My wife has scheduled her medical appointment for this week.

The medical will be approximately 34 days before the actual interview at the Embassy.

Is there any problem with getting the medical done over 30 days in advance? I have read the New Delhi website and it only makes mention that the medical must be done at least 7 days in advance.

Going by this strict verbiage it would seem that getting it as much as 30-35 days in advance will be acceptable.

The only thing I would be worried about is when the medical will expire - but I do not think it will lose its validity after 30 days - more like 6 months or 1 year. Also for some reason I have noticed most VJers get the medical within 15-20 days of the interview.

Please let me know any thoughts on this and potential problems with our appointment schedule.

Medical exam results are generally good for 6 months, so you're fine there. My guess on the timing of medical exam scheduling is that the hospital sets specific dates and times for exams and applicants have to fit within that narrow window. Just make sure that the exam results remain unopened and that those unopened results and xrays make it to the Visa interview.
