Enough time between Exam and Interview?

[PIRuby 9]

We are booked for St Luke's on January 22nd an Interview is January 25th, will that be enough time? They were not booking interviews on Fridays, so this was our best choice. Has anyone done an exam on Monday morning and interviewed on Thursday. We are a family of 5 on W1/W2 visas.

It cutting it close but should be ok if everything goes well.  Theoretically results are transmitted electronically the same day, or the next day if Saint Luke's doesn't get around to it right away.  There is always the risk that someone gets tagged for sputum testing and I'm not sure if the IGRA test shortage has been resolved yet or will have been resolved by then for the children younger than 15.

So they don't give you a packet to take to interview anymore?

Everything is transmitted to the embassy electronically.  Saint Luke's only gives a sheet listing listing vaccinations.  The embassy doesn't even need that but hang on to it because your children will probably need it to enroll in school in America.

Nope, nor will you have a package to hand carry to the US port of entry
