Expired medical exam Saint Luke's manila

[Coreyj17 0]

Hi has anyone had to re take medical exam due it expiring due to Covid 19. the Us embassy in manila has my spouses passport along with a document we needed to submit.  Saint Luke's in manila said my spouse can retake medical with a valid I'd and a copy of her passport. Just like to verify this before she leaves from her province.  Traveling is a big process there.

Hi, Corey!

 

Yes, my fiancee and I are in exactly the same boat.  Her medical has expired and the embassy currently has her passport. And now, this will be her third time through the medical (ugh!)!  

 

We've already been waiting over four years to be together, but we've decided we're going to have to just ride out the pandemic lockdowns until we are certain we can complete the process without her medical expiring yet again. Our concern is that we could possibly get the medical done again now (with, undoubtedly, a great deal of complication).  But then, if current travel restrictions continue, we may still not be able to bring her here to the USA before the medical expires yet again! 

 

I'd like to hear your thoughts, though.  It sounds like you're willing to take your chances on working through the lockdown travel restrictions if you can get the medical done again?

 

I wish you all the best in any case!

I understand, I gonna go through with medicals even thru this period of lockdowns. The windows are so small now to get it done.  I have to try for my spouse. She deserves it  best of luck to you as well.

I hope everything works out perfectly for you two, Corey!  Please keep us posted here on your progress.  I'm sure that hearing about your success will encourage the rest of us who need a lot of encouragement in this process right now!
