What happens if medical exam results not ready in time for K1 interview?

[Corp668 16]

So I am sitting in Warsaw right now with my Russian fiancee and our daughter.  We had the medical tests last week and they were going to call me when the packet was ready for pickup but said it would likely be on Wednesday (today).  I called them today and they told me a further test will be necessary before the doctor can sign off on the medical exam (doesn't matter the details of that).

 

My question is - if my fiancee and daughter go to the appointment tomorrow without the medical docs, what will happen?  I know they won't issue the K1, but will they allow us to have a "follow up" appointment next week or something?  We have been waiting for this appointment since December and the next available on Warsaw's website is not until November.  My fiancee's schengen visa is good through the end of the month.  It was a hassle to get out of Russia for her and getting back will be almost impossible (not to mention Poland wants to stop issuing schengen visas.... we've spent countless thousands of $$ on this and have flights to the USA booked for this weekend (an assumption I know but needed to show departing flight from Europe for Fiancee to get into the country, even then it was a hassle).

 

So the question is, is there any way to get a "follow up" appointment for sometime next week?  I can delay my flights and travel plans but fiancee going back to Russia and waiting 6+ months is not an option.

Normally, if the interview is conducted prior to the completion of the medical exam, then the visa status will be "Refused" until the medical documents arrive.  I would attend the interview unless instructed to do otherwise by the consulate.

Or they could just keep the passport and let you know about passport pick up once they receive the medical report directly from the panel physician or through you visa mail or drop off.

Note that even if medical report was ready last week, it could still take more than a week just to get the passport back with the visa.

Thanks, got medical docs for fiancee... docs office is sending over docs for child tomorrow, hopefully the visa will just issue a little bit delayed.

On your first part, yes I hope they will do just that.  It has been a looooooong road to get this far to have things get delayed at the finish line.

 

On your 2nd point, I booked changeable/cancellable flights in case the visa doesn't get done in time.  Just supposed to be back at work Monday, although this comes first obviously.

 

Thanks for the info.
