Hello All,

My spouses K3 was approved in Dec and is now in the US with me.

We decided to let both the K3 and CR1 keep moving (you can see from our timeline that they were both approved very close to each other).

K3 was the quickest option for us - especially as the I130 was slowed down at the NVC by the Holidays!

We were also advised that returing back for the CR1 would be quicker than AOS/EAD - which it looks like it has been!

Well now her interview has been scheduled in London for March 26th, we recieved Packet 4 but nothing regarding the medical.

Do we need to have a 2nd medical?? I can find any info regarding this.

We've tried calling the NVC and they pass us on to the London info line whcih we can't call from the US. Also called Knightsbridge doctors - they said call the embassy!

Please need any help! We can't be the 1st people going through this?

Thanks so much :) for any help.

I know people in Canada who have done this were able to buy an additional copy of the medical exam, I would suggest contacting the physician who did the first exam to inquire about this.

Good luck & Congrats :)

Hello,

As you can see my K3 and CR1 interview is only a month apart so of course i'll wait for my CR1 instead. I still attended the K3 interview because I was only notified 2 days before my K3 interview, all docs and fees are paid for the K3 so might as well go to the interview. The CO knew that next month I have a CR1 interview already, it shows on their system, I've asked him if I need to do the medical again since i've done it already for the K3, they said that "No need as the medical exam is valid for 1 year" this is what the CO from Manila Embassy said.

Hope I was able to help. Good Luck on the upcoming interview.
