Medical for B2 Visa
Hi everyone,
I wondered if anyone has been through the medical exam which I believe is often required after interview if you are ineligible for VWP due to drug cautions. I have an interview soon and am expecting to be sent for a medical but am rather nervous about what it entails. Any information would be greatly appreciated! :) |

You probably want to get hold of an ACPO certificate (hint = Google is your friend) prior to your interview and medical if possible. Ian |

You should have lied, you wouldn't have been caught they don't have access to UK police records you can't get a visa with drug conviction can you?

Re: Medical for B2 Visa
Thanks for the quick reply and the info Ian.
I have already obtained an ACPO certificate and have my interview scheduled for the beginning of July, and after the many hours of trawling forums fully expect to be sent for a medical. Do you know what kind of tests they do at the medical and the procedure of it? Seems it is a very long process to pay for a much regretted mistake in order to attend a family wedding in the U.S this summer. |

Interestingly just read a forum where a guy said he had lied at POE 10 times (!!!) as he didn't realise he was inadmissible on a drug caution and then went for interview and got a visa there and then without any medical or anything. Life is unfair and I guess I won't be so lucky despite my honesty :( |

Probably draw blood and fill a cup full of urine. I got a few people I advise on drug treatment program and they get urine tested for drug use. These guys may want hair analysis as well. The hair anaylsis would show if you have been taking drugs like weed over a long period of time even though your last usage has left your system and isn't in your urine sample.

Wow that's intense. I was under the impression it was just a urine sample and an examination of eyes, nose and mouth (don't know why they do that or what that shows?) Can anyone confirm from experience that it is a blood/hair test also? Thanks a lot guys.

I thought I may have received some credit for being honest and given that this was my first conviction but after having read lots of forums seems like I may have made the wrong choice. Too late now as I have sent them my record :(

Re: Medical for B2 Visa
I know I think it's all absurd personally but doesn't matter what I think! I just really hope the medical is not to invasive (I hate blood lol) and quite straight forward and that they take some mercy on me for my very much regretted mistake. I hope to travel with my fiance who is American and all the family for a family wedding, I wonder if that will help my application? So nervous about the whole process now I really want to know what it entails so I can prepare.

Forum Usage Guidelines - READ BEFORE POSTING! is a good one to start with. Looks like you also need the Immigration Fraud - Just Don't Do It and the site rules: http://britishexpats.com/site-rules/ Considering the content of your previous thread, you are not in a position to be telling people how to lie to gain an immigration benefit. |
