Rating: | Review Topic: Medical Appointment
My medical was very underwhelming. In fact, I would scarcely call it a medical. There was no request for blood or urine samples. Neither did they ask to weigh or measure me. (They did ask for my weight and height, but I insisted THEY did the measurements!) I had a quick chest x-ray to check for tuberculosis. Afterwards, I had an interview with one of the doctors. He quizzed me on my GP medical record as well as the questionnaire I had filled out. He picked me up on an incident of work related stress I had at work twenty years ago. He seemed happy enough when I told him the problem had been resolved by leaving the job.
The medical ended with a discussion about vaccinations. Unfortunately, my GP records did not the ones I had as a child. Visa Medicals offered to provide the missing vaccines for an extra £250. I declined as I felt I had given them enough money already. It important to note K-1 visas can be granted without all vaccinations, but you will need proof of being up to date before you apply to adjust your status to be a permanent. Visa Medicals will give you a leaflet explaining the rules and what vaccines you require.
