K-1 Medical

I have my medical coming up on friday and was wondering is it possible to fail this?? Would that then be the visa rejected?

The medical is a tool used by the interviewer to determine visa eligibility.

You can't *fail*, but it can bring to the surface issues that might mean you can't get your visa (such as drug abuse, mental health issues where you are determined to be a danger to yourself or others).

You can search for the specific medical reasons for visa ineligibility on VJ (I'm on my phone - too fiddly).

Most times, if something is found out of sorts (dark patch on chest xray, for example) then a treatment plan may be available or further tests to clarify what's going on.

If you feel you have a medical condition that concerns you in regards to eligibility, and don't mind sharing, we can probably put your mind at ease / tell you what to anticipate.

The short answer is yes. You can be denied a visa for medical reasons. Have a look here.

Like the above poster said though there are lots of variables with lots of possible outcomes.

This thread may be of interest to you. As you'll read, most UK folks do just fine in their medical.
