Is this a disqualifying medical condition?

[darkhorse]

I'm suffering from Jaundice and Viral Hepatitis. Are they in any way disqualifying medical conditions?
P.S. Tazmania, your inputs are welcome on this one.

And one more question. Roughly how long does it take for whole of the medical test; from the test to when the results are out. If my date is June 9th, when should I begin my medical process?

for me they took 9 days to handover the medical results.

The Medical test:
They will only test you for HIV and Syphilis. They then ask you if had any other serious infections.....so just answer no. You be very safe. Don't lose hope you will make it. Just go for it with Confidence.

My medical was a joke. I basically paid 300 euro for a blood test. It took no time, I was in and out in 15 minutes. (extra time was needed for the xray too though)
You worry too much! always with the worry, worry worry worry!
I will sleep easier when I know you have DV visa in your hand and are finally on your way over to the USA not long to wait now .....................

I found this on another website in reply to someone asking if his wife's Hep B is ground for disqualification:

"What are “medical grounds of inadmissibility”?
“Medical grounds of inadmissibility” is a term used when an applicant has a health condition which is a public health concern to the United States. Under the U.S. immigration laws, the medical grounds of inadmissibility are divided into four categories:

* communicable disease of public health significance;
* lack of required vaccinations (for immigrant visa applicants only);
* physical or mental disorders with harmful behavior; and
* drug abuse/drug addiction.

What is a communicable disease of public health significance?
A “communicable disease of public health significance” is defined in the HHS regulations that cover the required medical exam for immigration purposes and includes the following 9 infectious medical conditions:

* severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)
* tuberculosis (TB)
* leprosy
* human immunodeficiency virus (HIV/AIDS)
* syphilis (infectious state)
* chancroid (STD, similar to syphilis and herpes)
* gonorrhea
* granuloma inguinale (STD, donovanosis)
* lymphogranuloma (STD, chlamydia)"

No Hep. You're good, but I wouldn't mention it in an interview.

Make sure you get treated now so that the jaundice disappears.

when I received my medical results today I read in it that we (me and my husband) should receive vaccination - parotit and my boy should receive -haemophilus influenzae
I'm worried if we don't make to receive them until the interview.we are short with time .
is that going to be a problem for the interview or we can arrange that after
