Hey Gagan, weren't you wondering what came to you? without any attachment

See my reply above - I got the medical request form - is that what it was?

Now, don't take my comments on face value BUT a user on trackit site got the above document even though his mother did medicals in India

Did you request such forms for medicals IF your mother was in USA?
Are they assuming she is in USA and would require to use these forms
OR
Are they asking people to do meds with these new forms since it all changed after Nov, 2012

Rajaji - what is your call

i never requested any forms i never fill her current country of residence usa.i send im0008 with current country of residence india so i sent then 2 enquiry to delhi eaxh time they reply please await for contact if we need any thing this time we will get in touch with applicant

 

[user828]

So then it must be a mistake from them

 

[RajaJi]

For Medicals now there is
One Standard Form 1017 for all applicants (provided by CIC to applicant with IME#) and
1017B is for Upfront Medical Exams (spousal sponsorship, Refugee etc. provided by PP with UMI#)

Hey All.. We got our medicals done on 28th january'2013 that is 2 days back.. However, yesterday they called us and asked my mom to appear for the sputum smear and culture test for 3 days.. The doctor said she has a spot on her chest, so need to undergo this test :/..Anyways, I was going through few topics on the forum and it says the result takes around 8-9 weeks? Is that true? When does the regional office receive the medicals after the medicals have been sent to Islamabad?

 

[hira.n]

One more queestion .. I have seen many cases when they inquire the applicant to go for additional medical request after 2 months? Why is that so?.. Like the IMO before sending the medical tests to Islamabad asked for the Sputum test a day after our medical was done.. Whereas , i have seen cases when they ask about sputum test after 2 months when the medical was orignally done! A bit confused :-\.. Would really appreciate , if someone could clear my confusions :S.. Thanks in advance..

Regarding your 2 posts:

Some PP do what is the minimum required tests and send the results to CIC within a day or two. When CIC doctors see the reports, they may ask for further tests to be done. This turn-around takes about 2 months. Further more, most of the time, the "further tests" involve testing for active TB (this is found out by undergoing sputum tests). Sputum tests take about a month to complete (not very sure), as they need to take sample of sputum (first step), culture the bacteria and then compare it with a new sample of sputum (second step). Some PP proactively inform us about the spots in the xray (which most of the time is just normal anamoly but in rare cases could indicate active TB). The PP then takes the first step of taking the sputum test. In the meantime, they send the report to CIC. If CIC then gets back for further tests, you would have saved quite some time - as the results would already have been confirmed by then.

In short, do not worry if the doctor asks for further tests, just ensure they send the medical report within the time specified - you also ensure that the doctors provide you a copy of the Section A (filled by doctor).

Shouldn't take more than a week. Why don't you submit whatever information they are asking using the online form? At least, there is a record that you did respond, secondly it gets attached directly to your file rather than the need for CIC to manually sort the physical documents to respective files. But this is just my opinion.

They expect you to respond within a day? Hope they expect the same of themselves and respond as quickly when applicants have a query or concern.

For those who's parents have visited US ( frequently ) but less than six months, was anyone asked FBI? I am asking since my father has 17 trips since 1980, I have hos FBI clearance but will expire within 45 days

Should I send it proactively, or wait if they ask?

You mean case specific?

So I should scan and send it through it? and then mail passports with the same documents

Is this OK, I mean I thought it was only for inquiries, will it accept all the scanned docs?

Thanks Sakamath.. Ohh in our case we got the medical request on 3rd january and got it done on 28th january'2013.. After a day only the clinic called for test of sputuum smear and culture(I guess IMO has the authority to conduct Sputuum , if they see a spot or infection) so they asked my mom too undergo this test for 3 days.. Pakistan does not have a desginated list of doctors but instead there is a proper Clinic called IMO , which conducts medical test for few contries UK,Ausrtailia , Canada, etc. We have to go there and get our medicals done.. Also the IMO doesnot provide us with a copy :/.. They just give us a receipt that medical has been done , thats it..

I would rather wait till they ask for it

Yes, case specific. If CIC is asking for any "information" (not documents) - I guess in your case it was local address?, then its better to use the online form. However, if they ask for documents like certificates or PCC, then we have no option but to mail it.
Regarding "scanned documents", if they pertain to the ones' you already sent but CIC is asking for it again (like guramrit's medical documents), then such scanned documents can be sent via the online form - provided you also attach a covering letter signed by the PA explaining the issue and the documents.
