Advise needed for medical

[gayle blue 4]

i just received an email from NVC about my case complete...and told me i can go for my medical anytime.

But the problem is that i just had fever and flu and now i have colds. My throat doesnt feel ok...ask ko lang po kung magpamedical na ba ako even though i had bad feelings sa throat ko and a bad colds? or wag muna as it might affect the result of my medical na may makita silang something wrong sa throat ko?

salamat po

I always heard you should make an appointment to get your medical 2 weeks before your interview. Hopefully you will be well by then.

Have you been to your doctor? Or are you starting to feel better?

I doubt that the flu or a cold will have any affect on the medical, but I do understand that it's better to error to the side of caution.

USEM recommends doing the medical between 7 and 10 days before the interview. Have you received an interview date from NVC yet? If not relax, take care of yourself and get better, then when you know your interview date do the medical.

St. Luke's:

http://www.slec.ph/us-visa-applicants.shtml#required-docs

Have copies of passport bio page, copy of NVC letter when MNL# is assigned (I added this as SLEC has been asking for this letter or a letter from the embassy that lists the assigned MNL #) confirmation page from scheduling interview online at embassy (or if the embassy mails a confirmation letter bring a copy of that) (NVC Instructions Letter is for IR/CR-1 visa), and of course the 2X2 photos. (copy of annulment is asked for and a psychological evaluation could be required if psychological incapacity is listed as the reason in the annulment)

St. Luke's is walk-in, first come first served, there are no appointments.

PREREGISTER at St. Luke's website, it saves time when you arrive. http://www.slec.ph/us/registration/

Information from the embassy about the medical: http://manila.usembassy.gov/wwwh3218.html

The medical is normally a two day process, shots are given on the 2nd day.

~TB sputum notes; If you have to do the culture test, keep close track of the visa validity date (when you receive as it is tied to the initial medical date, so you will be short of the 6 months, you may only have 90 to 120 days before the visa expires.

~TB treatment notes; If you have to do the 6 months of treatment you will have to pay for a second medical at completion.

I always heard you should make an appointment to get your medical 2 weeks before your interview. Hopefully you will be well by then.

There are no appointments to do the medical at SLEC, its walk-in only, first come, first served.
