Como ya tiene la fecha de la cita en la embajada puede hacer la cita médica cuando quiera.

Estuve revisando los Timelines de diferentes miembros que han colocado las fechas de su proceso y todo se ha demorado entre 9-10 meses. Me imagino que siempre y cuando se hagan todos los pagos y se descarguen todos los formularios por internet, de lo contrario tardaría un par de meses más.

Hola,

to quote the offical NVC web site at: http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3744.html

"Medical Examination

My interview hasn't been scheduled yet, but I want to get started on my medical exam. Where should I go to get an exam?

You will receive instructions concerning interview preparation in the appointment letter that you will receive from the NVC. You should not have your exam until your interview has been scheduled. For further information about how to arrange for your medical examination click Medical Examination. IMPORTANT NOTE: Medical examination results are valid for one year in normal circumstances. But if you have certain medical conditions your examination results could expire in as little as 3 months. In any case you should not have your medical examination until the NVC notifies you of your interview appointment date. You may be denied entry to the United States if your medical examination results expire before your arrival."

The section "IMPORTANT NOTE: states that normally medical examinations are good for one year...but some can expire in as little as 3 months...depending on special circumstances.

My wife and I are at the point where NVC is reviewing/finalizing our paperwork before contacting the US Embassy. Mi Wife has already gotten her exams completed and we have everything else ready as well.

I guess we are super anxious to get everything done as quickly as possible so thruout the entire process we have had everything ready before hand to help eliminate any extra time on our part.

Naudy & Danny,

Didn't the doctor's office or the lab ask if she had her interview appointment date already? This is one of the reasons they used to ask for the appointment letter, so that they knew that it had already been scheduled with the embassy, if you didn't have it, they wouldn't see you.

thats a very good point...but no. Although, I personally called and spoke to him from the states...perhaps that is why they went ahead and saw her...cant really say.

The good thing is you're going for a CR1 visa which means you only need your medical for the embassy to approve it. K visa petitioners need it for their AOS after they arrive in the US and if they can't file before that 12 month mark, then they need to get another one here in the US at a much higher cost.

....Yes, another good point Diana.

I wanted to post about a discrepancy between the US Department of State Consular Electronic Application Center

(Where one pays there AOS and IV bill) and the E-mail I received from the NVC after they processed my AOS.

From the reasearch i've done by ready offical sites, forums and calls I've made...I was aware that once the IV status changed from "in progress" to "PAID", i would be able to print out the cover sheet (a selectable button the the site) and mail in all the required documents in, which I did since i had everything ready. This bar coded cover sheet (which i didnt find out till later) has an adress with the attn as "ATTN: CMR". Also, this site only has a link to the NVC site on how to submit your package and all the pertinent info needed. It specifically does not state that you have to write your case number on every sheet in the upper right hand corner of every sheet. *which i knew to do from previous research.

The E-mail i received from the NVC also had a cover sheet with the bar code, but its attn states "ATTN: DR". The email included instructions which state to please include the case number on the upper right hand corner of every page. It goes on to say to include a copy of the letter with your documents submitted...which i obviously did not do.

After receiving this email...i of course freaked out knowing how meticulous and picky government agencys are. I immediatly picked up the phone and called the NVC and told them about the discrepancy and asked if the "ATTN:" discrepancy along with not including the letter would cause any delay on my package...which she assured me that it would not. Well, nothing against her but i called three other times and each told me the same thing...which i finally felt a bit better.

Have you heard of this "discrepancy" from the NVC before? Just wanted to be sure any pertinent info is available to everyone for future applicants.

No, I haven't heard of any discrepancies when it comes to sending the documents to the name and address that appear on the barcoded sheet you download online. So everything's good.
