During the immigration process to the United States, medical examinations are mandatory for various visas, including the CR2, intended for children of CR1 visa holders.

The tuberculosis test may vary according to the child’s age: generally, children under two years old are exempt, while children from that age must undertake the examination.

It is essential to comply with the guidelines of the U.S. Department of State and immigration agencies, as such requirements may be updated or interpreted on a case-by-case basis.

It is recommended to consult official sources and specialized professionals to avoid incorrect information or scams.

Procedures may vary according to the clinical situation and evaluator, making it fundamental to follow the instructions of the medical panel and the U.S. Consulate to ensure the process’ success.
