Mand....................Rebecca.....................you guys may know this.

When Gav gets his medical exam-how long does it take for the doc to send the info to the Embassy?

Just curious-thanks guys!

As far as I know, Gav will have to collect the results himself and then bring it with him to the Embassy on interview day.

I did my medical at Blackrock Clinic and was asked to come back a week later to collect the results. I think Mand mentioned that she did the medical in Cork and collected the results same day.

Either way, it should not take more than a few days to get the results.

Yeah, J&D is correct. He will be given the sealed envelope the same day (as I was) or collect it later himself. Either way, he'll bring the medical results himself to the Embassy.

Nearly there Colleen now!!

Thanks guys

I know-nearly there! nearly there!!

I am going to ring the embassy next week to see if I can find out what date they are going to give him. I want to try and book a flight before they go up even more(freaking gas prices).

I was looking at the cost of flights too (going up every day!) and hoped to travel on/around June 15 as I start a job in the US on July 3 (and want to go 2/3 weeks in advance in order to have an SSN on time), but I got a letter from the Embassy last week with a date of June 6 which was a lot later than I thought, so hopefully Gav will do better than me and get an earlier date.

June 6th means I have 9 days to get stuff sold/shipped to the US before leaving, which is a pain, so I called the Embassy I told them I'd throw rocks at their windows every weekend til they gave me an earlier date, so we'll see what happens....

I had called a few weeks ago & they told me that they are really "lagging behind" these days. According to them they are under-staffed. I was hoping to get a date for the beginning of June(because it is easier for me to travel during the beginning of the month). If the prices keep going out of control-I may not be able to go

Call them & see if they can fit you in sooner-It can't hurt. Gav's noa2 expires July 7th-so I know they will have to get him in before then. I am figuring the second week of June(although I could be way off). I am going to call next week to see what the story is with his interview.

Explain your situation-I am sure they get cancellations-maybe they can out you on some sort of "list"??

Good luck-let me know what happens

I pestered the embassy and they moved the interview from June 6th to May 2nd (due to a cancellation), but didn't have to break any of their windows afterall.

I was number 3 in line yesterday and watched 2 people being told they did not have the correct documentation (one has a baptismal cert, not a birth cert and another did not have their spouses 2005 taxes filed). But the staff were nice and explained exactly which documents were missing and told the folks before me to contact the Embassy again for another interview when they had the missing documents ready.

Needless to say while watching all this, I started having doubts about my own documents, even though I checked them 1,245,784 times the night before. Pretty nerve-wracking, but when it was my turn all was in order, raised my right hand in the air and swore that all info in the docs was true, paid my $380 and my passport was stamped with a I-551 permanent resident visa and I received the mysterious brown envelope.

I was in the Embassy for 3 hours, but only about 15 minutes total at any of the windows (doc collection, interview with consular officer, cashier, passport/visa collection). My wife (who currently has no fingernails left after waiting nervously in a cafe across from the Embassy for 3 hours) and I booked our flights last night, we are heading to Charlotte, NC on June 14 and will start my job as planned on July 3.
