Hi,

I just got case complete yesterday.

Should I book my medical now or wait until I get an interview date?

Is the visa valid 6 months from the date of the interview or the medical??

Thanks

This is something that I'm considering at the moment and with only a day separating our CC's I figure that our interview dates will be fairly similar too.

[My concern, however, is not with the expiry term of the visa but the practicality of fitting in a medical prior to interview (I'm still in the US making the most of the VWP!). I'm hazarding a guess at 6 weeks from CC to interview, which would factor an interview around the middle of September!]

If you were able to book and attend a medical tomorrow (for example) are you not planning on visiting the US prior to 8th February 2016, I should have thought the relatively short possible time between medical and interview make the issue of late booking a medical a fairly moot point for most people?

To answer your question, I'd personally feel happier getting the medical done sooner rather than later just for the piece of mind of ticking it off the 'to-do' list - but I'm not sure how easy it is for you to trek to and from London, getting there from rural Devon using only public transport is a proper pain especially doing it twice in the space of a month!!

My main concern was if I booked a medical and then didn't hear anything regarding an interview for a while.

I live in London so getting to the medical/interview is no issue for me.

I've decided to wait until I have an interview date, as I would rather my medical results didn't arrive at the embassy until my case has arrived.

I've been looking at other peoples timelines and it seems you get about a months notice of the interview date, which should be plenty of time to arrange a medical I think. (Although not sure how booked up the doctor gets...)
