Isn't it good for 6months?

How they hell could they miss it haha

Am I missing something in what you mean by validity period?

Yes the visa is good for a maximum of 6 months (in principal), but the beginning date is from the date of the medical so there is never 6 months of validity for the visa when you receive it.

The validity date is stamped on the visa, for most its never an issue.

I was required to go back for immunization after 12 days because they can't give me shots since there's sexual contact in between "unsafe days"

I was also required a psych evaluation because of the prescription i was taking months ago since i didn't present them my med certificate. I gave them my medical certificate (cardio) and i passed!

I just had to join this discussion. Uh oh. I just had my period last Thursday and today is my last day then I read from SLEC that one should go on medical one week after the last day. But I'm now planning to go to st. Lukes on Thursday for my medical. I'm seriously thinking of just faking my last men's date? I don't think they have a way to track your real cycle do they?

I know very little about this as I am not a dr and I'm a guy lol

BUT

I'm thinking logically that since they will be giving you a gynecological exam, looking inside you(sorry to be blunt), they may notice something.

What if there is traces of your period and they then think if its been a week already this should not be here making them think something else is wrong with you leading to delays.

Follow the instructions, you have likely waited eons like the rest of us for these last steps in this part of the journey so it's exciting....I get it... but you should wait.

Just my 2 cents

Good luck.

Based on my experience 2 months ago, they did not do gynecological exam. I mean i was not asked by the Dr. to spread my legs idea9dv.gif ..I don't know if it varies which type of visa one is applying because as u can see i am IR-1/CR-1..And i don't know if it depends on the Dr's mode or whether one has a child already or not..

per SLEC - one week after the last day of your period.

http://www.slec.ph/us-visa-applicants.shtml#required-docs

Hi,

How to know the last day of the period? Is it the last day of the heavy flow? or until the last drop "the yellowish or brownish stuff"?

Like if the period start on the 19th and the heavy flow last maybe until 23rd so that means thats the last day?

I apologize for my ignorance ranting33va.gifhelpsmilie.gif
