HELLO,

CALLED NVC TODAY, FOUND OUT THEY SCHEDULED MY SPOUSES MEDICAL EXAM LAST WEEK (SHE LIVES IN BOSNIA I AM IN THE US). THE INTERVIEW IS ON JUNE 1ST, I AM AFRAID SHE WILL NOT RECEIVE HER MEDICAL EXAM LETTER IN DUE TIME, SINCE THE POST TAKES FOREVER THERE. DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THIS IS ENOUGH TIME FOR HER TO COMPLETE THE EXAM AND IF THE INTERVIEW LETTER IS COMING FROM THE UNITED STATES OR IF IT IS SENT FROM THE LOCAL US EMBASSY TO THE INDIVIDUAL? IT WILL TAKE MORE THAN A MONTH FOR HER TO GET IT IF ITS COMING FROM THE US.

MY SECOND QUESTION IS DO I HAVE TO ATTEND THE INTERVIEW WITH HER?

THANKS A LOT ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!

HELLO,

IS IT POSSIBLE TO COMPLETE THE MEDICAL EXAM BEFORE THE INTERVIEW LETTER HAS ARRIVED ( THE INTERVIEW IS SCHEDULED FOR JUNE 1ST) BUT WE WANT TO GET THE MEDICAL EXAM OUT OF THE WAY ASAP BECAUSE THE LETTER MIGHT BE DELAYED IN POST. MY SPOUSE CALLED THE RESPONSIBLE DOCTOR AND HE SAID IT CAN BE DONE BEFORE THE LETTER AND THAT SHE SHOULD BRING ALL OTHER DOCUMENTATION ( PASSPORT ETC)

THANKS A LOT!

I don't know about Bosnia-Herzegovina, but here in the UK I was able to schedule my medical before I'd even received an interview date. I just took along with me something that confirmed my case number and the visa class I had applied for (on top of the other required documents).

Obviously these things could vary from country to country, so I would suggest calling the panel physician you intend to go to as soon as you can.

UK is one of the few places you can do that because of DCF. Most countries cannot. :)

Does your spouse have email? Then she should have also received an email with all this information. If she didn't then I suggest you forward a copy to her.
