I had the exam done in London as part of the K1 Visa process. Basically they'll ask you to fill in a survey about your medical history. They'll then check your immunization history and for a fee give you any shots or boosters you may not have had. Then the Doctor will check your breathing, check your reflex, take a sample of blood and check "downstairs" for obvious signs of any STDs (guys have to undergo the cough test, not sure what they do for girls). Finally, they'll take an x-ray of your chest. They'll send all this to the Embassy within a week provided there is nothing unusual in the blood test or chest x-ray. Typically the medical examiners don't contact you further unless something is revealed through your exam.

My first wife did, but, NAS Atlanta stepped in and told INS they would handle the exam. We had our stuff in 48 hrs, saving a few other tests that take longer. INS was pretty steamed, too... Poor suits.

at first, they might desire to enforce the guidelines already on the books and then make modifications to convey the guidelines up as much as now with modern-day desires of immigrants and US electorate. The rules ought to extra clever address the might desire to permit the poorer people - no longer basically the rich and/or expert sectors of people, the ability to go into the rustic legally to extra healthy the employment desires of farms, shape, provider marketplace, etc. at present, seal up the borders. Penalize employers to the optimum quantity of the regulation who hire undocumented immigrants.

My Niece's husband had to take one. They did blood work, checked for diseases and drugs, and regular examination(ears,eyes,nose,throat,etc.) and after charging him $300 for the exam- the immigration services denied his application.

Good question! This is exactly the reason why we should not give illegal aliens amnesty!
I am not sure what is needed, but I know that they want only the people who are healthy here in these United States.

My brother's fiance, she was appointed to the consulate in Juarez Mexico. There you just go in and out and you get the results that same day.

jungleboy is correct. You don't get the results. They are sent directly to the embassy or consulate.
