are not required to fulfill this requirement at the time of your medical examination for a fiancé(e) visa. However, you may want to do so. These vaccinations are required when you adjust status following your marriage.

K-3 spouse is treated the same as K-1 Fiancee with regard to Vaccinations.

nobody other than a DOCTOR is qualified to read an x-ray... consulate personnel simply would not know what to do with it. All pertinent info is recoded on the medical report

Okay thanks to all.

I will have her get her xrays tomorrow just to have them for when she comes to the US as I am sure they were cheaper to get there than here.

So I guess we are ready to set up our interview date. Costa Rica consulate has been extremely nice and they move quickly!!
