Medical Tests for partnership based visa

[Dany1912]

Hey all. I got a question. My partner and I started the application process for the partnership visa. I am positive that my blood test is ok but my urine test always had some blood in it. I had this problem back home and my doctor said it was all alright and some people are just this sensitive. My question : would that be a reasonably to deny my application? I will probably go to the lab and then they will send it to immigration

If this happens at your medical this time, it will obviously be marked as abnormal on the form that is sent to INZ, and the medical will be referred to the MAs. They are in another department, and it's their job to understand what anyone's medical condition is, and tell the CO if it is satisfactory or not. There is always a queue of files waiting for an MA's attention. What you can do to speed things up is this - if you're told you had blood in your urine, you go straight away to your own doctor (a GP), tell him/her what is happening, and ask to be investigated. Then the GP can write a letter and/or provide test results saying, 'This patient had blood in the urine. I did this, this and this test, and everything is fine,' or, 'I have started xyz treatment because I found abc condition, and in my opinion this will be cleared in three weeks,' or whatever they think. Then you send that letter to INZ, quoting your eMedical number and all the details of your application, and it will catch up with your medical, wherever it has got to in the system. With luck, it will be there when the MA takes their first look at the medical, and will have done all the things he would have required, and so saved some time.

The MA has the power to require whatever tests and doctors' or specialists' reports they think necessary, till they are sure they understand what the applicant's health is like, but quite often, the first set of reports will be enough.

Thanks a lot. I lived in Germany. Will it be enough if I ask my old GP to send my old documents about all the tests that I had done?

No. The MA will want a report about what your state is now, not in the past.
