Now that you have obtained the various documents required in connection with your immigrant visa application, you should make arrangements for your medical examination. All members of your family who intend to apply for their immigrant visas at this time must have a medical examination. This includes all children, regardless of age. You should arrange to undergo your medical examination at the hospital indicated below. Medical examinations conducted at other hospitals will not be accepted. You must go to the hospital to have your examination earlier than your visa interview appointment date. Each person who is examined must bring four photographs of himself to give to the examining physician. In order to speed up the document checking process when you come to the Consulate for your interview, the panel physician facilities will be checking your materials for completeness and putting the documents in the proper order for interview. At the time of your medical exam, please bring all the documents listed on Form OF-171, Appointment Letter for Immigrant Visa Applicants (K3/K4 applicants please refer to "Letter to K3/K4 Applicants"; V applicants please refer to "Letter to V Applicants"), with you to the designated clinic or hospital. The staff there will help to put these materials in order, and then return them to you in a sealed envelope which is to be opened only by the Consulate staff at the time of interview. Your signature will be required to indicate your participation in the process.
On the date of your final immigrant visa interview appointment, which is specified in the appointment letter you have receive, you must present the completed medical examination forms and your chest X-ray, along with the other documents specified in the Form OF-171, including the sealed envelop prepared by the hospital. Children under 14 years of age do not need to present a chest X-ray unless the examining physician decides that it is necessary. |
