Medical examination for immigrants and K visa applicants

ALL immigrant visa and K visa applicants, regardless of age, must have a medical exam. It can be done only in Kyiv at the following address:

Clinic for Oil-Refining Industry of Ukraine
8, Mykoly Amosova St.
Kyiv, Ukraine
Telephone: 044-270-2709, 044-275-4181

Appointments, Fees, Document Requirements

The Clinic performs medical examinations each working day (Monday through Friday), between 9:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. by appointment only. The results of the examination are given to the applicants at 3 p.m. on the same day.

The fee for a medical exam is no more then $125 per person, excluding the vaccination fee for adults and children. The clinic accepts payments for medical exam in US dollars only, but vaccination fee must be paid in Ukrainian hryvnyas only.

Each applicant must present the following documentation:

• Passport or other photo-bearing document as ID (both for children and adults)
• 3 full frontal view photographs 50 x 50 mm
• Military service card
• Vaccination chart with the seal of the issuing clinic (mandatory for immigrants, optional for K visa applicants)
• Embassy case number beginning with KEV

Important information Effective Monday, January 01, 2009 the medical examination fee for US-bound immigrants and fiancee visa applicants will be increased. Applicants 15 y.o. and older will now pay 125 USD for their medical exam. Applicants under 14 y.o. will now be charged 90 USD for their medical exam. The cost of medical exam for the newly adopted children of US citizens is now 90 USD. These are the basic fees for medical examination. Should examinees require additional tests performed/ vaccination administered, they will be charged for these tests/vaccinations separately.

Recent changes to US immigration law now require immigrant visa applicants to obtain certain vaccinations (listed below) prior to the issuance of an immigrant visa. Panel physicians who conduct medical examinations on behalf of immigrant visa applicants are now required to verify that immigrant visa applicants have met the new vaccination requirements, or that it is medically inappropriate for the visa applicant to receive one or more of the listed vaccinations:

mumps	tetanus	influenzae type B (HIB)	influenza
measles	diphtheria	hepatitis B
rubella	toxoids	varicella
polio	pertussis	pneumococcal

In order to assist the panel physician and to avoid delays in the processing of an immigrant visa, all immigrant visa applicants should have their vaccination records available for the panel physician’s review at the time of the immigrant medical examination. Visa applicants should consult with their regular health care provider to obtain a copy of their immunization record, if one is available. If you do not have a vaccination record, the panel physician will work with you to determine which vaccinations you may need to meet the requirement. Certain waivers of the vaccination requirement are available upon the recommendation of the panel physician.

Only a physician can determine which of the listed vaccinations are medically appropriate for you, given your age, medical history, and current medical condition.

The validity of the medical examination is one year. If there is tuberculosis condition, the medical exam is only valid for six months, instead of 12 months.
