Hi ,
I had the same problem and my medical was rejected based on an old successful surgery done two decades ago. I had many jobs in the past and none of my employers had the least issue with that.
Carolina,
Would you please let me how can I get around this medical decision ?
I tried to PM you, but some how its not working.
Best regards,
Northam

Oh o
I am so sorry as I do check my private messages thoroughly and could not find a message from yourself.
In the meantime I know for a fact this person is now back in the Kingdom so I will try and call them tonight.
So sorry you are having such a stressful time over all of this.
Kind Regards
Carolina

Is there a sequence followed by SA while processing the documents that are submitted. Like I was informed that the BI is completed. I assumed all other documents have been reviewed and only visa medical is balance. Now from the posts here it seems SAMSO could be after BI !!!

It is prudent to consider at least these two concepts when considering medical history from an employer's standpoint:
1) does the candidate (i.e. future company resource) carry a diagnosis that may result in the company losing the resource (i.e. candidate) some time before 20 year retirement and/or lose the resource to being on sick leave on a relatively frequent basis.
2) does the candidate have a medical history concerning for ~overuse of healthcare services, particularly with respect to workplace related claims.
Examples of #1 may include cancer in remission, joint reconstruction for a joint that will be needed on the job, autoimmune diseases, etc.
Examples of #2 may include history of disability claim(s), history of workplace related medical claims, history of chronic low back pain/slipped disks/bulging disks, etc (i.e. conditions that most people have but do not end up pursuing medically). While this may sound harsh, a pro sports team would never choose to hire a player who has a history of many injuries and riding the bench if/when there are other players without such history available for hire.
Aramco, like any insution, does not seem to have hard and fixed rules on what medical problems are allowable and which are not. It would seem that, depending on the needs of a particular department and the overall strength of the applicant, waivers would be granted to some and not others for the same conditions.
I know no specifics of the above with respect to Aramco. Frankly no one here can accurately predict what medical conditions will be accepted and which will be rejected.

Rama is correct, no one can say which medical issues will be accepted or rejected. It is looked at on an individual basis and on the need of the company with regards to the skills of the prospective employee. Also it depends on which Aramco Doctor reviews the records and how he/she makes his/her decision.
pvk: These can be occurring simultaneously or one at a time. Depending on how busy each department is. Acquiring the visa is the last step.

I would say don't be disappointed.. this may just be a blessing in disguise for you from . If they made such a big deal about you have a medical condition 25 years ago it doesn't speak very highly of the ability of these folks to make a sound business decision. Stay here, work hard and I am sure you will be more successful and more happy. Best of luck.

I have been rejected in my medical. Honestly, I don't know the specific reason why I got rejected. I asked my recruitment coordinator and she indicated that I have no opportunity for an appeal or any sort of request for reconsideration. My doctors had given me an excellent prognosis and cleared me to be fit for work for which I applied for, sadly, SAMSO did not consider to be the case. They astounded my doctor's (two specialists) who cleared me. I guess a determination by US medical specialists was clearly knocked down by SAMSO...I almost lost faith in my doctor's skills and decisions....but then, I submit to the will of the almighty. It is surely not the end of the world by not getting a chance to work for Aramco.
