US Embasssy immigration interviews

suehp · May 5, 2005

Been for the medicals today in Birmingham. It all went smoothly and was well organised. Took 4 hours but there were 4 of us and it was expensive for the imms that we needed £215 , but expected.
The Dr was very pleasant and had a good sense of humour. They will either post it al to us before we go to London next friday or they will send it direct.
I will let you know how the next stage goes too.:)

Hi What did they do - I believe they take an x-ray and take bloods - do they tell you the outcome of everything before you leave??? What did they do to the children???

good luck with your next stage - we arent that far behind you now...

They did height weight BP, BMI, Checked immunisation history and all PMH. Full clinical examination. Blood for HIV and Syphllis results take a few days to come back. CXR for TB.

Children same as above except they don't need the CXR and bloods if under 14yrs.

You get a pack with all the details sealed sent to you to take to the embassy or they post it direct if not sufficient time.

I needed MMR, Husband MMR and Diptet. Children Hep B.

Do they contact your GP for a PMH or do you just provide the info yourself?

Thanks,

Hiya thanks for all the info! My medical is this week and i hope the children are all up-to-date, they have had Hepb vaccine at my GP all others should be fine. The Drs/Medicals are just looking for HIV & TB- what about pre-existing conditions ie Diabetes, Hypertension, etc? Are you taking your children for the interview in London? :rolleyes:

They are worried about diseases that can be passed along.......HTN and Diabetes cannot be tranmitted to someone..........

Do kids have to have three Hep B vac? Did your GP charge you for giving it to your kids?

I am to old to have had the MMR vaccination but I have had all the illnesses :uhoh21: do I have to have titres to prove this?

What if your BMI is too high?

Hi, my kids have had all three hep b injections - dont think they need it for the embassy (but could be wrong there) but they do have to had at least one hep b to go to school i.e. at least started the course of 3...my GP didnt charge luckily :rotfl:

I didnt have the MMR either and have had Rubella & Measles...but to be on the safe side had titres done to prove it - just need to get the GP to do me a print out or a letter now to confirm..I havent long had theses done and it turns out I needed a booster for Hep b myself...got that checked and will need another one in 5 years...

I am hoping that the BMI bears no prblems :uhoh3:

I have ITP and from what I can gather from others existing illnesses like that arent a problem as long as it isnt contagieous - it just means your medicla insurance may be higher :crying2:
