hi all,

i have emailed the US embassy and they answered to my question if i cud do medical in advance, they suggested me to wait for appointment letter from NVC. i wondered so much cuz most of my indonesian friends did their medical in advance (b4 they received the appointment letter)so if u know what i mean...why are there 2 ways here? why there's no STRONG rule that CR1 visa applicant can only do medical after they receive appointment letter?? i wanna do it soon, cuz i will have 2 weeks off from work ..sigh.
