Medical done today and Visa interview 09/09/08

[Todd-Leah 0]

I drove down to Kuala Lumpur yesterday evening, planned to go for medical check up and meet up old friends.

Called the consular office this morning, was told packet 4 has already been sent out by snail mail yesterday.

Anyway, was told can pick up a copy of the medical forms at 2-3.30 p.m. since I am already down here.

So I picked up a copy of the forms and got the medical done today.

The only vaccination needed was MMR. The medical is a piece of cake, the biggest challenge was to find my veins, the doctor had to poke 5 times at a few places on my left and right hands to draw blood ! Though had to take a cab to go to another place for X-ray, was able to complete everything before at 4.30 p.m and left the city before the after work rush hour.

The visa interview is scheduled to be on 09/09/08.

We were hoping to get the visa before August ends and fly during the first week of Sept. But the consular office has paced the visa interview quite far apart probably expecting me to get packet 4 next week and the fact that I live outside Kuala Lumpur. Since we have all the documents ready and medical done, going to call the consular office on Monday, try to see whether can get an earlier interview date.

Thanks everyone, for the well wishes.

I just came back after spending 4 days at the city, just in time to watch the Olympic Badminton matches in the single category tonight. We are hoping for the first gold/silver medal for Malaysia. :-)

I just called the consular office, they agreed to move my visa interview to an earlier date 08/26/08. :-)

Rani whom I talked too at first said she couldn't move my interview date because they have a few complicated cases this 2-3 weeks and I might have to wait a long time if she scheduled me together with them. I pleaded and she agreed our case is simple, so she agreed to "squeeze" me onto the tight schedule!!
