I think it should be fine, as long as the hospital is approved by the consulate. You may want to call them and check with them directly.

linux7 · October 3, 2012

My wife has got interview on 11/8/2012 at Mumbai. She will get her medical done soon. However, the new process is complicated. Can someone direct me on that?

Thanks,

Just thought I would share with you all that the new US Travel Docs registration is doing it's thing!

We are still waiting to receive his passport and Visa, however, he did get confirmation today that his passport has left the Embassy and is on it's way to the Pune location!!!

He also received an email verifying this and gave the address location of where it's going.

Unfortunately, they don't seem to be delivering to our home address and rather are sending it to a government location here in Pune that we will have to go to pick up his passport and Visa.

Good enough for me! I'm just glad to learn are registration for this new setup actually worked and that everything is on the right track!!

I'll keep you all updated when we get the Passport and if we had to go and pick it up or if it got delivered to our home.

THANKS FOR THE CONGRATS!!!!! It's been a long time coming and I am so ready to go HOME now!!!

Mandy how much time it took for medical and did you get same day medical report or next day?

capri_scorp · October 3, 2012

my wife will be going from Indore to get medical done.

Very relevant queries PGupta.... I tried calling the Mumbai, Lilavati Hospital & Research Centre using 26568000 (Ext: 8248) number because other numbers provided were not functioning and they asked me to call during day time between 10am to 3pm(IST). I called from here in US few minutes ago and it was too late so I might call them tonight to get more info on: if they accept interview letter print out or not and on what is their time frame for a normal case to be provided with medical report.

Now about the Indore medical report I think it would be best to contact vfs and ask them.

About how early medical can be done.... We can get it done anytime since we already got the interview date... your visa validity will be based off on the date of your medical. I read this somewhere online and not sure where, but if I get hold of this information I will post the link. I think its based on your vaccinations that is provided during the medical that one is good to go for the next 6months and so your visa to enter US is whithin that time frame.... So if you get medical done now ie; 2 months prior interview then your visa is valid for another 4 months from date of interview....this is just my understanding, someone please correct me if I am wrong.

These are my doubts too so I wish we get positive answers soon.

Hi Linux7... Congrrrrraaaaaatzzzz......

There is no confusions now.... make sure you have all documents with you. the only step extra to be done is the medical and once you get the report add it to your documents. Then you go to the consulate on the day of your interview but an hr prior because 30min before your interview time, officers will pull you from the loooooong waiting line into the vfs line where your originals submitted to NVC will be given back to you, medical and some other docs will be taken from you and you will get a token with which you will be referred to for the rest of the procedures (Fingerprint & interview) for that day to come out with a face.

Please read MandyBear's review posted on Sep 29th because their case followed the new consulate rules, it is very helpful.

Please feel free to correct me if their is any discrepancy in my thoughts because this is all new for me too, I share from my reading and understanding of fellow VJ members' and consulate website' postings.

Hey Guys!

Just real quick here....

It took two days for all the Medical stuff to get wrapped up at the Lilavati Hospital. We drove up from Pune on the day of the medical appointment (you do need to make an appointment). The first day is for paperwork, blood work and x-rays and then the second day we had to return to get the finished reports along with a cursory "examination" by a Doctor and any vaccinations that were needed.

So, from our experience I can say that all you need is the printed out Interview Appointment packet. We got ours via email, so we just printed it off and took it in. They will stamp it so hold on to it.

Also, your visa is only good for the length of your vaccinations, depending on your medical report. From my research, the visa is good for (generally speaking) 6 months from the time of your vaccinations. Not from the time of your Interview. Not 100% on that, but 90% sure. We'll know for sure once my husband get's his Passport and Visa back. But, a friend on here, his wife got her medical done nearly two months previous to her Interview and her visa was only for 4 months.

Hope this helps out some!!

Good luck everyone!!
