Date clash between visa interview and medical exam

[hammadahmad 0]

My parents have an immigration visa interview scheduled at the US Embassy in Islamabad on April 16th, 2024. They completed their medical examinations on the 8th of this month. However, my father’s medical results are pending due to a spot found during his chest X-ray, which has led to further sputum testing. The medical facility has scheduled his three-day sputum test from April 15th to 17th, which overlaps with the visa interview date and time. When we informed the medical facility about the overlap, they told us over the phone that this date was provided after consultation with the embassy. However, we have not received any communication from the embassy regarding the cancellation or rescheduling of the visa interview appointment. Therefore, I am unsure if my father should attend the visa interview or the medical test. Additionally, since my father is the principal applicant, I am wondering if my mother, who has cleared her medical test, should appear for the visa interview.

Hello, I hope your parents process goes through smoothly. Would you share the date when your parents case became Documentarily Qualified. I want to see where the backlog is at and figure out how much more my parents would need to wait.

Hello. Hope your dad is okay. I have the same question as the guy above. After nvc approval what is the wait time for an interview? And how did they get the message for medical examinations? Was it through e mail?

we received the appointment letter through email, I was expecting it in mail. The email is comprehensive and gives the detail about approved medical facilities and other relevant information. We have to make a call to medical facility to schedule the appointment.

Hello,

My parents received their interview date in Islamabad. How much time does it take for their medical clearance in Karachi? Interview is in 2 weeks.

@eibaad that was May 2022 but there was a backlog due to COVID, I heard things are more streamlined now. I hope that helps.

@Ahmed1231 Typically it takes a day or two.
