I'm an October filer and I haven't recieved my NOA2 yet but I need to have a chest X-ray done for other medical issues. I'm not too keen on having two X-rays so close together so am I able to use that one for my medical examination? I should be getting NOA2 within two months so it won't be a long wait.

Your medical examination has to be completed by a doctor or surgeon general in Australia which the U.S. government approves. I am not sure if you can do both separately. For vaccinations I know you are able to, but I am not sure about x-rays. If this doctor you are seeing is NOT the approved embassy doctor, it most likely won't be accepted. You can always call the embassy you will be dealing with and ask this question.

Most likely you'll have to do another xray. The US embassy only acknowledge medical results conducted by clinics/hospitals accredited by the US Department of State and CDC.

Call the embassy and ask. Could you wait for you "Chest X-Ray" for other reasons until its time for your medical?

I agree there is not much sense getting exposed to the radiation twice.

Don't worry too much about a chest X-ray. A single chest x-ray exposes the patient to about 0.1 mSv, which is about the radiation dose people are exposed to naturally over the course of about 10 days. Abdominal x-rays have much higher doses.

If there are a few months between the x-rays, it shouldn't be a big risk factor. A 10 hour plane flight gives you about 0.3mSv in comparison.

I second the post above. I would not worry about 2 chest xrays. The amount of radiation isn't anything to worry about. Just make sure they give you an apron to wear around your waist (it would cover your back during the first exposure where you "hug" the board, and your right side when you turn to put your left side against the board for the side view.

When filling in your timeline, please understand that all I-129F's are sent to the LOCKBOX in Texas, and then ROUTED (not transferred) to your ASSIGNED service center- the one in Texas "TSC" (not the same as the lockbox!), or the one in California "CSC". If your tracking number starts with WAC, you're at the CSC, you were not transferred! There are no transfers at this time. If your number starts with SRC you're at the TSC and that's where you will serve your entire sentence.USCIS isn't fair.

They don't care about you.

Want to complain to someone anyway?

Yeah can't really wait to have this X-ray done, have swollen lymph nodes that haven't gone down so my doctor just wants to make sure there's no infection.

I will call them and ask, thanks for your responses!

If I have to have two then I just will, surely it won't be too harmful :)
