Re: Question re mental health and B2 visa
Ian no doctor is obliged to give a note for anything it is at their discretion.
Reason doctors have to be wary as was reported in our journal last month a GP in Wales gave a letter supporting a schizophrenic to visit Australia who went there and stabbed someone. He has been suspended pending a full investigation. Sorry Ian not nonsense this is reality.

Re: Question re mental health and B2 visa
Are you using the term "immigration interview" in its most general sense, in which case 'visa interview' might have been more appropriate? The OP is applying for a B-2 visa.

Re: Question re mental health and B2 visa
dorothy if you are in the medical field have a look at the guidance issued by the AMC for these kinds of letters where you are.... it will be very similar to the UK, essentially if you write something it carries weight hence thats why they are asked for but on the flip side due to the weight they carry if you write something and it goes pear shaped then you will be the fall guy. thats why the GP in Wales has probably had his career significantly curtailed by that letter.
