What If I Fail the Embassy Interview?

[forever_green 0]

Our application is CR-1, and am just waiting for the interview at the embassy, but what if I fail it? Is there an avenue for an appeal? Do we have to go through the process again from the start - i.e. submitting an I-130, etc.? What if the reason for denial is medical, is there a lead time to have that medical condition addressed before another interview? Please help. This upcoming interview is causing me sleepless nights. We are just hoping that there are 2nd chances also.

Thank you.

Copied from USCIS site:

Medical grounds of inadmissibility” is a term used when an applicant has a health condition which is a public health concern to the United States that would render him or her inadmissible to the U.S. Under U.S. immigration laws, the medical grounds of inadmissibility are divided into four categories:

communicable disease of public health significance;

lack of required vaccinations (for immigrant visa applicants only);

physical or mental disorders with harmful behavior; and

drug abuse/drug addiction.

Q : What happens if the civil surgeon finds I have a health condition that is considered a public health concern to the United States?

As a result of the medical exam, the Civil Surgeon may find that you have a health condition that is considered a public health concern to the United States. These medical conditions can make you medically inadmissible or, in other words, barred from admission into the United States. However, you may still be eligible for adjustment of status if you qualify for a medical waiver.

: What is a communicable disease of public health significance?

A “communicable disease of public health significance” is defined in the Health and Human Services (HHS) regulations. According to the HHS regulations, 42 CFR 34.2(B), each of the following diseases qualifies as a “communicable disease of public health significance”:

Chancroid

Gonorrhea

Granuloma inguinale

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection

Leprosy, infectious

Lymphogranuloma venereum

Syphilis, infectious stage

Tuberculosis

If the civil surgeon finds a communicable disease of public health significance, you are inadmissible. Your doctor will recommend a course of treatment. Some medical conditions are not easily treatable. However, you may still qualify for adjustment of status by filing a waiver application.

Medical Waivers

What is a Medical Waiver?

A medical waiver permits an immigration applicant to be allowed into or remain in the despite having a health condition identified as a medical ground of inadmissibility.

p.s.

if you are in doubt and have sleepness nights all you have to do is email NVC and get your MANILA CASE NUMBER THEN BRING PHOTOS, FEE AND GO TO ST. LUKES MEDICAL CLINIC AND HAVE YOUR MEDICAL IN ADVANCE.

They will allow you as long as you have your manila case number. and if there are problems may be corrected before your interview.

just my two cents,

Is there a "reason" why you think you may fail the interview?

No reason at all, but I just want to prepare for any eventuality. I do not know why, but I always feel of impending doom whenever I have a big thing coming ahead.

Griffin, thank you so much for your reply. This helps.

Scars on the lung Xray are the major cause for delays in the Manila Medical. If SLMEC finds scars on the xray they will delay the interview until after sputum test or medication is taken. The interview will be rescheduled after SLMEC is satisfied with the tests or application of meds.

I would suggest taking the medical a month before the interview date. Many in the Philippine regional forum do this.

May I suggest you concentrate your energy on getting through the NVC process first.

Don't panic! It is good to think of all possible outcomes, but don't get over-stressed on them.

If you fail in the interview, you will have the chance to overturn the decision, either with a waiver, or giving them the information they require.

Each case is different.

I would recommend you have all the information as suggested in the guides above ready, and relax....

What will happen will happen....

Most people achieve what their hearts desire if they look it on a POSITIVE perspective.

The more you think about it negatively, the more chance you will fail.
