Early Medical for CR1 visa ?

[Captain Oates 910]

There have been a few posts about medicals in general - sort of scattered around in other threads - but can anyone confirm whether it's possible to get a really early medical in London - as soon as we get 'case complete' at the NVC for instance

We have got the LND2007.... number of course and I was thinking of pleading with the Embassy when I send packet 3 in. I reckoned that if I can say I already have done the medical and I already have the police certificate, then they might give me an earlier date. It worked when I did K1 a couple of years ago and I got an interview in 10 days - but I don't know how it works with a CR1 in 2007

I believe the medical is ok for 1 year so can anyone see a problem with having it done 3 or 4 weeks before packet 3 arrives ?

I am in good health right now so a good time to do it - and I got my police certificate 8 months early too for the same reason - if I get 'done' for something now I will have a 'clean sheet' to produce....

My husband had his medical done even before we received our NOA2. They told us at the embassy that the medical is valid for one year, and as long as the doctor is approved by the consulate, it is very much OK to do it in advance.

In our strange case, however, it might now present a problem, since my husband resides in Poland and will be scheduled to interview in Napoli, Italy. Hopefully they won't make him go through and pay for the Italian medical, as well.

Heck thats a surprise because I thought you needed an embassy number - which you would not have at the pre-noa2 stage ?

Apparently the london people ask for that and won't do a medical without it

We have the LND2007xxxxxx number on our nvc file so we should be ok that way...

Yes I think I will do it now before I get a flesh eating virus or something... you never know

I can just see me at POE with my clean police certificate and medical clearance - after being done for driving whilst drunk on the way to the interview and scratching away at my newly acquired diseases...

no i would like to get the medical done so i can go back to living on sugary ginger biscuits...

just joking my US readers - of course I would not be so irresponsible and I would voluntarily give up my application in that case - er hum
