I just wanted to ask, by the time i receive an email that i can go for my medical exam, how soon should i do it? i mean, am i given a week or a month to go for the medical exam? I am not in my home country right now and i am worried that if i get the notification for the medical exam i wont be available to do it immediately. thank you so much!!

At what stage of the K1 process are you in? Please fill in your timeline so people can advice you accordingly.

I was just pondering the same strategy.

I'm not aware if there is a time limit too far in advance but I suppose as soon as you get the MNL# (NVC has received your packet from USCIS)

The documentation states 7 -10 days prior your your embassy appointment

However I'm inclined to have my fiancee take it as soon as we get our MNL number from NVC.

Pending the exam result I will then schedule the embassy appointment, Also this gives her time to prepare

for the interview following.

If you live on Luzon its not as much a hassle than if you are else where as my fiancee -- Davao.

You got an email from USEM telling you that you can go do the medical?

Do you have your MNL #?

Have you scheduled your interview?

The medical at St. Luke's is first come, first serve, you just show up, pay the fee, have the requested documents.

I would think it would be advisable to schedule your interview first and then do the medical. Because if you do the medical and then go to schedule your interview and the only time slot you can get is a month later, then wouldn't you have to go for another medical (since it will have been over 30 days)?

Nope. It will be OK to do the medical early, just that most don't drag it out that far.

Only thing to remember is the visa validity date is tied to the medical date so be aware.
