I forgot to add that I am disabled! When I go for the medical at the Embassay, would they hold it against me that I use an electric wheelchair? My Fiancee and I will be married by then!

I don't think that will count against you. The Americans with Disabilities Act, from the early 1990s was created to equalise things for disabled people in many different areas of life and I'm sure it extends to this process.
The medical really just seemed to be looking for communicable diseases as far as I can remember, although it was pretty thorough. Having my liver felt by the doctor was not an experience I ever want again!

Hi Sam,
Congratulations on your upcoming marriage. :smile: I reckon that as long as both you have enough money to support yourselves - as proved in the affidavit form you'll be filling out - then the medical should be no problem. They're making sure you're not going to 'infect' Americans or be a drain on the health care welfare system, I think. Though I don't know how that works when there's no NHS.
But anyway, I've collected a bunch of links that you might like to look at to do some more research. You can find them here. I especially recommend the Doc Steen site, the US Embassy in the UK page and foreignborn.com has some good summary articles.
best wishes, Jennie
