My wife recieved the interview date. But, prior to her interview she will have to go to the nearest VFS office and submit documents and pay a fee. Can anyone please tell me if she will have to submit her medical report at the VFS office. She is in Kerala, India.

thanks

Neal, A slight variation here :star:

Jacy can do the medical before the interview and carry the sealed enevelope to the Consulate.

His wife can visit the local VFS at Cochin with the appointment letter to pay Rs.387 and get the receipt. Since their (like ours) docs are at NVC, they don't have to submit anything including photocopies to VFS.

I agree with you LoTo. But OP's timeline is not in detail so therefore i told him to submit all things.LoTo if you have medical exam result then they ask for it.Because one of my friend did this normal IR1/CR1 process. At that time his wife has submitted medical exam result and Rs.387. So i think if you have medical exam result ready then you can submit it at VFS or you can carry at interview time.

That's correct, Neal :thumbs: If anybody has medical done before VFS visit, they can hand over medical envelope to VFS and VFS will forward it to the Consulate.
