Medical exam trip time and Sputnik vaccine issue

[Steve2022 41]

We just got our Interview Letter after almost 4 months of waiting after DQ.  IR1 visa.  Unfortunately my wife got the Sputnik vaccine, which is not WHO approved.  So what should we do about that?

Now we're planning the trip for my wife to visit Manila early, before 2 weeks before the interview.  How much time should she schedule for that?  Is 3 days enough?  For example:

Day 1: Fly to Manila, travel to hotel near SLEC, and sleep.  (please make hotel recommendations, if you know)

Day 2: go to appointment

Day 3: go to rest of appointment to finish medical

Day 3: Travel back to airport and Fly home to Cagayan de Oro. (is there time to do this, or should we plan for her to fly home on Day 4?)

If its been six months since she got her sputnik shot, she can get a booster dose of Pfizer or any other WHO approved covid jab. Not sure about your other queries. Maybe someone else can hop in to better guide you.

On your Day2 (Medical Day 1), if she is clear for immunization, request for an early day appointment advise them of the night flight.  

If it was me, I will plan Plan flight on Day 4.. the Medical Day 2 is quite random - we read people's experiences that they were there from 2 hours to 11 hours.  Some people in our group chat had a 1pm vaccine appointment, ended up getting it at 7 at night.  It really depends how many people are they are servicing.  Just my thoughts..

Thank you.  We just planned for day 4 travel home.  That way I don't have to worry about her traveling at night.
