Hers my crazy idea- could you do the medical abroad and have the results sent to your GP in your home country? Then the GP could fill out the medical forms and it would be like the tests were done in your home country.
To get the visa, you could work with a visa agent and send them your passport while you are abroad, thus taking a chance by not having your passport with you while you are in a foreign country. |
I couldn't mess with it, and I don't think any doctors would agree in the US to do it. Here in Thailand easily.
At this point I'm going to fly there for the medical and local criminal background check, be there a week, and then fly back and stay in my condo here to save money and not be bored while I wait for the visa to process.
I'm going to ship my passport and have it processed and shipped back to me. |

You can't be certain you'll receive the lab test results, criminal background report, and your university documents all within a week. |

That's true.
I can set up a lot of them online such as transcripts, and then have them sent to my family.
The local background check I did before for Korea back when that was the requirement and not the FBI one and I think that took about five days.
I'm not sure how long the lab test results will take or if someone could pick those up for me. |

No one can pick up your lab test results; you'll need those reports for your physical exam. The doctor has to review each one, address any health issues or positive test results in writing on the Saudi medical report and then sign off on it in triplicate.
I suggest you take a look at "Low-cost US med tests & exam for employment visa" (http://forums.eslcafe.com/job/viewtopic.php?t=95008). |

I checked out your process and it was at a lot of different locations. It doesn't have to be at one doctor then? How does it work on the medical forms? Do you have a bunch of them signed by different doctors. |

Ad Hominem attacks are uncalled for, fella. i didn't attack you, but merely stated an opinion contrary to yours. Opinions contrary to yours are still allowed, aren't they?
Many people see what you are trying to do and it's destined for failure.
Your pity I do not require, so don't offer it again.
Time will tell whether your child-like maneuvers around a well-established protocol will work. I, for one, will wager it won't. |

Please go away and leave this thread. You still have my pity. |

No, there's only one physician involved as far as the Saudi medical report form is concerned. I suggest you read that entire thread. |
