"

Before Your Visa Interview

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Immigrant visa applicants must complete (schedule and attend) their medical examinations with authorized physicians before their scheduled interview dates. If you complete your medical examination after your visa interview, processing of your immigrant visa case will be delayed until the U.S. Embassy or Consulate has received your medical examination results. Therefore, applicants are strongly encouraged to complete their medical exams prior to their visa interviews. A list of authorized physicians for the U.S. Embassy or Consulate where you will apply is provided in the dropdown list below."

Good morning, My question is can the medical be done after the interview?

No.. the medical has to be done before the interview. Some people go after they have done the medical but do not have the results ready and they are put in AP until they get the results which delays the case. Better get it done before the interview if you can or ask for a reschedule

Will the delay be substantial or just days/weeks?

Why do you want to wait to do the medical?

After the consulate get your medical exam result, they will process it after several weeks or months. It depends on the busy status of their consulate.

 

No one will know so it is better to finish all the requirements before the interview.
