I also received my interview date on July 19 for 09/08  (September 8 ) - in Frankfurt.

 

Can I check if anyone knows, the only medical exam slot in Germany left is on September 6th, the clinic says it's ok, because they can send the results to NVC after my interview.... But I'm worried.. anyone got any advice?

Can I do it in another country?

I'd search here or call the embassy to ask.

 

Here in Warsaw, we scheduled our medical a month ahead and my wife's doctor told my wife it takes him at least 3 days to get everything sent to embassy if there is no need for any retests. I watched a YT video (link below) where a girl had a situation similar to this. They didn't approve her visa the first time, but they gave her a yellow slip b/c they didn't have the medical results yet. I mean you could be lucky, and they really will make it within 2 days, but more likely than not, they'll give you a yellow slip that lets you come back and just give them your passport for visa processing when they finally get the medical docs.
Another possibility is calling the embassy to reschedule the interview. This would be safest if you decide you really want to get the visa on the first try.

Everyone welcome and a huge thanks to the amazing community here. It's reading comments on this board that answered some very important questions for me without which we'd be lost today!
