K1 Medical Exam and Interview

[Inc 1]

Hello everyone. 

My case is "READY" and I just paid the fee this morning, so probably tomorrow I will be able to book an interview appointment. 

I already have a medical appointment booked, cause I was able to do it online without an interview booked. The earliest one was august 21st. 

My question now is: 

Let's say there's an interview opening before that date, so like in a few weeks for example, am I gonna have to book a later one? One that's gonna be after the 21st of august? Or can I just have my interview before the medical? 

And how far apart from each other should those two dates be in the first place? 
 

My embassy will be Frankfurt, Germany.

It’s in your best interest to do the medical exam prior to the interview. Doing the interview without the exam is putting you at risk for being stuck in AP and can take several days, weeks or months.

The processing of the fee takes a couple days, so you may not be able to book your interview appointment right away. With the waitlist option online you should be able to get an earlier appointment when someone else cancels theirs. I’d recommend using the app and enabling push notifications. 
 

if you’re not able to get an earlier medical appointment it’ll be fine. But I’ve heard it can take a few weeks after the medical for everything to be done if the medical is not done at least a few days before the interview. 
 

I just recently scheduled my interview and was able to get an appointment one week later. And there were plenty of other available slots. So I’d recommend holding off on the interview until you’ve done the medical.
