Its okay,if youre lucky you can finish it in 1 day or 2..but in my experience i had to wait for two months for the culture since my xray didnt went well,so i need to cancel my first appointment, but anyways,i wish you big luck.dnt forget to pray it will help.

Embassy likes for the medical to be completed AT LEAST A WEEK BEFORE the interview, I know some that do the interview a month before the interview. Doing the medical too close to the interview will only cause a short delay if the file from SLEC has not made it to USEM and matched up with your case file before the interview. Either way, nothing to worry too much about.

One to two weeks prior to your medical is the best. If you do it earlier, keep in mind that the validity of the visa is only 6 months and the clock starts clicking from your medical date and not your interview date. For some this is not a concern but for others it can pose a problem.

Is it ok to have medical 3-4weeks?

Yes, it is OK to complete the medical 3-4 weeks early. Just remember, pay attention to the visa validity date when you get it.

[Rissa92 1]

Ok,so how long is the visa validation?

[Hank_ 9,173]

Ok,so how long is the visa validation?

Maximum of 6 months, from the date of the medical.

[Rissa92 1]

So i have to arrive in US before 6months?
