Medical

[jaystone 2]

Hello Everyone,

I am a newbie here and I have a question.

My fiancee is scheduled for her embassy interview Novebember 28th. She will be in Manilla for her medical November 20th. The plan was to have her medical done on the 20th and the results to be at the embassy by her interview. However, we ran into a problem:

Her period normally is on the 10th-11th of every month, however it was late this month(of all months!!) so my question is, should I cancel the interview and reschedule for another time or should we proceed? Her period should be over by the 23rd so it would be 5 days before her interview.

Thanks for your help!

I wouldn't cancel/reschedule your interview unless she can't get her medical completed before the interview date. SLEC is pretty good about getting the medical file to USEM.

Thanks, Hank! that is encouraging.

I recommend that she start her Medical on Monday, November 26. If she arrives at St. Lukes early enough, she may be able to complete it in one day. It should not be a problem if she can not complete her medical on Monday. In that case, she can return on Tuesday, November 27 to finish up and get her immunizations.

Regardless of whether she finishes up on Monday or on Tuesday, she should inform St. Lukes that her interview is on Wednesday, November 28, and wants to make sure her medical results arrive at the Embassy in time for her interview. St. Lukes may even allow her to hand-carry her medical results to the Embassy due to the short amount of time between completing her medical and her interview.

The worst-case scenario is if she completes her medical on Tuesday and St. Lukes will not be able to deliver her medical results to the Embassy in time for her interview nor will St. Lukes allow her to hand-carry her medical results to her interview. Even in that case, she definitely should attend her interview. If the Embassy does not have her medical results available for her interview, they simply will issue her form MNL-IV-22 (221g), which will tell her that the Embassy needs to wait for her medical results. Then, when the Embassy receives her medical results, they will start processing her visa.

Thanks for your input...I really appreciate it! I will not cancel the interview.

Thanks again!

Hi Jaystone!

I just want to ask how many days did your fiancee start her medical exam before the interview? Because I am thinking also of doing the medical for my wife on the same week of her interview, say Monday & Tuesday-medical and Friday would be the interview.

Thank you for your help!
