Hey Guys,

Me and my fiancée applied for a K1 Visa and I have a few questions regarding the Medical Interview. She lives in Brazil and I don't know if there are any specific medical tests and shots for Brazil. I would like to know what are the required medical exams for the doctor appointment and what are all the required shots. Can my fiancée start all the exams such as pap, x rays, blood test and take them to the visa certified doctor or does she need him to ask for the exams in order to do them? Is it possible to start all of them prior to the certified visa doctor appointment and just take the results with her? If it is, how long are the exams valid for?

We applied for the visa April 19 and She has a medical appointment next Friday, we would like to know if its possible because if so, she may ask the doctor to require everything so she can get everything ready for the future medical visa interview.

Thanks,

Brandon

Only a medical examiner who has been certified by Department of State as a "panel physician" can perform an immigration medical exam. The available panel physicians in your fiancee's country will be listed on the instructions she receives from the consulate. There will usually be only one or two medical facilities that are certified to perform the exam. She can get any specific tests performed in advance, if she wishes to do so to satisfy herself that she'll pass the immigration medical. However, the panel physician will usually not accept the results of any test they didn't perform themselves.

The vaccinations can usually be obtained in advance, as long as the panel physician accepts her vaccination records.

12/15/2009 - K1 Visa Interview - APPROVED!

12/29/2009 - Married in Oakland, CA!

08/18/2010 - AOS Interview - APPROVED!

05/01/2013 - Removal of Conditions - APPROVED!

Hi! I contacted the US Embassy in Rio before and they said that the medical examination as well the police certificates are valid for 1 year, it doesn't matter if on the police certificates it says it is only valid for 90 days, it is valid during 1 year for the embassy purposes. You can take a look at this link to check on the certified embassy doctors: http://www.embaixadaamericana.org.br/pdfs/InstrExmMedMarco2010.pdf

You can contact the doctor to see what shots they require (changes depending on her age, where she lives and so), she is also gonna have to get a blood test from a certain lab or at the doctor's appointment and as well a lungs X-ray.
