Medical is good for one year. After that you need another one. You will be fine until the end of this year.

Medical examinations performed by non-authorized physicians will not be accepted. The medical examination includes a review of the applicant's medical history, physical examination, chest X-ray, and blood tests. The physical examination will at least include examination of the eyes, ears, nose and throat, extremities, heart, lungs, abdomen, lymph nodes, skin, and external genitalia. The authorized physician will either give the applicant the medical examination results to hand-carry to the visa interview or will send the results directly to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate.

Yes that's true if he followed the instructions for the authorized physicans and used his letter for interview to obtain an appointment with the authorized physicans he's fine if not he will have to redo it with the correct physicians.... BUT the medical expires one year after the exam after that you have to do it all again using the correct process.

Great Question and Great Answers! I was just wondering this myself since my fiance is having his medical done on Jan 19 but his interview isn't until Feb 23rd. Happy to know that there will be no issues getting it now.

Moved from Progress Reports to Process & Procedures. OP's question is about the validity of medical exam results which makes it more germane to Process & Procedures.
