In short, interview appointment date first, then you can schedule your medical exams. The medical exam validity has something to do with your visa validity period that's why its the last step in the process.

thanks for clarifying that for me, but we just find a problem today...

We did our deposit payment today and decide to called the doctor in Penang to ask about how the medical exam goes and such..and he tells us that this is the last day he is doing the medical exam for Visa...and my fiancee won't have time to go to KL until after Christmas..(there is only 2 doctor can do exam..really? >>here<<)

I will be there on Christmas Eve..so we were aiming to get out interview done during that time..

and i also wonder, can we only schedule interview 3 weeks in advance? I was trying to see if there is any availability on week of Dec 28th, but it's all grey out, see attachment, even next March and so on...

Sorry for all the whiling, everything was so smooth and suddenly the doctor just abandoned us...sigh

oh hey, we in the same boat i guess..

well, even march or april or may is still grey one. So what I'm thinking is you only have 3 weeks in advance to schedule if I assumed correctly.

For example, it's Jan 12, 2017 today, you can only schedule the week of Jan 31st, 2017

but of course, that's just base on my observation, i'm not sure..

and yes hopefully we can get this together it's really frustrating...

Lol, yes. Only two now I guess. I was hoping to do mine in Kuching, because I live in Sibu Sarawak. But they no longer do medical exams for US visa. So I have to fly from Sibu to KL for my medical exam. With my two young children. Lol. Oh the adventures we have this week. Anyway, the medical exam was a breeze. (Thanks rachealwsw!) but as rachealwsw and the nurse said to me, the medical exams will be ready in 10 days. If you have already picked the date, you can only change your appointment 2 times. I read that some couples change their interview date because they couldn't make it in time with the medical exams.

And I also read somewhere in other countries thread that the dates are greyed out because the embassy needs to collect the fees payment. Or something like that. Some people just grab the given date, then change it later. You can do that but you won't know when the next available date or slot will show up. Remember you can only change it twice! Plus there's the petition expiry date to worry about. One couple got their application denied because their petition expired. I will try to find the links for you about what I said in here. So hard replying from my mobile phone.

So you went to KL from Kuching twice? my window is still showing only those two options...I email to the gov. hopefully they can adjust something...

December is the busiest month for my fiance since shes a dancer a lot of christmas show...there is no way she can't go to KL twice in this short period of time especially the report gonna takes 10 days..

And I hope it was the payment things that holding up..cause she did the cash payment last friday..hopeful it goes through tomorrow

thanks for you help!!!

i agree with this. i think they only give us 3 weeks in advance. maybe you can wait until January and pick the date? just a suggestion

yes, i will go again next week. i have butterflies in my tummy just thinking about that. the date is getting closer...

I just received my instructions from the embassy yesterday! so relieved! I have a question tho - for birth cert, my cert is in malay entirely. if i go and get it extracted from the national registry,l will i be able to use that for my interview?

[mslite 0]

maybe get it translated, just in case?

this Embassy information is very helpful. my certificate is in English (Sarawakian Old certificate, lol from the last of the British era hehe)

Note: The consular officer may ask for additional information, such as photographs and other proof that the relationship with your U.S. citizen fiancé(e) is genuine. Documents in foreign languages, other than the language of the country in which the application takes place, should be translated. Applicants should take to the visa interview clear, legible photocopies of civil documents and translations, such as birth and divorce certificates. Original documents and translations will be returned.

• According to this, Bahasa Malaysia should be okay because it is the official language of Malaysia (country in which the application takes place).

I made a boo boo when i paid my visa fees- keyed in the ref-1 number wrongly! trying to sort it out with the US embassy now hopefully it gets expedited. Sigh so silly of me.

MsLite - all the best for your interview tomorrow <3
