Hi Vjers!!!

I am scheduled for the 16th of July for interview at US Embass-Manila. I am from out of town specifically Cebu. I would like to get some of your inputs and hope you can shed light to this matter. Is it possible for me to just be in Manila days before the interview and have my medical at St Luke's? Is it possible? Has anyone done this before? I find it very impractical to be going back and forth specially now that we are experiencing typhoons. Please I need your thought on this matter

Thank you very much

As long as your medical is fine, then yes, it is possible.

Good Luck!

Hi. Yes, its possible for you to stay in Manila in just a few days or week. Since you have the interview sched on July 16, you can go to the st.lukes website for your online appointment. Give atleast 4 days before your interview sched at USEM. You can add me if you want to asked more things about the medical sched. By the way, my dads hometown is in Bohol.

Yes, but your medical will take two days, and then it might take a few days after that for it to arrive at the US Embassy. So you should assume you might have to be in Manila a week, not just a few days.

I have been down this route and tried to push for efficiency only to meet with disappointment. Theoretically you could get your medical done in one day (has been known to happen) and then walk the results over to the Embassy yourself for an afternoon interview and wiz bang – fly in one morning and be out that evening with both out of the way.

Theoretically….

But as a practical matter it is safer to schedule two full days for your medical and then plan on your interview being two or three days later. Often is it easer and cheaper to fly home for a few days and then return for the interview.

Don’t try and push or rush your schedule. This is a long and time consuming process. Relax and accept that it will not go perfectly, but it will go.

Yes, it's possible. Many go for their medicals around a week before their interview date. However, be aware that you can't have your medicals during your menstrual period because they will refuse you. So, factor that in as well.
