Medical Appointment

[sandramor1 0]

Hello everyone, Happy New Year!!

I have a couple of questions.

My original interview was set for January 4th and my son's interview was set for January 14 (USCIS didn't link them together). I changed my interview for the 14th to have it the same day as my son. We just received in the mail the packet for my interview. It says Interview Jan 14, MEDICAL Jan. 04. I live in Medellin, the USE is in Bogota, does this mean I have to get my Medical this Monday and come back on the 14th for my Interview? For those of you who went through this process already, can you please share some information on this? I was planning on going to Bogota on the Jan. 12, do my son's and my medical on the 12th and do the interview on the 14th. Can the Medical be done like this or is it only by appointment. Has anyone had any luck with changing a Medical so it can be coordinated with the appointment?

Thank you!

Medical exam are usually done at least a week before the interview date. The results are then forwarded to the US embassy or sometimes you have to bring it with you on your interview. Having it done 2 days before your interview might delay your visa approval. By the way, is it only in Bogota where you can have your medical exam? Did you check if there are any other accredited clinic near your place?

I have read that they usually give you the results the same day, worst case next day. The thing is we received the appointment letter saying that my medical was to be done on the fourth, but my son who has his appointment on the same day as me (Jan 14) hasn't received any letter about his medical appointment or his appointment.

The medical can only be done in Bogota.

In my case, I only received the interview appointment letter and no medical appointment date was mentioned. When I called the hospital they told me to bring the interview appointment letter (of course other docs like passport, etc) when I go for the checkup. You can call directly to the hospital about this to better be sure.

If you're not gonna make it before your interview date, the Hospital can inform the US embassy to re-schedule your interview.

When my wife had her interview at the embacy, she got her medical exam done 3 days before her interview. The best thing for you to do is call and change the medical appointment to you dont have to travel alot.

Once the medicals are done you will have to pick them up the day before so you can take it with you to the interview at the embacy.
