Medical appointment was just canceled!

[melarnt 0]

We were all set. Just focusing on the interview paperwork. Then....we received an email stating that the only Doctor that is eligible to perform the medical in Stockholm was ill and in the hospital, not to return.

I feel terrible for the doctor and hope that he is alright. We were referred to another doctor, but they are not answering their phone or emails and we are not in Sweden right now. Our original appt was on 6/25 and the interview is 6/27.

We cant get in touch with any doctors in Sweden or Norway. We did get in touch with the doctor in Denmark and made an appt....the only one they had....but, it is on Friday, the day AFTER the interview.

I cant call the embassy, because they only will communicate through email and they havent responded to the email I sent last night.

Are we able to do the medical after the interview? My fiance will have to fly to Denmark without a passport or any other ID. Is that even possible? Can he make a copy? How much trouble are we in? We cant reschedule this interview. We will lose so much money on the tickets.

Please help to ease my mind . Tell me this will work out.

Thank you

I can't imagine you're the only people in this boat - the doctor being out must mean there's a bunch of people suddenly unable to complete their medical before their interview. I'd contact the embassy (by phone!) and ask them what they advise - they're bound to have been asked 10 times today already! I know you've said you tried to email them, but this is too important to not call them.

I know, I am sure many people are affected by this . Just terrible.. I have tried to call them in the past and the receptionist says, she is sorry, but they only will accept emails. She will not put me through. Also, today is a holiday for the Embassy and they are not open. I thought I would call and sweet talk my way through...only to find that out.

I think we may be in trouble and I really want to cry right now.

Check out my reply in the Scandinavians thread. You should be ok with a medical and results after the interview.
