IMMIGRANT VISA MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS Before the issuance of an
immigrant visa, every applicant, regardless of age, must undergo a medical examination. The
examination will be conducted by a doctor or clinic designated by
the U.S. Embassy Jakarta. The applicant must pay any examination
costs, and these costs are in addition to the visa fees. This
immigrant visa unit will provide information regarding the clinics
approved by the Health Service of the
The Embassy will give
the immigrant visa applicant the list of panel physicians where the
medical examination can be done
before the interview.
The United
States
immigration law requires immigrant visa
applicants to obtain certain vaccinations
(listed below) prior to the issuance of an immigrant visa. The
physicians who conduct medical examinations of immigrant visa
applicants are required to verify that you have met the vaccination
requirement, or that it is medically inappropriate for you to
receive one or more of the listed vaccinations:
In order to assist the
physician and avoid delays in the processing of your immigrant visa,
you should have the vaccination records of all family members
applying for immigration available at the time of the medical
examination. Waivers of the vaccination requirements are available
only upon recommendation of the examining physician. Only the
physician can determine which of the listed vaccinations are
medically appropriate for you, given your age, medical history and
current medical conditions.
If you have firmly held religious or moral beliefs that do
not permit vaccinations, you may still be eligible for adjustment of
status. You will need to apply for a waiver of vaccination
requirements.
