Vonicks,

The medical could be done earlier than the scheduled date. If i were u I will do it earlier because sometimes the ST.Luke's people will asked for a retest just like what happen to my friend .She had a lot of sputum and x-ray and she nearly missed her interview because she went there for a week only. Just my opinion though.. God bless.

It is advisable to do it in advance or earlier just to be on the safe side. There might be problems with the medical and may take more than 2 days. St. Lukes also need to forward the results to USEM and I'm not sure how many days that takes.

It is better to have early medical, at least 2 weeks before the interview. It's better that you have enough time for the results just in case they find any findings that may need to be further evaluated. Good luck!

I think you can go in early once you get your appointment letter

No need your appointment letter. Just the NOA2, pictures and passport.

My wife and amak did theirs almost 2 months early!

All visa applicants, regardless of age, need to complete a medical examination at the St. Luke’s Extension Clinic (SLEC) before the visa interview. Applicants are advised to have their medical examinations done at least one week before their interview appointment at the U.S. Embassy in Manila.

What should I bring to my medical examination?

Appointment letter (you may print out a copy of your appointment letter from the appointment page on our website)

Appropriate medical examination fees ($145 on peso equivalent)

Passport (valid for at least 6 months)

Two colored pictures (2 inches x 2 inches) with a white background

So does this mean that even if you have a Medical Appointment, say, on December 19, 2007 and an Interview Schedule on Jan. 3, 2008, you can have a medical exam earlier than December 19? Say for example Dec. 12?

yap the sooner the better so when u have any problem u will not rush into ur interview more on if ur bringing any kids with u , th mediacl of the kids take 3days coz of the skin test. the medical is valid 1 month prior to interview date.

Thank you for the info. I was thinking that St. Luke really follows the date stated in the appoinment letter. I thought they are strict on that and would only entertain you on the date reflected on your appoinment letter.

Thanks again. :-)

Yes a lot of applicants did that... But I didn't do it cuz I'm too far from Manila.
