Medical Exam

[cchhat01 14]

Hello All,

My fiancee had her Medical exam recently in Mumbai's Leelavati Hospital in Reclamation (Bandra).

I am not so clear as to what they have given her.

This is because I'm under the impression that the report is meant to be opened by the US Embassy and not before. Am I wrong?

Can she look at her medical report and all its contents?

The reason I am asking this question is because a few months down the line, we will need to file for her AOS and we plan on using the medical report as proof that she has necessary vaccinations etc that are required for AOS (as opposed to spending money at the civil surgeon).

Please let me know.

Thanks,

Chigs

She is not to open the contents of her medical. She will give it to the consulate when she has her interview. When her visa is returned she will be given another envelope to give the officers at her POE. Her medical will be opened by them and forwarded on to USCIS and will be there for when she does her AOS. She must not open anything. Along with my medical there was a vaccination paper for my records, I'm not sure if every country does that or not. This was for me to send in with my AOS. Her medical is good for one year....I hope that clarified your questions.

Lol... Unless you're a document, you shouldn't be sealed... sorry I am a grammar nitpick.

But yes, I am trying to get an answer for the same question as yours...

Ours is still sealed, which is why I am asking the question before proceeding to open, thinking that people who have been through the process know whether or not its meant to be opened.

So this basically leaves us with no other choice but to call Leelavati hospital and ask whether or not they included a vaccination report within Medical Report as well.

Thanks JeannieL.

no worries.. english is not my first language.. i speak French............... in Russian

do they give a certain number or do you request a number of sealed copies?

My vaccination sheet was not in the sealed envelope. It came stapled to the outside of the envelope with a note on it "For your records" ....Again, don't open the sealed envelope :-)

She is not to open the envelope at all. As stated she will be given another sealed envelope at interview which she will carry with her to the US and hand over at POE. I am sure at interview they will give her a copy of vaccination supplement. Leave things alone and don't open anything .

She may ask the hospital for a copy of her vaccination record.

Understood.

She may ask the hospital for a copy of her vaccination record.

That's what we will be doing, calling Leelavati Hospital in the morning to see if they can send a copy via email/fax/snailmail.

Thanks all for clearing it up that the medical report is NOT TO BE OPENED

The medical packet we got in London in the sealed envelope is a computer disk!

Not your medical file. It's the copy of your x-ray.You can open that. It's your souvenir because Knightsbridge could just throw it away or pass it on to you in case you ever want to know what your lungs looked like in 2011. The medical file is four pieces of paper that will be in the white envelope delivered with the passport, along with the petition and visa files. Medical files have to have a "chain of custody" so the applicant can't tamper with the results. If it is in the applicant's possession, it has to remain sealed until it is passed off to officials.

Oh okay! Yes the sealed envelopes received with the passports have remained sealed.
