I need some help here my friends. My Fiancee has a friend that just had her medical. A went well until she told the Dr. that she had an abortion. Now they want to send her to a Psychiatrist. She has dealt with the fact that she did what she had to do and moved on. She is scared that they might not give her the visa. Can this keep her from getting her k-1??? We really need to tell her??

Thanks so much for your advise?

DaveandFleur,

I think your friend will fall on this category: Physical and Mental Disorder With associated Harmful Behavior. This category requires EVALUATION. Panel Physician will determine if the applicant have:

a. a physical or mental disorder with associated harmful behavior; or

b. a history of a physical or mental disorder with associated harmful behavior such that the same or a different harmful behavior is likely to occur in the future.

Harmful behavior- for purposes of this examination, a dangerous action or series of actions by the alien that has resulted in injury (psychological or physical) to the alien or another person, or that has threatened the health or safety of the alien or another person, or that has resulted in property damage. In your friend's case-> abortions-> caused injury/death to t

he fetus/baby.

Physical Disorder - will depend on the Manual of International Classification of Diseases, Injuries, and Causes of Death evaluation of her (ICD-9 or subsequet revision).

Mental Disorder - will depend on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders evaluation of her (DSM-III-R or subsequent revision).

Required evaluation is necessary (Psychiatrist). I will not elaborate on how they do evaluations. But for reporting results of the evaluation: She will be categorized as Class A or B. Better to be placed on Category B (with History and.... not likely to recur/unlikely to recur, etc...).

A clearance from the Psychiatrist that condition is unlikely to recur is necessary for the Panel Physician to complete their medical exam and forward their results to USEM for the interview.

Hope this info helps.

[/color]Hi! guys,

I planned to have my early medical this 10-11th of April. I dont have my packet 4 yet. the person my fiance talked to said it was sent already last 14th of this month but i dont have it yet.

Im goin to manila on the 5th of April to see my fiance and would be staying there after my medical exam is done.

In case i wont be getting my packet 4 yet next week, can i still go and have my medical exam without the appointment letter? if yes, what documents should i bring in place of the appointment letter? i have my ID pictures and passport already. only the appointment letter is my problem.

thanks in advance for your promt answers.

Im May batch too, and like you im waiting for the packet 4 to arrived. I want to have an early medical appointment just like you. But then Im also confused it its ok if u dont have that pre-appointment letter but as i see, we need it in order to have our medical, its a requirement together with pictures and passport. When i called St Lukes, she told me as long as u have that appointment letter, need to be photocopied u can have your medical early of your schedule, for it is first come, first serve basis. Hope we get this letter anytime soon. I really want to have my medical too asap so i'll be at ease, lol!

Hi joemaria,

If you have the medical exam and interview sked already and want to take the med exam ahead of schedule, but don't have Packet 4 (with the required appointment letter) yet ... you can call St. Luke's and request them to get your Packet 4 from the embassy, and inform them of the date you want to pick it up. They do that. One day before your requested date, better to call St. Luke's to confirm if your Packet is there.

If they confirm your packet is there, you can just then tell the guard that you're there to pick up your Packet and they will let you in. And you can actually start on your medical the same day.

Good luck!

Gen

Wow thanks Gen, when I called at St Lukes she didnt tell me that...thanks i'll do that!

I called St. luke this morning.

I asked about my query here. The person i talked to said it's fine to take an early medical without the appointment letter from the embassy as long as you have your interview date and the rest of the requirements (passport and photos). Now, i can breathe.

Thanks everyone for your replies.

That would be fun to meet up. We would like to get her medical done early if possible...depending on whether Mirasol gets her appointment letter in time....but for sure the date of the interview.
