medical exam and timing

[horst+brunnhilda 0]

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know what the deal is with timing and the medical exam for the consulate? We are going through the Frankfurt consulate for our K1 (just received and sent off the packet 3 checklist), and the information from the consulate says that you're supposed to have your medical 6 weeks before you want to enter the US at the latest. It seems that in Germany, the interview at the consulate and medical exams often happen in the same day. Does that mean we will have to wait at least another 6 weeks after the medical before we get the visa? We would like my fiancee to leave for the US as soon as possible after the interview date, so should we try to do the medical now, and not even wait to receive an interview date?

Thank you all for your help, we appreciate it so much!

For here in Canada your medical is good for one full year, however, you are required to book your medical with an outside agency here. So as long as your interview is within a year of your interview you would be fine. I'm not sure what all the requirements are for your country, however that is what they are here.
