Hi guys!
I have a question about X-ray results which i had to do for K-3 visa interview in the embassy.
Now as i have got my visa and flying to the U.S. i dont know whether i will need this x-ray in future, during AOS process or any other immigration related procedures and whether i should take it with me or to leave here.
Would appreciate to hear your comments and responses.
Thanks a lot.

I did DCF and was advised that although not normally required, X-rays may be requested at POE. I took mine but they weren't asked for (as expected).

Hi AW,

I don't know where I heard, saw, or read this, but it seems you are supposed to take your x-rays on your carry-on luggage all the way to the POE. We did just that, and they didn't ask for them at JFK. I still have my husband's x-rays here at home, although if anything happens where he would need chest x-rays, I'm sure they'll do new ones here. I probably could just throw them away now. I would go ahead and carry them with you to be on the safe side. You never know what they might ask for at the POE.

Best Wishes,
Rene

Your supposed to have them in your carry on luggage, but I don't think anyone has been asked for the x-ray, but it's a good idea to have it just in case

Actually, there was someone just the other day who said they asked for her X-ray.........can't remember who it was but I commented on it. Anyway, to the OP, carry the X-ray with you in the carry on luggage and if they ask for it, then you'll be prepared. They never asked for my husband's and it's sitting here on a shelf in the basement about ten feet away from me as I type this! Guess we'll keep it through the AOS process and then chuck it.

Why do you need x-rays?

Bob

Cos you get them when you do your medical, and after you get to the States, you don't really need them, but it's advised to keep them until you've had the AOS, just to be safe, and then can use them for fun art project or something...
I'm not quite sure what I'll do with mine...

Hi, I did DCF and at the end of my process, the lady at the embassy told me not to carry the X-rays as carry-on but just to check it in with my baggage because it will not be needed at the POE.
She said I would only need the visa and the sealed brown envelope.

But then again, I don't know if I would risk that even though I was told this by the American embassy specifically.

What do you guys think I should do? The X-rays are big... I would rather have them in the regular baggage instead of dragging with it all the time. But what if they ask for it? Pfffff...

Bob

I rolled mine up and stuffed it into the carry on along with me socks

They are to show that you do not have TB
