St Luke's Medical Exam

[APHoward01 11]

My wife has her interview Feb 11. so we need to get her medical exam soon i just have too questions. Is it required to get the exam more than two weeks before the interview? Do they put a stamp in your passport at St Luke's to indicate whether you passed the exam or not i have heard both ways? Im wondering cause her passport is expiring in july which isnt enough time to be valid at the interview. she is going to cebu friday to apply new one which we are going to try to have express processed for 10 business days. if wait those days to have the medical exam though will be cutting it close to the interview. So can use her current passport which expiring at medical or do we need to wait for the new passport to arrive.

Hi!

My wife and I are sitting in Manila right now and she just finished her medical exam earlier today. She was given a sealed package with her medical results and a personal copy of her results. Her passport was also stamped.

As for which passport you should use I'm not sure... Perhaps a more seasoned member can chime in.

Best of luck to you!

Embassy states to complete the medical AT LEAST 5-7 days before the interview. Yes SLEC puts a stamp in the passport, but that is not an issue doing the medical with the old passport, when you get the new passport (after your medical) DFA returns the old passport with the new passport. All will be fine.

Use the most current passport for medical. If you have only the "old one" at the medical then that's the one to use. At the interview if you have both then present both and USEM can choose the one they want which I believe will be the new one.

USEM will us the valid passport - old one is cancelled the second the new is issued
