Is a medical exam required for a US tourist visa interview?
There will be a couple posts from me on this subject sorry in advance. For those of you who find my posts irritating- now is a good time to block me.
Getting ready for my wife to do her US tourist visa embassy interview. I am seeing conflicting information regarding medical exam. Anyone have current and direct experience on this? Required or not? It was NOT mentioned in the information given after the application was submitted and the interview scheduled. I think this is an "immigrant" vs "tourist" visa thing, but I want to be sure.

just an update - yeah they are pretty bad. Either just agency ads or international. I joined about 10. It was a good idea though.Jack ****************
OP@Steve ******
honestly didn't even occur to me- I'll do that. But I bet you dollars to donuts it will just be a sales forum for agencies.Henrik *****
Then you should immediately leave this group, since it is from a agency.

yeah, I'm going to go ahead and block that knucklehead in a minute, but what I meant was the groups are just agents offering services rather than people trying to help each other navigate the system.Steve *******
@Henrik ****
He didn't actually say that. He merely mentioned that most of the posts would most likely be for agents. I'm sure you know the meaning of the word presumption and how it can come back and bite you on the bippy! 😂😂😂Henrik *****
Because he will not use "sales forum for agencies"

Why should the OP leave the group? Your comment is somewhat ambiguousActivity
