So, apparently today, my wife went down to St. lukes [2nd day](suppose to taker her vaccinations) but she was told to take a "sputum test", because of her Xray results due to coughing.

my wife also told me that she needs to go in medication for the next 3 days and return again 2 months later for her results.

she also told me that St. lukes will schedule her "interview date", instead of NVC., meaning we would have to wait longer for her to come here..=(

I guess it'll be just on time for her interview. you haven't got your interview schedule anyways,

in your timeline, case complete August, and she had her medical this month as well.

so if NVC will send you Interview Schedule anytime by September then her Interview will fall by October. :thumbs:

just in time she's done with her culture test. :) Don't worry she'll be fine :) just PRAY :innocent:

USEM will NOT interview her until she pass her medical exam. The mail that they sent out is just part of their standard operating procedure.

I called the Embassy last week and this statement is not entirely true. They will do interview proceedings but will not clear for visa until they receive the medical packet back from St. Lukes.

I have the same thought like you (interview will fall in oct/nov) but the part that worrys me is the sputum test, just another thing to worry about.

I hope her sputum smear & culture goes well. GodSpeed ! :unsure:

I just received my P4 via Email , Interview scheduled on Sept 14, although my wife is under Sputum Testing. Is she able to attend the interview?? or does she need to finish/pass her medical first?

thanks in advance

thanks in advance

USEM will not interview her without passing the medical exam first. I suggest call them and advise that your wife is undergoing sputum test so that she will not be tag as No Show on her appointment interview.
