SLEC MEDICAL QUESTION

Hi!

Anyone here knows "What is the maximum length of time you can do the medical

at SLEC before the interview?

Thank you!

Well that is sort of a trick answer, the visa validity is tied to the date of the medical so you want to complete the interview with enough time remaining to be able to receive the passport with visa back from the embassy, get the CFO sticker and enter the USA before the validity date.

Why would you want to complete the medical an extended time before the interview?

As Hank alludes above, you have 6 months to the day from the completion of the medical exam to do your POE in the US. At any time past one week (as per the instructions) after the medical, but before 180 days, you can do the interview. (You must allow time for the interview, CFO, and travel, so realistically, I'd say 180 days minus 14~21, to be safe)

If you fail to POE within 180 days of your medical, you must start the process all over again.

.... I did forget to mention the 180 day validity time for the visa. My

Hi and good day!

To Hank and DAvenRoxy, thank you for the quick replies... I appreciate it.

Was curious and wanted to know coz most here talks about the minimum or least

period of time for medical before the interview.. Thank you again...

Don't know that I would go closer than 5 business days. Embassy website states 5-7 days.
