Medical Exam 1 month prior to interview?

[Q&R 1]

"The medical examination must be done at least two weeks prior to your visa interview appointment date."

In all honesty, I'm not sure WHEN that can be. The wording here confuses me...even after reading it a hundred times.

If we have already recieved our NVC letter, our p3 and p4 from the embassy, AND have already scheduled the appointment, which is August 19th......Can the medical exam be done 1 month prior to the interview? Can my fiancee go do the medical exam on July 9th?

People have said yes. People have said no.

We called the hospital and they didn't know. The embassy is worthless in responding.

I know this is a stupid question....so.....

THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

You can get it done a month before the interview. There are some threads if you Google VJ for your options with this.

it's perfectly fine to get the medical done a month prior to the interview.

Do note, the validity of the visa , starts with medical 'done' date...

yes, they just want it done MORE than 2 weeks prior to the interview. So that means you can't have it done only a week or a few days before the interview. A month is fine.

[janet&adonis 57]

so do you have to schedule a medical exam or is it scheduled for you?

[Darnell 8,478]

for Guangzhou, is ok to just walk in.

for D_R - is best to study D_R medical stuff for that answer (sorry)

Our medical appointment was done a few days before the appointment. It was accepted. However, it ended up not mattering, because the Embassy ended up allowing all of our documents to expire, 1 by 1, waiting a few weeks before each expired to give us "final approval notices" seemingly knowing that by the time they read our paperwork it would be a shuffle to draft another blue slip. So, like Darnell says, it will only affect you if you are in AP a long time.

I'm confused now. Mav will be completing her second day at St. Lukes tomarrow. We had intentions to schedule the interview in about 2 months to allow me time to gather at least 4 months of Paystubs. I read the Medical is generally valid for 6 months. I only just started this job 10 weeks ago but I wanted the Medical completed and not a concern. Replies ?
