Medical examination without knowing the exact date for the interview

[Izzymael 10]

Hi guys. I want to know your opinion about something. So, after our visa was finally approved in August, now we have to make an appointment at the Embassy. Yesterday they released new dates and they're all for December. Problem is I'm flying to the US to see my fiancé on December 20st, so my appointment at the Embassy must take place after that, ideally in January, when I'm back. On the other hand, you can't schedule a medical appointment before making an appointment at the Embassy. Would it be too impudent of us to make an appointment at the Embassy for December with the intention of rescheduling it? Otherwise, we will have to wait at least two more months and have our medical appointment in January and interview in February, provided there's dates. Our biggest fear is that they don't actually release dates every month and we have to wait even longer. Thank you very much.

Your visa has not been approved in Aug, your petition was.  It is important to understand this in order to get accurate answers.

 

Since the medical has an expiration date, i would be cautious about scheduling a medical to far in advance of the interview because the date of the medical will impact the visa expiration date.

Yes, that's true. We just don't want to wait unnecessarily one more month since the process itself is already draining enough, but perhaps it would be wise to just be patient (again). Thank you for your answer.
