My Thai fiance already had her medical check done, and police background check completed. I am concerned there could be an "expiration" on her doc's if the interview is still possibly 2 or more months away. We just received our NOA1, so we are just starting the K1 process. But we wanted to get as much done in advance as is possible to speed things along. Comments?

Medical is good for 1 year. Police reports are usually good for 1 year or 6 months.

Joe,

The interview is more than 2 months away. In the recent past the time between the consulate recieving both DS-230-I and the signed checklist certification has been 2 months (used to be 3 months). I don't know how fast the CSC is going 'on average' these days, and there's no way of knowing how quickly your petition will be completed until it has been, but it's possible that the interview is as much as 6 months or so away.

And if the consular officer processing Pim's visa application wants a new police certificate or medical exam, they'll tell her.
