Chest X-Ray to the interview?

[expeditor 0]

Hi guys, just wondering if I have to take the chest x-ray to the interview? It's not clear from the checklist the embassy provided me (see below). I have to fly to Riyadh from another city and I find it cumbersome to carry it with me.

I brought my X-ray to the interview but is not asked for (that's the consulate in my country, not sure about yours. Check the review for your own country's consulate) The X-ray is yours to keep according to other posters here on VJ. It won't be needed for POE/interview.

Not necessary, the Medical Exam letter will contain the physician's interpretive clinical opinion of the X-ray.

Wait, the hospital didn't give me the medical exam result, I beleive they said they'll send upload the results to the emabassy.All they gave me were the xray and vaccine record sheet.

No you do not need to bring it to the interview. The x-ray is for you to keep, like a souvenir. All your medical records should be sent to the embassy directly from the doctor.

Correct, thanks.

OP: the list given to you by the interviewing embassy/consulate is clear. There are processes done behind the scenes that you are not aware of...try not to overthink this stuff, it can drive you crazy.

BTW, It helps everyone that uses the site. Additionally, it enables other members to more easily formulate a proper response relative to your particular immigration situation.

Enjoy your new souvenir, and good luck on your interview.

No. The Embassy folks are not doctors and can not interpret them. That was done at the medical and those results are part of that sealed envelope.
