Hello!
I'm getting my application ready for this year and I have seen mixed responses on when I need to submit these two documents, the doctor's health check and the FBI background check.
-
Do I need to submit both or either with the initial application (the Nov 14th deadline)? I can get them done/requested this week but I saw that the mailed results of the background check will take a few weeks? I also have to get a second background check because I lived abroad for 7 years, so I will need to go to another city to that consulate and get that as well.
-
All I need to do for the US background check is go to my local police station with my passport and request it? How long does it take to actually receive the results?
-
For the doctor's approval/report, I was diagnosed with ADHD two years ago with my abroad GP, but have not brought those records back home to the US (I take care of it now without meds). I'd gladly bring those records to the doctor here for them to sign off on it, but is there anything else I need for them to do?
Asking these questions because the last thing I want is to get DQ'd because of a wrong form or anything that could even be loosely considered as fraud due to mismatching of forms or information.
Thank you all so much!
