1 year of courtship

You can call the day of record to St. Luke's , get the result and schedule it yourself if you wish. Or you can wait for them to schedule it. It is 6 on one side and a half dozen on the other......really doesn't matter IMO, it'll be 1 1/2 months unless you are lucky. Best wishes on a negative culture!

Hello! it depends if there's still available slots. I went through culture test and I got my medical result on November 22 and I re scheduled it online and the available slots I took was December 12. I think it's better to call the US Em right after you received your culture test so they can schedule you right away. :)

Mine since I set the date of the interview online under k3 visa I went online to re book again. But I think IR/CR visa they already have schedule sometimes the hospital gave them a new schedule or they call the embassy right after they got the result. You can just wait until he receives the result then you can do either one of it. My friend, SLME gave her the schedule....
