Doing Medical Exam before scheduling Interview?

[dattilotech 0]

Hello;

As we were waiting for information to be sent from the Manila embassy, as instructed, we realized that this was probably not the step to do. We've had our case no. sense 5-2-13. I would like to have my finance get her medical exam first. I think this can be the longest thing to wait on if there is a problem, & that would allow us to keep working, while I finish preparing & sending the things that I'll be sending her in the mail. This would be like additional forms we fill out, the complete entry that I sent to get our petition approved, & evidence of support, etc. etc.

My question is can we get our medical started & done, if we have the case no., & then set the interview up after she receives all the information from me. I know ideally they might like the interview date set up and all, but I'm thinking this really isn't a necessity. I'd like to just focus first on getting past the medical & have that done. Meanwhile I'll finish & send the booklet on my part to her. Then she can set up & do the interview.

Also; my finance says she needs to call the embassy to set up an appointment. From what I've read, I'm thinking if we have the Case no., we can move forward online and set up the medical exam, which I understand is a first come first serve basis.

Thanks, in advance for any input;

once you have new case number you can do medical exam and then you can schedule interview online!!! thats what my fiance did.. i gave him our new case number he went to do medical and didn't pass it, now we have to wait for 2 months for the results and then have interview..

You have to wait 2 months for the results of the medical? or to take it again? Sorry, i did not understand and happened to be wondering the same question.

What happens if you dont pass the medical, will they give you another chance? What can make them denied a medical exam? Im thinking any life threathening condition that can be contaigious...am i right? or something else?

If the beneficiary failed the x-ray (doctors saw spots or scars on the lungs, x-ray is not clear) they will have the beneficiary do a sputum test and they will culture the specimen and the result of this test comes out only after 2 months. If results of the test is negative then interview can proceed otherwise it can cause further delays ( additional 8 months or more) for treatment then re-doing the medical exam.

At least that is the case here in Manila. Not sure in other embassies.

Now that you have the MNL #, you schedule the interview (after paying the fee at BPI) then you do the medical.

If you sit and wait for the embassy to mail the instructions letter it could be a very long wait... as many never get it.

At the bottom of my post is my signature with a link to the K-1 process for Manila, there is a link to the embassy instructions letter a ++

You have to schedule your interview appointment to the embassy before you go to your medical examination. Also the medical will last for 3 months only and the embassy don't like that for long thats why they are requiring at least a week before the interview. And the ST. Lukes will ask the interview dates and appointment letter to her so better get that done first. As long as you have the case number you are ready to pay anyway.

And for the long wait, well its up to your fiance if she have suspicious Xray which is the number one enemy of applicant Hehehe. But if your fiance is clear only 2 days she will be release and ready to go on to interview.

Goodluck
