I have read somewhere medical exam is only valid for 6 months. Can someone please send a link to confirm this? Is medical exam validation different from countries? I think in Phillipines only valid 6 months. How about Vietnam? Is it one year or 6 mos.?

Also how long is the IR-5 (Parent of US citizen) visa valid for?

I believe you may be correct. For some reason I had it mixed up with the police certificate validity period. In other words, the police papers expire in 1 year but the medical papers expire in 6 months. Sorry for the mixup. That was on me :-(

You mean if they issued visa on 01/31/13 and you had medical exam on 01/15/13, your visa would be good until 07/15/13? (for example).

But I heard medical exam is good for 1 year?
