??Is the Medical exam scheduled by the Consulate?

??Can you get a medical exam before the interview and just take the sealed package with you?
If so the lady in Vladivostok approved hospital said that exam could not be more than 2 weeks before interview
I thought medical exams were good for like 6 months?

My petition was recently approved by both USCIS and NVC. I emailed NVC to confirm the approval and ask for the new number assigned to the case since it was forwarded to Moscow. I received the MOS # and they said the Interview date was Jan 10 2007 at 8am. I know my fiancee needs to have a medical exam before the interview, but we have yet to receive anything from the Consulate in Moscow. Also due to the holiday season i was wondering if she could travel from Khabarovsk to Vladivostok for a medical exam before she even travels to Moscow. But I don't know how the whole process works. If anyone has any experiences please help. Thanks for lookin - Shawn

We did the exam in Moscow, but I think it is similar for timeframes. Make an appointment within a month of when you want the exam. We did it 2 days prior to interview, you might need the extra time if traveling to Moscow after, so within the 2 weeks before going to Moscow.

Make sure you ask when results can be picked up. In Moscow it was same day or next morning at the clinics.
