How do I arrange the medical exam?
Medical examinations can be done at any hospital designated by the Consulate. Please see our information on medical examinations for additional details. Applicants may choose whichever of these designated hospitals is most convenient for them. Information for each hospital is mentioned on our website Medical Examination: http://mumbai.usconsulate.gov/medical_examination.html.
Prior to the interview, all immigrant visa applicants (regardless of age) must undergo a physical examination by a panel physician designated by the Consulate. Only authorized doctors may complete this examination. Applicants should contact the panel facility directly to make an appointment for the examination after they receive their interview appointment letters. To help the panel physician make as accurate a report as possible, applicant should discuss their medical history and current conditions, such as pregnancy, diabetes, hypertension, or any other conditions, as well as medications taken, with the panel physician. We strongly suggest that applicants take all their old medical records with them for the medical examination, his/her passport, three recent identical passport size photographs and the Appointment Letter to the hospital.
