[helloheyhey 9]

hello guys!

I thank Allah for everything.

Our case is going smoothly and those who are having difficulties are always in my prayers.

I got the email to schedule the appointment date today. I just paid the visa fee online and it says that the earliest interview appointment in on 13th august, in 3 days.

Can I pick it? Does anyone know how long does it take for the medicals to be complete or its mandatory for us to have a space of three weeks betweek medical and interview date?

in the email it states this: Please show up at the panel physician three weeks prior to your interview date.

please help, I want to be as correct as it gets and not end up delaying cuz of mistakes...

Thank you everyone for everything thru wise answers!

God bless you all!

I don't know about your country, but in the Philippines it's not unheard or people doing the medical and interview in a 1-3 day trip to Manila.

My in-laws are from Albania. They came over last year on IR-5 immigrant visas (Parent US Citizen). My mother in law went to one of the doctors with the paperwork about three weeks before the interview. They scheduled the actual exam two days before the interview, but then the doctor called and rescheduled it for the day before the interview. My father-in-law needed further medical review, but was told to go to the interview. The embassy put his case in Administrative Processing until they got the complete medical paperwork.

So yes you could do the entire process less then three weeks before the interview. I would advise you to call one of the doctors to see if they can get you in before the 13th.

Hello dhlunar, thank you for your reply.

I contacted today the Medicals and a lady told me that I may be impossible for you to pick 13th but you can try 20th and we will see. She told me to come tomorrow if I want for the first appointment but the other appointment the doctor schedules it and registers the name as he pleases.

The available dates are 13th and 20th of this month, I was thinking to put 13 and if I can't make it to change it into 20 but I don't know what to do now. Please let me know what do u think I should do. I'm very nervous. Also do ur in laws think they would negotiate in scheduling the second appointment the next day since I chose the 13th already or they don't care about the interview date?

Thank you very much! My regards

I would recommend picking the 20th then. That give you and the doctor more flexibility in case they can't get you in this week. Don't know if the embassy would allow you to go to interview when the entire medical exam will be done after the interview.

Based on what dates are available and what dates I heard people had in the past for immigrant visas, it looks like the embassy only does immigrant visa interviews on Thursday.
