Thanks all. Yes I will post a recap of Elena's experiences at the Embassy and med exam. I am not really worried. Our case is pretty solid and I think we have all our i's dotted and t's crossed...

Hi, just got off the phone with Elena. Her exam at AOM went smoothly. Her appointment was for 8:50am but the doctor was alittle late. She was out by 1pm. They took a blood sample, a chest x-ray , and ask a lot of questions. Pretty routine stuff. She said the doctor and staff were friendly. She has to go back tomorrow after 3pm to pick up her results. Cost was 2600 rubles.

She also went to the small DHL office by the embassy to pay her freight bill for her passport and envelope. She requested they hold the package in Moscow for pickup and the employee there at the small office told her they can't do that. I told Elena to go to the big freight office and explain things to them. This is were she would have to pick up the package anyway. I know it can be done. I am not sure why the DHL employee would tell her otherwise...

You can not have it held at the DHL office next to the Embassy for pickup but you can have it held at the main DHL office downtown and have it sent there and the ones at the DHL office she went to should have known that. (They are the ones who told me that) Probably too late to help you but some others may benefit.

Glad things went well so far. Good luck on the interveiw.

Yeah, this is what I think too. Elena is going to go to the main office tomorrow and see about getting her package held there. Hopefully she won't get any flak from anybody...
