Does anyone know if we can do the medical exam with an approved physician in Australia and have it sent to the US consulate in Auckland New Zealand?

 

My fiance is living/working in australia right now but weʻre doing everything through the Auckland consulate and we were wondering if he could do the medical exam in australia and have them send it to the Auckland consulate.

That would be very unusual. You can try, but don't be surprised if you get a push back or delay because of this.

You may want to try asking the consulate involved through email (assuming they are like most, not responsive to phone calls). I don't really see a point of why they shouldn't allow it (you are required to take an exam with a certified doctor but never read anything that it had to be the one in country).

Most people don't like to throw the dice when it comes to dealing with visa's and or USCIS. I'm not sure many have tried this.

Worse case scenario would be they demand you retake the exam in country.

If you go through with it make sure you get some sort of instructions on how they want to receive results. Does the examiner need to sent it or are you allowed to hand them a sealed envelope.
