My fiance has to fly from Fortaleza to Recife to get her medical. It's hard to believe that a city as large as Fortaleza does not have a doctor certified by the American Consulate. I'm concerned about 2 things. How long will it take to complete the medical and how long till the doctor has the sealed envelope? Does she have to pick up the envelope herself? This is crucial because if it takes a couple of weeks to get the envelope then she is going to have to fly back to Recife just to pick it up which is a waste of money and time. Can the doctor send it to her or can she have someone who lives in Recife pick it up for her?

I think it depends on the clinic, on the city or on the country. I had my medical exam in Bucharest, Romania and I got the results on the same day. They knew that I wasn’t local and wasn’t able to come again on the other day for the results, so they just asked me to wait for 4 hours in order to get my medical results on the same day.

It is very common that there is only one medical clinic authorized for this in the country. In Ukraine you have the medical exam in the morning and have the results same day after 3pm. It varies by country. Ask in the latin American forum for specific answers for Brazil

Someone who has gone through Brazil will be in the best position to answer you but most countries have just one auth medical clinic and you can imagine that in the UK, you have to travel from all over to London just for the medical but the lucky thing is the medical is forwarded to the embassy.

This post shows up on the Brazil portal page so I'm sure it is being seen by Brazilian immigrants. It looks like I have to call the doctor's officed. fortunately there are 2 doctors in Recife, better chance of having one of the doctors help out.

This would be a good question to ask in the brazil forum you'd likely get better answers there,

Good luck to her and you!!
