MEDICAL EXAMINATION FOR DV LOTTERY WINNER.
DV Lottery winners must go through a medical examination before going to the interview at the embassy. The medical test should be done only by a medical practitioner recommended by the Embassy. It can't be accepted if done by any medical officer other than the ones who are named by the Embassy. The medical examination fee must be paid by the DV Lottery winner if he gets the interview notification. (This is also called as second letter.)
The correct medical examination forms (DS-2053) can be obtained from the Embassy. The doctor will require two photographs from you when you are going for the medical test.
Normally completion of the medical and all related tests will require at least one week. So be sure to schedule your medical appointment well in advance of your visa interview date.
A blood test for antibody to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is required as a part of your medical examination.
The results of your test will be provided to a consular officer. Also, it may be necessary to report results to the health authorities in this country.
Visit the Embassy in your country or related Embassy to get the medical test, forms and information on doctors who are performing the medical test to avoid unnecessary delay in DV Lottery interview and prevent waste of money by going to the correct doctor.
Here is the typical web notice regarding the Medical test.
