Can anyone go to the St. Lukes Medical Center of Manila and have there medical exam completed before NVC schedules it for them..Will this cause any disruption in the Visa process or not..I have also read on the hospital website it is a first come first serve basis.

Yes, you can schedule a visa medical exam before you receive an interview letter :) I would check further with other members as to how they went about it...but people in the PI seem to do it all the time. :thumbs:

Your CC was 10/19. It would take around 2 or 3 weeks to schedule the interview with the Consulate. Then only, NVC will email this appointment letter.

I really pray it is much sooner than that...Is there anyway they could possibly e-mail us the letter in advance of a 2-3 week date or what?

NVC only had my paperwork/I-129F for a couple days. My fiancee had her 'packet 3' in hand, sent from US Embassy in Manila, in less than 2 weeks from the time NVC rec. my case from USCIS. Scheduling an interview was easy, when I called they had the whole month of Oct open for interviews. Perhaps due to the lower number of cases to process related to the USCIS slow down. Overall, it was about 5 weeks from NOA2 to the interview. - Dave

Just remember, the clock will start ticking once you have your medical. Your visa will expire six months from the date of the exam, not the date of the interview. If you have delays you may even have to re-do the exam.
