Ksenia has not received anything from the U.S. Embassy in Moscow, and her interview is scheduled for Nov. 8th (just 3 weeks away).

We are wondering if she can get what she needs from the Medicina Clinic (medical exam requirements) without first providing them with something from the Embassy...?

Thanks, John!

By the way, Ksenia lives in Korolev, a Moscow suburb. It is usually no problem for her to go into Moscow at any time.

We were in the same situation that you are currently in. Irina finally got packet 3 about 2 weeks before the interview. What we did was use the US Embassy website and gather all the information we needed.

They list 5 different medical clinics. Simply call one of the clinics and set up an appointment. No documents needed from the US Embassy. You will need to provide 2 passport size photos for the medical exam.

Remember that you can work on the other forms now instead of waiting for the letter from the US Embassy. You can prepare the forms DS-230, DS-156, and DS-156K now without waiting for the letter. good luck to you.

I just read that on October 25th the Moscow embassy goes electronic on many forms and they will not accept the old forms after that date

YMMV

Only the DS-156. Make sure you go to https://evisaforms.state.gov/ds156.asp

Fill it out, generate the PDF version that has a barcode.

The embassy called Tanja telling her to use the new version and not the Russian version they sent in the packet.
