First day is relatively quick. It's the second day that tends to be a beast when it comes to waiting.

I thought the first day was the bad one. That's good to know, I will just drop her off. I'll just be happy to get it done and them CFO on Friday.

Thanks!

My fiancé went around 1pn on a Wednesday and was done in less than one hour on day one.....

That sounds good, I have read sometimes it's better in the pm.

I have heard Monday and Tuesday are the busiest and some line up around 4 am waiting to get in. I guess they travel during the weekend or they just like to fall in line.....

Thanks for the info!

Has anyone done the medical on Monday and if so would the first day be doable at 1pm?

If not I could shorten my side trip to Tagatay.

What about CFO on Monday? Same problem?

If you don't have children who need the med, you can go on Thursday or Friday and get a shorter line. The reason is that children have a different TB test, one that requires them to come back in exactly two days. So that makes Thu and Fri adults only and therefore a shorter line.

My fiance, son and I went on a Wednesday morning (April 1) and she was done in about 3 hours. Her son (K-2) was another story!! I thought I read that they limit the number of people that can be seen each day to 300. Not sure if that would be factor in arriving at 1 PM.

Cfo on a monday is no problem since it is by appointment.

Medical on a monday is not advisable (i did it. It sucks)

Do it on a different day if you can. Thursday :)

Is it possible to get it done arriving at 1 pm on Monday?

I could change the days, but I'm trying to go on a trip Tuesday evening if it's possible. Rather have one bad day and get it over with.

Worst case I can change CFO from Friday to Monday and do medical Thursday/Friday.

Is it possible to get it done arriving at 1 pm on Monday? No one can say for sure but from other's the answer is yes.... a good possibility. You will need Tuesday to finish your vaccines. It's not unusual if you end the day after 5.

I could change the days, but I'm trying to go on a trip Tuesday evening if it's possible. Rather have one bad day and get it over with.

Worst case I can change CFO from Friday to Monday and do medical Thursday/Friday. My opinion is that you do Thurs/Friday for medical and not add the pressure to your schedule and do CFO on Tuesday.

I'll stop by as its on the way to the hotel and if it's too crazy I can do it at the end of the week as I don't leave until Saturday. I was trying to go to Tagatay before Friday. But I might have to do a day trip there instead.

Thanks for all the comments!
