Medical Exam prior 2 National Visa Center Appointment

[shedn 0]

Can the medical exam, in Manila is required t be a St Luke's Medical Center Extension, be taken prior to the National Visa Center Appointment Letter? My Fiancee lives in CEBU so it a flight to get to Manila to the only Authorized Medical Exam center. I was hoping to get that done prior to the National Visa Center Appointment Letter. The US Manila embassy site http://manila.usembassy.gov/wwwh3218.html , says the exam is good for 6 months and also says to bring the letter or print out email sent by the National Visa Center. It says the Medical exam center will forward the results to the embassy.

I was hoping i could do the exam now. We are 2.5 months into the process, and i would have my finacee do this over the next 6 weeks whihc should put us about 1-2 months from the interview date, the average is about 5 months, and i had our package very fully prepared and reviewed.
