Hi all, I have my medical exam on January 28th, and I was wondering if anyone could give me some information on that. I read everything I have to bring to the exam, and the forms that I'll have to fill in. However, I read that women had to get a gynecological exam, but I dont see that in the forms I dowloaded from this website. Also do they test urine and blood, or just one of them? And what do they test for? Im healthy, and dont take any drugs, so I think I'll be ok. Im just getting nervous because the date is so close!!

Thanks!

Hi! If the exam is the same as for k1 holders, you don't need to fill out any form. Just make sure you bring all your vaccines records and the doc will be the one filling out the right form. On the first visit he'll send you to have a chest x ray taken (cheap way to check for TB) and a blood test (just checking for stds, only Sifilis if I can recall correctly). On the second visit he does a basic physical exam and hands you an envelope with the results. No gynecological exam, no urine... You've been reading way too much VJ! Lol

Nothing weird, relax. If you're going to see Dr. Kelly, he's great!

Thanks guys! Thats just what I needed. Its for the IR-1 / CR-1 Visa, but the doctors are the same: Grillo and Kelly. I picked Dr. Grillo, and she sounded friendly too, so I hope it all goes well.

You are right though... I should totally stop reading every post on VJ =D

Hey! I had the interview today, and Dr. Cricket is great! :thumbs: I had the appointment at 8am, and she sent me to have a chest x-ray taken, and a blood test. The place where you do this is right around the corner, and its called Trinidad Medical Center.

The "second interview" was at 12pm, and there I had a clinical exam. Everything was fast, and the doctor is really nice. They check your weight and height, and your vision. They ask you if you have any addictions, if you had surgery, and those rutine questions. The weirdest thing is that you have to show the dr. your genitals... which is not really comfortable.

Take 1 picture, your vaccinations, and all in all it cost me $400ARG. Let me know if I you need anything else! Good luck!!! :dance:
