medical exam for K1 & writing to US Manila Embassy

[privateandprivate 0]

I want to ask is it better to do your medical exam for k1 visa 2 days before interview? will I bring the result with me? or they will send it for me then they will open it during interview?. I will pay in peso right? but the amount appearing on the st. luke is in dollars? third, I will wait for NOA2 which is now 4 months and 1 week of waiting before paying for the medical exam? and i will also have to wait for my case number in Manila Embassy before paying the IV bill? thanks..

Right now I'm still waiting for my NOA2 and will write to US Manila Embassy to accept my case since we filled out Riyadh US-Embassy in Saudi before, thinking that I would be interviewed before my exit in Saudi which is was on Oct. 2. Now I am already here in Philippines and still waiting for my NOA2. would my case be affected because of the changing of consulate? thanks for the input..my notice date is on June 9, 2011

The medical exam at St. Lukes Medical Extension Clinic (SLMEC) takes two days for most people. The Embassy recommends that you complete your medical one week before your interview. You will need your NOA approval and your MNL case number to be admitted for a medical. There are people who have completed their medical in as little as one day before their interview. Many people complete their medical as soon as they get their NOA petition approval from the USCIS and their MNL case number from the National Visa Center (NVC) because they want to save time in case their chest x-ray shows abnormalities and they have to undergo TB smear tests and a two-month TB culture.

The medical costs about $213, but you pay for it in pesos when you go to SLMEC for your medical.

When you have completed your medical, SLMEC will return your passport to you along with your x-ray CD. They will inform the Embassy that you passed your medical.

You can pay for your IV bill (visa fee) at BPI once you have your MNL case number from the NVC. You can make an interview appointment after you pay the visa fee.

It may take some time to transfer your case from Saudi to Manila.

I hope this helps.

Good luck.

Hi! What if the Clinic did not return the CD to the applicant and they said they will be the one who send the cd, is there any implication on that, it means, there is something wrong? please enlighten me Thanks
