Thank you!! I really think so. The doctor was clearly uneasy when we were talking about my past, but when I showed him the letters his demeanor changed and while reading them he said things like “very good” or “oh yes that’s great” several times.

An update to my original post. I had the medical in January and it went okay, the doctor was alarmed by my past history of self harm but he was reassured by the letters of my general practitioner and my past psychologist. I had the interview yesterday and my CR1 was approved with no issues!

Okay, thank you! He just went over my medical history, took my vitals and did some coordination tests. He did say that my past history of self harm was a serious matter and that the officer would definitely be alarmed but that he would try to paint it positively because I’m doing very well now and that the documents I have (letters from GP + ex psychologist) are really good, to bring them to the interview. Hopefully my visa will be approved.

Is the doctor the one that asks for a mental health evaluation or could it also be the officer at the consulate? I’m asking this because I went did the medical and because of my past history of mental health I was expecting to have a request for a mental health evaluation from the doctor, but he didn’t ask for it. So could this happen later on at the interview or not? thanks for answering

Hello, My husband and I filed last year for a spouse visa via consular processing, he’s a US citizen and I’m a French citizen. I need help understanding how I should prepare for the medical exam. I have a past history of self harm with some psychiatric hospitalization from when I was a teenager, I have some scars and a permanent disability (paraplegia) because of it, so I know that I will have to talk about it a lot with the doctor. It happened 5 years ago and nothing else happened after. The thing is that I’m not diagnosed with a mental illness and I have no psychiatrist or medication anymore since years. We’ve actually realized that the main reason of all my issues in the past was actually the medication they were giving me, they considerably worsened my reaction to the very difficult situation I was going through. So I know that it’s really not likely to reoccur and that I don’t have any issue anymore, the psychiatrist told me that I don’t need any follow up years ago. But what would be the best way for me to prove this to the doctor? What documents should I bring?
