Question-

[WHITE COW 0]

Hello All,

forgive me if I am posting in wrong area but...

We've jump thru many hoops and hurdles and now its time for my finance to get his medical. But he and I have a concern. In late 2006 my foreign fiance was hosipitalized for a blood clot in his leg. He has been successfully treated but now takes a blood thinner as a procaution.

Would this condition be something we should worry about on passing the medical? What are the chances they will deny us based on "public charge"?

He has been working and is in fine shape. I make well over the poverty guideline and have decent (well that might be pushing it) ok insurance.

I haven't been able to sleep at night ever since we started thinking about this. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks-White Cow

The best thing to do is take all the documents related and tell the examiner exactly how it is. It should not be a problem seeing that it isn't a serious condition and contagious either. All the best!

I agree with DanielParul. You won't be denied because of blood clots, but bringing the paperwork will save time if the examiner has any questions. The purpose of the medical exam is to make sure the immigrant isn't a threat to the health of the public, in other words they do not have a serious infectious disease. Don't worry!

Thank you both for answering.... You have put our minds a bit at ease but its always nerve wracking until its over (and approved with flying colors) We have just come so far and are so close. Its sometimes hard to trust.... :-)

If anyone else has experienced going to a medical with any kind of condition could you let me know your experiences. Or if anyone could point out where on this site where other people sweating the medical go to flock could you please direct me.

Meanwhile I will order ;-) my love to make appointment with his dr and try and get all history to support he is as healthy as an ox.

Thanks again.
