At what point of the IR1 application process is it necessary to receive a medical examination? I thought that a medical examination wasn't required until after the DS-260 was submitted (or until the interview) but there are some questions on the DS-260 that ask about medical status. Also, is "packet 3" just a term for the instructions recieved after getting an I-130 approval notice or is "packet 3" somthing else? And what is "packet 4"? Just want to get some terminology straight. Thanks.

**Moderator hat off**

For China cases, the medical exam is not done until after the interview has been scheduled. "Packet 3" is not applicable and "Packet 4" is nothing more than the letter indicating the interview has been scheduled and the date it will take place.

People often have proof of their vaccinations before filing the DS-260. It's not an issue if you don't and answer no. Just explain that you will recieve any necessary vaccinations at the medical exam.
