Medical exam question

[Willowycandelo 1]

After having read some of the discussions on here, I am getting the idea that the medical exam needs to be done within a certain time, i.e. close to the interview date. Is that true? What is the time frame? Or can my fiance do it now even though we have only recently received NOA1?

The Peruvian Embassy website doesn't say anything about this.

Thank you!

This really depends on your embassy. You'll need to visit the forums for your fiance's embassy and read a guide through the process there.

IE. Ireland (if i remember correctly) allows the medical to be booked and completed ahead of time. London however requires you to bring proof your case has reached the embassy and asks for an NVC number.

The medical is good for one year from the time it was completed, however your challenge starts with being able to book it at all. I am not familiar enough with the Peruvian embassy.

I'm not sure about Peru's requirements, but when we got our K-1 Visa, the expiration date on the visa was six months from the date of his medical...not the interview. We had submitted our original medical in August 2013, but he decided to get a new medical in December 2013--just prior to the interview (as we heard they might require a new medical). He was approved in February 2014, and his K-1 visa expired in June 2014.

The medical also has to be within one year of filing for AOS after the wedding or you will be required to do another in the U.S.
