Medical 1/11, just recovering from bad flu (non COVID)

[OfficialGreenT 0]

Good day all,

 

Not sure this post belongs in this subforum but I figured it will get moved if it doesn't.

 

My medical exam is in two days (1/11). I already had my visa interview on 1/4, and per the consular officer visa approval is contingent only on succeful completion of the medical exam. I've been very sick with the flu (symptoms started right after the interview when I got home) and only just recovering. I gather all that will remain by the medical exam date is a persistant cough, a very hoarse voice and general fatigue. I've been PCR tested for COVID-19 twice, both negative. According to my GP I'm no longer contagious.

 

I was wondering if my current state will raise any suspicion at the exam as to my medical condition. I'm otherwise completely healthy, but if I show up with barely a voice and tell them I'm completely fine, wouldn't that raise eyebrows? I'm debating postponing it, but the next available appointment date is weeks out, and I have to get back to the U.S. for family reasons ASAP. On the other hand, if the clinic thinks something must be up with me and wants to do further/extensive testing, that could also take awhile I would presume.

 

Thanks for your advice.

Be prepared to be sent away.  My Brother had 2 negative tests before his positive one.  They will probably ask if you have had any Covid symptoms within the last couple weeks.... which you have, it seems.  Good luck.
