My fiancee got his packet 4 yesterday and there was a date set in there for him to go have his medical appointment. However it's only 14 days before his interview and I worry that may be cutting it a little close to getting everything in on time. It says it takes 7 days to get back the medical report. That would mean he would have to basically go straight out and make copies in order to get it to the VFS before his interview. I know those papers only have to be in sometime in the 7 days before his interview but I'm not a last minute person lol. Not to mention what happens if it comes in late or there is some mail holiday that makes it take longer. I also searched the forum and didn't find anyone else who received a scheduled medical appointment in their packet 4.

FYI

- consulate - New Delhi, India

- filing K-1

January 2009 - K-1 Denied by the consulate

January 2011 - Moved to India - Yikes!

October 2011 - DCF filing rejected by overzealous employee at the embassy

December 2011 - Tourist visa denied (not surprising)

March 2012 - CR1/IR1 process started

May 1, 2012 - RFE and some of our information was entered into the computer wrong by the CSC

Ya, that's something new about recieving scheduled medical appointment in packet 4. I'm surprised.

I highly doubted it takes 7 days to get the medical results back. It's usually the same day or the next day. Tell your fiancee to call the medical facility and find out about the procedure.

My wife is getting her medical done and she will get her results the same day or next day the most.

Best of luck with everything :thumbs:

Hi Ms_jinga_lala,

When we got our packet 4 there was a scheduled medical appointment in the letter too. We just made our own and went to the Dr we chose and it was fine, you don't have to follow the scheduled medical appointments...not even sure why they put that in there. There's a thread in the Asia:South forum from when a bunch of us went through the India K-1 process together, it's called Packet3/Packet 4 questions. Check it out...there's actually a lot of good stuff in there...as well as the name of the Dr. that Parul used for her medical, which we ending up using and got the results back the next day.

Hope this helps :)

~Jen

Most of the Medical results are given next day. First day they go and give blood and the next day they will get the results and based on their age, vaccinations are given on the second day. This is what happened to my parents in Hyderabad.

Thank you!! That's very helpful. So should I tell him to expect to stay near the hospital for a couple of days? He has to travel to get there but has family sort of close to half way there. So he would be going with family to the hospital as well.
