Timing of Manila events

Hypothetically, let's say our embassy interview is on a Friday -

 

Medical has to be completed 2(?) days prior to the interview, so would that be done Tuesday or Wednesday??

Biometrics have to be done how many days prior to interview??

 

Mahalo for your continued help.

Country-specific thread is moved to the Philippines regional forum.

You should do your medical 2 weeks before the interview if possible. I would say no shorter than one week if 2 is not possible. They instituted the separate biometrics appointment after Jaycel did her interview so I can’t tell you first hand but everything I’ve seen is that you can do it up to the day before the interview.

With all delays recently, the best thing you could do is deal with the medical first. If your fiancé is cleared, (not subject for sputum) biometrics can be done any time after she receive her medical results. 

 

Worst case scenario: If applicant is subject for sputum (8-10weeks for the MTB culture results) -- The best course of action is to set her biometrics and interview on or after the 10th week to avoid 221g for pending medical results which could also significantly delay the visa issuance.

 

I've seen cases from the group chats wherein biometrics was captured in the morning then interview in the afternoon.
