Medical expired - Can I go for a new medical?

[Dustin725 72]

Hello, I am currently in AP at the London embassy. I sent documents back in March to be reviewed. Due to the coronavirus my medical has expired. Do I have to wait for the embassies correspondence before I do a new medical? Can I just go ahead and do a new medical, since I already know it’s what they’ll want?

I wouldn't do it until you know the consulate is open and ready to issue

Remember that your visa, when issued, will expire 6 months from the date of that medical.  I would wait.

Of course! My embassy is resuming visa services on July 27th. I have confidence they will respond within 6 months. I plan on leaving immediately when the visa is issued. So it’s okay for me to go even if the embassy hasn’t asked?

I see no problem if you are willing to take the risk.....

I know in Pakistan the clinic will not schedule a second medical unless you have something from the embassy requesting it.  I would think the clinic could tell you.
