Thank you for the answer! I will be interviewing in Frankfurt, which does allow to do interview first, medical second, from what I know. However, I am not Ukrainian, so none of the special rules and exemptions regarding the consulate process in Frankfurt apply to me, and most Russians are processed in Warsaw, so whatever rules they have in that embassy might not apply to my case either... So I posted in the general forum, hoping to get a bigger sample of answers from different embassies
