US Interview and medical examination

[KOI 44]

Hello,

I would like to ask about peoples medical exam experiences. I had done a medical exam once before in Dubai, at that time they accepted all my medical certificates. I had done all the vaccines that time.

This time around, at a different location, the medical centre is giving problems. They are saying because my medical records on some vaccinations only have MM/YYYY and not the specific date, its invalid. I just received these a couple years ago and they are supposed to be boosted every ten years. Yet, they say I have to get them again.

 

The medical centre also says that they cant submit to embassy without good reason. They also say that each embassy has their own requirements, which is why Dubai may have accepted it (Load of baloney if you ask me..)

We tried telling them that good reason is because I already got the vaccines and the specific day doesn't actually matter; yet they refuse to submit the medical documents.

 

Has anyone encountered this issue? Is there any documentation anywhere online that states we MUST have the date for US Embassy interview (or stating that it doesn't matter). We inquired to US Embassy in our location and, despite the fact that they say they will respond to inquiries within two business days, two weeks later they haven't done so.

 

btw ignore profile of K1 visa, I dont know how to now add a second timeline hat we are applying for the Spouse visa. This is for Spouse visa not K1. Thanks

Their argument does not make sense to me either.

I would bet they just want to make more money.

 

All the medical records eventually end up in the embassy's database which I would bet is the same used by all embassies.

 

Do some research and find out if there is an adverse effect of retaking the vaccinations earlier than supposed to.

Besides that not sure what other suggestions for you.

You could also do titer tests to verify your immunity.

Are you saying you did the previous immigrant visa medical? Did you keep the vaccination worksheet from that (example here  )? That should be acceptable proof to another panel doctor.

Do you mean to be able to schedule the medical? Almost all panel doctors work this way. London is the only doctor I’m aware of that doesn’t (or didn’t, maybe they changed) and unsurprisingly also the only one where people used to complain their medical had expired  or nearly expired by the time their interview rolled around. Or that you could do the medical anyway and they won’t submit to the embassy without an interview date? If the latter, again that is usual. If they are saying the embassy won’t accept it without an interview date, then that sounds legit from what I have heard about interviews in general.

 

you say the previous country was Dubai, where are you interviewing /doing the medical now?
