Medical!! Help!!!

[JFH 12,189]

OP, here is my experience with the medical. I had a brain hemorrhage which lead to a stroke at the age of 22. I have since had 4 TIAs, I have been left with epilepsy due to scar tissue on my brain, very poor vision, and partial paralysis on my right side. I also have some gynae issues in that I had recurrent miscarriage and a very traumatic pregnancy (my only pregnancy that got beyond 6 weeks) that resulted in emergency surgery to save my life. The baby died and I had to have some of my reproductive organs removed also. And I was approved without even a blink. There was no mention of insurance or finances during the medical. I have always worked full-time and unless anyone watched me closely they wouldn't know about the partial paralysis. But it was all declared at the medical.

 

At the medical they are looking for-

 

- TB

- sexually transmitted diseases

- mental health problems that pose a risk to the safety of yourself or others 

- drug and alcohol use

 

 

If any of the above apply to you, you will have a problem. 

 

I read of someone with advanced MS who was confined to a wheelchair who went through this process and the medical was approved. And there's no reason why it shouldn't have been.

Hey

Hey, so sorry to hear about the baby and everything! Hope youre doing okay now. And no I don't have any of the disease listed above! I'm worried basically because sometimes I feel pain in half region of my head lol. Maybe its because of sinus or w.e. and sometimes I feel tingling/pain under my right rib! Not a very severe pain. These things are making me concern though ik these arent not-so-common issues but still. And theres a very small bump under the tip of my left nostril XD do they really care about bumps?

As I wrote above, I'm not under treatment. I'm just doing fine and Its no bothering me. Its maybe on mild stage rn. Should I get it checked before my medical exam? 

It you are concerned,  you should be seen by a doctor which is unrelated to the immigration process. This forum would not be the best place to seek medical advice. Health concerns should be addressed with licensed professionals.

 

Regarding Chronic conditions my husband underwent heart surgery 4 weeks before moving to the US. I talked my my employer to make sure he was added to my health insurance the day we were married and had a cardiologist appointment set up as a follow up a week later, to ensure there were no further issues post surgery. There are no issues with immigrating here with chronic conditions as long as they are not contagious. 

 

The issue will however fall on you/your spouse once in the US to make sure you are insured/or can pay for treatments in case you are requiring treatments for your health condition.

Youre right! I'll not try to panic lol. I just hope I'll pass the exam and interview, inshaAllah! Prayers Needed! ❤ well I was asking about some real chronic illness like arthritis etc. If they find something like this (using this just as an example. ) will they still deny? If you dont know and you tick no ( ×) will they believe you or deny the visa? Just asking. I'm okay now 😍

 

During my medical they did not asked if my husband has health insurance. I got arthritis and high blood. My blood pressure was really high, I told the doctor about it and she told me to take my medicine. The doctor also told me that I can get a good treatment in  the US. My visa was approved during my interview. Don't be scared because like what JFH said
