Hi everybody,

So now after I sent packet 3 one month ago and waiting for packet 4 or the interview date specifically to go on and take the medical exams. On the US embassy website ( and as everybody else recommends ) they advise applicants to take the medical 3 weeks before the interview but I'm afraid to fall into the trap where they might not leave enough time before the interview to do the medical and then it'll be held in the AP and delayed some more.

I also called 2 of their certified physicians and both of them said the results last 6 months:

The Immigration and Nationality Act requires that all immigrant visa applicants and certain nonimmigrant visa applicants undergo a medical examination prior to receiving a visa. The medical examination should be done by one of the authorized physicians listed below. Physicians will refer you to a syphilis testing laboratory. Applicants are advised to schedule their medical examinations 3 weeks prior to the date of the visa interview. Please bring the results to your visa interview. Please do NOT open your results!

IMPORTANT NOTE

The validity of your visa will be limited to the length of validity of the Tuberculosis test in your medical report. Travel clearances are valid for 6 months from the time the evaluation is complete for applicants who have no Tuberculosis Classification or only Class B2 TB or Class B3 TB. Travel clearances are valid for 3 months from the time the evaluation is complete for applicants who are Class B1 TB, Pulmonary or Class B1 TB, Extrapulmonary. Applicants who do not travel within the clearance period will need to restart the tuberculosis screening process. Any applicant diagnosed with pulmonary or laryngeal tuberculosis who needs treatment is not cleared to travel until completion of successful treatment, regardless of the diagnostic criteria.

What do you guys advise me
