My Fiance had her interview today in Bangkok, Thailand and they gave her a form letter which says...

This office regrets to inform you that it is unable to issue a visa to you because you have not been found qualified to receive a visa under section 221(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act which prohibits the issuance of a visa to anyone whose application does not comply with the provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act or regulations issued pursuant thereto. Further consideration will be given to your visa application after you obtain and present the documents listed below (only the marked sections apply to you)

_X_ Medical Exam Results

_X_ Other
NOTE
1. Applicant, your Medical Exam results are insufficient, please submit additional medical records for your
abdominal scars noted on your Medical Exam by the Panel Physician. This is the only information needed to
complete your application.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here is the problem:
Clearly they want to see the medical records about the nature of the surgery. The problem is the surgery was more than 7 years ago. The Thai hospital who did the surgery does not archive records longer than five years, and we can't find the doctor since he no longer works at the hospital.
Any ideas on how to solve this?

I have a scar from surgery on my wrist because an accident almost 15 years ago and the US appointed doctor asked me what caused it and I explained to him. I did not encounter any problem for my medical result. What kind a question the doctor ask her regarding the scar and what's her explanation about that?

Thanks for the reply. This is a mess....

The doctor who did the visa physical noted the scars in her report. (thanks, doc)

All my girl know's is she was in incredible pain and they did emergency surgery on her. What she understood is that the surgery was to take care of an infection.

So the officer asked her about the scars and she mentioned an infection....even thought she is not 100% what really happened.

With no record and no way of contacting the doctor who did the surgery I feel stuck.

I'm sorry to hear that. What about letter of statement from the hospital that they only keep records up to five years? The part that made her in trouble that she wasn't sure what was really happened to her stomach that raised eyebrows of the consular officer who interviewed her. The other way, she can comes back to the doctor who did medical examination and asked what she should do to get report of surgery from almost 7 years ago or go to the other doctor for second opinion regarding undocumented medical result she has had.

It was adnominal scars without a clear explanation for the interviewee. The CO probably suspects she gave birth C-section and is possibly trying to cover up the birth. If you can prove the surgery was anything other than a birth you should be OK.

I hope the original poster read your post since I am the one responded to his thread.

I would possibly try these three things:

1. Get a signed letter from the hospital saying they do not keep records from back when the surgery was performed

2. Get a signed letter from an independent physician explaining that s/he has examined the beneficiary and offering an explanation for the scars consistent with the beneficiary's story

3. Beneficiary should submit a signed letter of her own explanation for the scars

Good luck!

We can only guess as to why the scars raise a red flag.

I would get in touch with the Panel Physician and he can best tell you what exactly needs to be done since there are no records available.

Good Luck.

This sounds very reasonable advice to me.

Infection and emergency surgery for abdominal pain brings to mind appendicitis, which I believe would yield different scars than a C-Section. A letter from a physician stating this sounds useful. Also, I don't know if you can tell from an X-Ray and/or ultrasound whether the appendix is still there, but if it was appendicitis and there is a way to show it was removed, that would strengthen her case.

The K1 journey:                                                                                                                             The AOS journey:

11/09/2013 - I-129F Packet mailed to Dallas Lockbox                                                                                         06/22/2015 - AOS packet mailed to Chicago Lockbox

02/14/2014 - Case shipped to Embassy, where it waited for over a year at my request                                 11/07/2015 - AOS approved (EAD and AP had already been approved) - there was no interview

05/21/2015 - Interview - Approved

06/19/2015 - Wedding (L) 

                                                                                                                                                                      

The ROC journey:                                                                                                                         

10/12/2017 - ROC packet mailed to VSC

01/21/2019 - ROC Approved - there was no interview

 

The N-400 journey:

I had C Secs and my appendic taken out ,C Sec scar is long

while appenendicitis scar is about 2.5 inches on the right.

identifiable by most lay persons and of course doctors. There

are surgeries for acute UTI & a few other things, but I would

have to know the name had that been me
