Changes to Medical Examination Procedures

Effective November 1, 2009, all medical examinations for immigrant and diversity visa applicants will be delivered to the Consular Section directly by the panel physician’s office. Applicants will no longer be required to bring their medical examinations along with them to the interview. All applicants will need to make their medical examination appointment at least 10 days before their scheduled interview. This will allow time for the examining physician to complete the medical examination and forward the report to us. Please see the updated instructions for medical examinations for more details.
