Medical Exam before case complete?

[M&ME 2]

We're waiting for case complete from the NVC and looking forward to the rest of the process in Frankfurt. My wife would like to get the medical exam out of the way, and from what I've read on the embassy page it looks like a person can walk-in for the medical at anytime. Will it cause confusion if the consulate hasn't received our case yet and she completes the medical exam? They clearly state that the records can't be more than 6 months old, so that gives us a lot of time.

I don't know about Germany but in PI you need the MNL number and the NOA2 to do the medical.May be different in Germany. Give it a go.

I believe in Canada, we have to wait until one gets the letter advising of the interview at the Embassy before one can get the medical because that letter is required and given to the civil surgeon. I think the reason is that the case isn't completed until NVC says so - you would be jumping the gun in an effort to get things moving along. You may want to call NVC or even the medical clinics to inquire.

And prior to the medical, all vaccinations are to be completed - if they are not, the medical clinic may send you to a local travel clinic to get what's necessary but it's recommended your immunization is up to date prior to the medical.

I don't know how it works in Germany but I suspect the same applies.

Good luck.

I talked to a really nice lady at the Frankfurt Consulate this morning, she said that my wife can, in fact, go to her medical exam early. She said that the only confusion that it may cause is that they will establish a temporary file for her until they get her papers from the NVC, then they'll have to merge the two files together.

You are free to do the medical exam once you get the letter of appointment. You don't have to wait until a few days before your appointment. Just make sure that the validity of the medical report doesn't expire before your interview. If it does expire, they will temporarily deny your visa application on the condition that you turn in a valid medical report to them (the consulate).

The medical exam is good for 6 months in Germany so we don't have to worry about it expiring. We have not yet received "case complete" from the NVC, but representative at the consulate said that she could go to her medical exam now if she wants to.

she can go, would be best to give the panel physician a call to see what she needs to bring and how much the fee is. The list with the physicians can be found on the consulate's website

I brought last year: interview letter (they only wanted to see the case number), passport photos, passport, the yellow vaccination book, fee
