| I don't understand why you would want to do this. Are you leaving one job in KSA and coming back to a different em,loyer ? |

The embassy requires print outs of the lab tests from a lab in the USA. The Chest x-rays you don't need to show them. |

Yes.
Plumpy where have you read that the lab results must be from a lab in the USA? |

Do your lab tests in the US at a medical clinic or licensed lab. The American doctor who conducts your physical exam and signs the medical report needs to be able to 1) analyze the lab results; 2) contact the lab if there are questions or discrepancies; and 3) confirm testing was done by an accredited lab or med facility. As such, foreign lab reports won't be accepted.
Having your lab tests done in the US doesn't have to be pricey, if that's what you're concerned about. See "Low-cost US med tests & exam for employment visa" http://forums.eslcafe.com/job/viewtopic.php?t=95008 |

| The physician has to be a DO or an MD. They will not accept Nurse Practitioners or Physicians Assistants. |

If you're required to come back to your home country for the visa particularly because of the medical, would you get your lab tests from a cheaper third world alternative? |
