Getting in front of sputum test

[Cdk 0]

We are going to have to do the sputum test due to a previous condition. My question is, since we know that and know it’s a 2+ month turn around, can we go get the sputum test done in advance of the medical exam so the results are already in and upon passing the medical, we can move to interview? This is in the Philippines.

You can get the entire medical exam done in advance, including sputum testing if Saint Luke's deems it necessary.  Just be aware that in sputum test cases the medical expires 90 days after the results of the test.  Meaning, the applicant must interview, receive their visa and enter the US within that window of time or the entire medical must be repeated.  It makes it a little risky doing it without an actual interview date scheduled.
