Yeah, I know. I've heard the horror stories...

Hey, Saylin...I'm interested in the horror stories you've heard. My children will do the medical soon, and I sure want to be pre-warned, and pre-armed :blink: ..

Dunno if they can be prevented, though. :rofl:

Wait a day, try again. Sometimes (eek) the queue gets full, and the email server gets misconfigured, and starts bouncing emails . Relax, wait a day, try again.

You can find them in Philippines' forum or simply search here in vj "Sputum Tests" something like that.

A man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh. – Genesis 2:24

I was just looking at the US Embassy in London website, and it says that "The medical examination must take place before the visa interview. The Embassy will not schedule the interview until they have received the results of the medical examination."

I'm confused now because I was under the impression that we had to wait for an interview date before my husband could schedule his medical. I also realize that different consulates follow different procedures, though. Can anyone help me with this or direct me to the right place to look?

London Consulate actually requires the medical to be done before the interview. You do not even have to wait for an interview date to schedule the medical. We want to be ahead of the game as much as possible so my husband scheduled his medical today and we are still waiting for our CC with NVC.

Could be the next business day or a few days. Not everyone gets confirmation emails, so you'll know for sure once the IV fee becomes available.
