Is it possible to get a medical in SLEC even if your pd is not yet current? Yes i am aware of the 6 months validity. i just want to prepare if ever i have to do a sputum test.

Don't know where SLEC is, but you usually need a confirmed interview date to be able to book an immigration medical - and you have to take your interview letter to the medical too. But if you can clarify which country you're asking about, hopefully those in the know will be able to tell you for sure.

SLEC would let you take your medical early once you were documentarily qualified but before you have an interview scheduled by signing a waiver that you know of the consequences.  But that is becoming risky even for spousal cases since US Embassy Manila is now developing significant backlogs in CR1/CR2 and is not scheduling them in any kind of coherent or predictable manner.  It was probably never a good idea to take the medical early for family cases since it's really hard to predict when you might get an interview. If your PD is not even current you would not have the documentarily complete letter they would want even with a waiver.
