Looking for comments.  So my spouse interview at the Jakarta Embassy was scheduled by National Visa Center for July 18th, 2023.  Yesterday, my spouse attended the medical exam and because of prior TB infection they always make him do a sputum test which takes three months in Indonesia for the results.  Rather than canceling the interview and then reschedule, I am leaning towards having him go to the interview and just have the embassy hold the decision until the Medical results are delivered and then if all is well they can send him the passport to the pick up location after.  Thoughts?  Thanks

That's what I would do.

I would definitely keep the interview appointment.  Different consulate (Auckland) and situation (not TB-related), but my fiancé's medical hadn't arrived to the consulate for his interview.  It didn't measurably delay things.  YMMV.

I share this information as it may be useful to others in Indonesia.  My spouse did go to the scheduled interview yesterday, (knowing that the medical results were to sent to the Embassy yet,) so in the pre check process once you enter the Embassy and speak to the attendant in regards to all the paper that you bring, eventually, they realized that they have not received the medical exam from the official hospital and told him to leave and that once they receive the medical exams results they will reschedule the interview.  Thus, in Indonesia if you do not have your medical test in the Embassy, at least for a CR1 visa, they will not interview you.
