Your fiance can do her medical anytime after she receives the appointment letter from USEM. The letter doesn't specify nor include a medical appointment date as this will be based on your fiance's availability. From what I've read here, the medical should be done at least a week before the interview happens and or a month before if her schedule permits.

sample copy of appointment letter -> http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...ost&id=6783

regarding vaccination, ive read here in VJ that you can take shots early and just present your certification that you already have that shot during medical interview..

it s stated there that, it would be cheaper to take shots in advance in your city/province than at St. Lukes. i thought that medical fee already includes the vaccination fee.... do you need to pay more for each shot?

The shots @ St Lukes are already included on the St Lukes Medical fee..

You need em or not, you basically pay the same..

So why pay and get em advance? If you get em for free @ St Lukes anyways...

My Medical sked was Nov. 29 but I did Nov. 23. .tell your fiance to have a vaccine shots at St. Lukes coz it is included on the whole rate then ask for that record. maybe she needs to wait for the letter for medical and she can go earlier. .I think only St. Lukes medical clinis is the authorized clinis of US embassy,not sure though about Visayas area. Mine took 2 days coz there's a Dr. who interpreted the medical certificate I submitted..

PS..Does your fiancee worked outside in the Phils?coz there's a Police Certificate that she needs to submit during the Interview?

Goodluck..
