medical appointment

Isn't an Xray a requirement? I am sure they will ask to see Xray on entry to the U.S. but maybe things have changed.

I found out from calling in the NVC in the US that HCM consulate sent out appointment letter on April 22. Now it's April 28 and my fiancee haven't receive it yet. She lives in HCM. Can she just stop by the Consulate and ask for the appointment letter? Package 4?

Thanks

yes... but they may say to wait a couple of weeks depending on when the interview is scheduled.

From all the posts I have read, it appears the x-ray IS a requirement. But, as far as entry into the US goes, things have my changed. They did not ask to look at my husband's when he came in Jan.

I would give it another week. Mail in Vietnam takes a long time, even in HCMC. Apparently once it is received in country, it gets routed to the postal office in your district and can again be routed to another office

while waiting for the appointment letter to arrive, you can also establish communication by email with nvcinquiry@ and receive a pdf copy of your letter

Being screened for TB is a requirement, but I've never heard of them asking to see the x-ray at the POE. I was with my wife and step-kids when they entered the US. They were carrying their x-rays with them, but nobody ever asked to see them. They presume that all of this stuff was done before they got the visa.
