SLMCEC Medical Exam - PASSED!

[pRetTy_aNgeL 1]

Congrats, AngelSaint! Your timeline has now sped up considerably after getting those RFEs. Did you schedule your interview yet? It does not say so in your data. Thanks for sharing the very detailed experience. It was funny! I hope they don't change the forex yet (for the medical fee) coz I don't plan to have my medical till Dec.

Chunsan, Congrats on your NOA2. Just saw that you've been approved. Yey! Hope you get the NVC notice soon.

thanks rootbeer, by the way, i just received my USEM letter today, I will schedule my interview this monday. I doubt if i can schedule this week since american's thanksgiving days will be on nov27-28 (It might be holiday at USEM) and dec 1 will be philippine holiday. I will post my interview schedule this monday.

The medical fee is $213.35 dollars. You'll pay it based on the prevailing peso rate on that day.

It says that I should had my medical at least one week before the interview (quite confusing if you will set your appointment first or the medical). My fiance scheduled my interview first before I had my medical. I had my appointment set by December 02. It will be a week and three days!!! I'm getting ready!!!!

The releasing nurse told me that i can set my interview from wednesday Nov 26 and up because they will forward my papers on tuesday. But i might have my schedule on dec2 or dec 3. I would be glad to meet you there Dave_0611 if i could schedule mine on dec 2.

Actually, i did not wait for my USEM letter to have my medical exam. I only use my NVC letter and it's good coz i got my visa process even faster than the usual. I wanted to finish my visa process soon so that me and my fiance could proceed to the next plan.

Just a clarification: Are you done with your medical? If your interview is on Dec 2, it is recommended that you should have completed your medical by Nov 25.

Got finished my medical exam two days ago (Nov20 & 21). What I did was wait for the packet until I received it. It took me two weeks to received it. My fiance set my appointment and asked for the dates Nov. 20 & 23 but it was taken and took December 02 as the latest interviewed date.

If you will try to call the call center you might get your interview earlier some will cancel their appointment and get a new one.

Congratulations!

My daughter and I will be having our medicals this Tuesday. Your post has been of valuable information. Am not worried about my vaccines. am more worried about my daughter's. She is 5 years-old and does not take to getting vaccines too well as her pain threshold is low. Will she have a urine exam too?

Good luck to your upcoming interview...

I passed on my medical exam last Nov 20-21. Thank God!

Here's the details:

>>> I brought the NVC letter with the MNLxxx number, passport, 3 visa pictures, money, black pen.

Day 1

1. I arrived at exactly 11:15am at st.lukes. The guard asked my passport and appoinment letter but i dont't have it yet. I only gave the NVC letter with the MNLcase number. He gave me forms to filled out (sucks, it was a lot...lol). After filling the forms, I handed it to the SLMC receptionist and she interviewed me like (when do u intend to go to us?, what POE? when is your interview? etc.), digital photograph will be taken after.

2. I was told to pay the medical fee at the 5th floor. (it was PHP 10,667.50 yay!)

3. X-ray at tthe 3rd floor. Note: Always remember your last day of menstruation. Shirt and bra off. lol!

4. blood extraction, urine sample at the 4th floor (They will take more or less 5ml blood sample from ur arm. Urine specimen is used to determine if u are pregnant too and some other test like kidney stones, etc.)

5. vital signs (weight, height, BP, pulse rate), eye check-up at 5th floor ( if you have eye glasses,contact lenses, you better bring it during your medical exam. They will surely ask for it.)

6. vaccination interview at 2nd floor (Bring any vaccinations record or if you don't have, just tell the doctor. You will be asked many questions like, do u have sexual contact this month? are u pregnant? Were you hospitalized? Is there any operation done? Do u have allergies? and many more.. Just tell the truth and nothing but the truth..lol)

7. physical exam at 5th floor (Be ready to undress ,no underwares at all. The doctor will interview you many silly questions like, how old are u? Where u convicted for any crime? Did u use drugs, shabu, morphine, marijuana,etc? Have you been insane? Do u have brain damage or mind problem? Do u have HIV desease, AIDS, any communicable deases? Do u have previous operation? Were u confined in the hospital? Do u have eye problem? Do u have your eyeglasses with you? etc. After that, you will be told to completely undress and lay on the bed. The doctor will check your breast, private parts and check whether you have ####### problems. She will check you all over to see if u have skin problems, tatoos, skin rashes,etc.

8. back to the US counter. You will be told to return after lunch on the next day. I finished the Day 1 sessions at 3:55pm. Note: bring some candies, snacks and water. The process is continuous...no lunch break either.

Day 2

1. I arrived around 2:30pm. The guard checked my medical fee receipt and passport. (Yay! He said, "Go to 2nd floor for vaccinations and you can now plan for a farewell party". This means that I already passed the exam. Thank you Lord! )

2. It will be a long long wait at the 2nd floor for the vaccination. I did not know what was the reason of the delay but they said, it usually happens like that.

3. At 6:30pm I got my 4 shots of vaccines namely: anti-cervical cancer, MMR, Human papillomavirus, and varicella. Ohhh my...'twas a lot! 2 shots in each arms. whew. It hurts huh!!!

4. Finally, i got cleared at the ground floor around 7:45pm. They took my passport and they said that they will forward it to the USEM on tuesday. So, I can have my interview on thursday or friday.Whew! So fast! They only gave me my receipt and vaccination records.

I hope this post will help those guys who will be taking their medical exam. Have a nice day!!!

Hi AngelSaint!

I just want to ask how much you paid for the vaccines. Is it included in the PHP 10,667.50? Thanks. I just want to prepare myself for the expenses. And congrats too!

No payment for the vaccines they were included to the fees you paid.

Your daughter will not have her urine exam, (to young for the pregnancy test...)

Several kids were crying when i was there. If her pain threshold is low, just expect that your daughter would cry.

Congratulations!

Thanks for all the comments and greetings guyz!!! Great things are worth waiting for. Just believe in yourself and always think positive. What our minds can conceived, our life can achieve! Be blessed and trust God to do it for you.

The medical fee includes vaccines and all the check up that you will be going through at st.Lukes. As i have mentioned on my posts, $213.35 is fixed and it must be paid in peso with the prevailing exchange rate of that day.

Guyz, you can check this link: http://manila.usembassy.gov/wwwfk1en.pdf
