Hey everybody... I was just wondering how old the medical exam can be when we file AOS? Also I was wondering if it is going to be just one session, or will I have to go back another day for test results?

Thanks again

It needs to be less than a year old when you file.

Assuming you have the PPD test for TB (that's the skin test) you will have to go back in 2 days to have it read. If it's negative, then you're done. If it's positive, you have to go for a chest x-ray and however long that takes to be read and cleared.

The main thing is just to give yourself time before you file to get it completed. You will probably have to wait awhile to get an appointment, then some civil surgeons complete the paperwork quickly, but some make you wait. Basically, if you're planning on moving, don't try to do the medical the day before you leave town.

Yes I understand that. In San Diego I could do a walk-in I was told, here in VA i have to make an appointment, but its a very small town so Im sure the wait is not too long. I was just debating whether to get it done here in VA, but the local civil surgeon wants to charge me $260, where in San Diego I can get it (surprisingly) cheaper for $140. The money doesn't really matter, although it would be nice to save where you can. But yea I rather take my time and do it, then doing it last minute.
