Health medical

[Superman34 0]

I am concerned, I will be going for a medical as part of my VISA application. It seems now that the people completing this require medical records from my GP! I have had a couple of ####### fitsulas over the last few years - although I am not having treatment for anything now. Do you think this may be a problem? I’m worried and just thought I’d see what people think

You might not be allowed to enter or remain in the United States if you:

• have a communicable disease of public health significance
• lack required vaccinations
• have or have had a physical or mental disorder that causes you to engage in behavior that might be harmful to yourself or others, or
• have a history of drug abuse or addiction.

Even if you have never been diagnosed with an alcohol- or drug-related health issue, a record of alcohol- or drug-related arrests (a DUI, for instance) or criminal offenses can result in your being found inadmissible on health grounds.

There are waivers available for all health-related grounds of inadmissibility except drug abuse and addiction.

I don't think you'll have a problem.

From what I know they are not contagious..... the medical is not concerned about thimgs that are not contagious, things that harm like drug use, or significant current mental health issues where the person is a risk to themselves or others...
