Confusion about medical appointment

[Pinball1921 4]

Good morning. I have looked, but have not found an answer to my question. I am the USC and my wife is in Panama right now. Our I-130 was just approved this week and I'm waiting for it to be moved to NVC. I think I have that part all figured out. However, when and how do we schedule for a medical appointment prior to an interview? Or does NVC do that for us? Also, when does she need to have a fingerprint appointment? And how do we do that? I know a lady from USCIS told me on that happened during the I-130 part, however, my I-130 was expedited after only a month. Thanks for the help in advance.

NVC does not book medical appointments. Information can be found here though it may not be up-to-date. http://www.visajourney.com/consulates/index.php?ctry=Panama&cty=Panama

That says that medical must be done 6 days before interview. Does that mean at least 6 days? I mean can we not do the medical part before the interview is scheduled? Because we have expedited the I-130 and expect to expedite the nvc part (once I get the case number) I'd like to get things done as soon as possible. Thanks.

You need to call the medical place you will go to and ask what is the requirement to get a medical. Some countries you have to have the interview letter some don't.
