When my wife had her medical testing done during her green card and even during her citizenship, (while I understand that the time, process, location etc was separate for each), the medical testing centers particularly stressed on the fact that the person should bring alongwith them the original letter issued by the Embassy stating that their interview date was scheduled and that they should go ahead with the fingerprinting and the medical.

My wife has a question for you : Have you received a letter by mail from Embassy that you can carry with you, to Panchsheel, or, would they conduct the medical test, based on a photocopy of the email, or a letter issued via email? In other words, will an email copy produced by us at the location be acceptable by Panchsheel and fingerprinting department ?

Very interesting question.

When was ur wife's medical test done ?? Recently they have stopped sending P4 letters over snail mail (this information i got from folks over here). That means interview letter (which i guess is a p4) from NVC should do the job

Guys fetch some info ... Btw i have it scheduled on Monday so lets see (well no email from NVC yet. Hoping by tomorrow we should get)

While her medical testing for greencard was done back in April 2008, her medical testing was re-done for citizenship in November 2013.

But if you have information of recent times, where they have stopped issuing paper letters via mails, then that would help me and all others save time, by not wasting moments.. waiting for such a letter to appear in mail before medical and fingerprinting could be scheduled.

Do keep us posted on your experience on Monday.. Looking forward to hear from you.

On another note: My wife also plans on visiting Delhi again to appear with me over my interview, but she too is highly confused about the duration to buy tickets for. Has anybody got any updated information about the approximate time that Delhi Embassy takes between the immigration interview and actual handover of passport after it ? She wishes to fly together on my maiden flight to USA just so that she can also be present with me for my immigration interview at the port-of-entry (airport immigration interview) in USA.

She isnt sure if one week would be sufficent or should it be more than that ? Does anyone know anybody who very recently had spousal immigration interview by Delhi Embassy? She has to notify her office about her trip to India ahead of time and make arrangements in office prior to her leaving. If her stay in India goes beyond her stated timeframe, all hell would break loose at her office. Any information available ?

From what I have read on VJ in recent weeks/months.. the Embassy used to send an interview letter\P4 package by snail mail in the past. But now, simply an email goes out (perhaps the current-day equivalent of a P4 package).

If so, then an applicant has no choice but to print the email that contains applicant details and interview date to take to the medical and biometrics.

Can someone corroborate this?

I am curious too about the number of days from interview to passport pickup.

No, certainly not mandatory for USC to be present for the interview. I assume most USCs don't.

It's just nice and reassuring if they can.. to support the spouse. And in borderline cases where VO has doubts, USC spouse presence could be helpful.
