If can take 4 to 10 days after the visa status is changed to ISSUED. The amount of time it takes to go to ISSUED varies, as it can be the same day as the interview, or it can be a few weeks after. For my wife it took 3 days to go to ISSUED, and another 4 days to pick up the visa at MOA for a total of 7 days wait after the interview.

Thanks for the info !!!!!.....i just wanted to get an idea ... now i know thanks again..

Please do not purchase anything until you have visa in hand......Golden Rule of VJ

got it thanks

after the interview in manila, how long till my fiancee received her visa? im trying to schedule n buy the air ticket for my fiancee, to see what is the best price for airline ticket.

The Saint Luke's website even clearly suggests that one should wait at least 1 week after your last period before going to your medical exam. That said, there is a chance she can do the medical exam, but may be asked to return one week after her menstrual cycle has completed, as was the case with my wife. She had her x-ray and other examinations done, but asked her to return a week after her period for her pelvic exam.

We read n know the rules...thats y I posted on here to see if any female went during their menstrual period. I wanted to see if we should take a chance.no one gave me aa straight answer except 1 female that got denied n had reschedule..when she replied it was too late. ..my fiance was waiting in line already at st. Luke's

Sometimes people break the rules and get away with it. I have no problem personally with that, and congratualtions for getting away with it as you did. The only problem is others may try it and not be so lucky.

Thank you...it's case to case situation..if u have a chance to reschedule then do it....in my case we didnt have time to reschedule because of my fiance interview date was coming up....so if u r like us waiting over 1 yrs for I129F n sick n tried of waiting then do it!!!!! We luv each very much that we took a chance..

Ok i got u....it's base on case to case situation...in my situation we had to take a chance coz of the interview schedule...we didn't want to reschedule the interview coz no interview slot open for weeks

You got it done, I am happy for you. But please don't offer it as a "way to get the medical done"... please.

Say Ziggy. Re-read my post and you'll see how I phrased the use of the app, I never recommended the app for a irregular menstrual cycles. But, since the app is free and you waited a year.... would be a good time for anyone to practice with the app and see if they can predict the best time to schedule SLEC.

You dodged a bullet. Good luck with the rest of your journey.

Ok thanks man

Guys yes luck was on our side n the lord is looking after us...we pray everday for this to be over with...its going over 1 year now for this I-129F... like I said we took the chance n go for the medical exam...we been waiting for so long, n seeing my fiancee crying almost everyday on Skype while we were waiting USCIS for noa2 just broke my heart...we miss each other so much I went to see her twice in 1 yr...our luv is strong ...

And that is the ELEPHANT in the room!

Your playing Russian Roulette with a loaded gun so to say. If you fail then everything you counted on has exploded in your face. Not something I would do or recommend. Better planning is the better alternative.

BTW.... There are apps that keep track of menstrual cycles. If you are one that is pretty much on time each month this is a tool you have to get. I had two females that I kept track of and we scheduled SLEC according to what the app said. Hit the nail right on the head and passed.

Oh yeah!!!?? tell me n Answer me this, how can u track it if my fiance has eregular period. ..dont judge if u dont know the whole story...wow!!!

I had to do what I had to do because our interview was coming up on Monday on the 22nd of December that is this coming Monday coming up and we had no choice because there's no interview dates available till 3rd week of January we've been patient we waited long enough almost a year just to get this interview we didn't get our notice of action 2 until 11 months we waited long enough

I went to St Lukes when I had my period... I wasn't able to get my physical exam and my Vaccine. I suggest to NOT GO. They will re schedule anyway and it'll take her a day still even though she only have to do Vaccine and Physical.

Update: my fiance pass her medical exam !!!! Yahoooooooo!!!! No urine sample needed..... she was wearing a tampon n went to the bathroom to remove n wipe before the physical exam then just like that she pass !!!!!

The answer is YES u can get ur exam done if you have ur period !!!! Just plan it out like wat I told my fiance to use the bathroom before the exam

Ok guys she is on her way there now in manila..monday she will go for it !!

Pray for her...

Has any woman on VJ experience this on hand??????? Did u go get ur exam while ur on ur period? ??? What happen when u went???? Im not getting a straight answer on here....im gettin mix answer. ..

If I can give you any words of advice I sincerely think that this is something you shouldn't worry about unless you have gotten specific word that they do turn woman back. The medical shouldn't be that intense where a woman's natural body function would interfere in here passing the medical. From my understanding its just vaccinations and a normal physical. If a gender confirmation needs to be made that should be proof enough. She is coming to America not outer space so unless you heard something different don't get yourself worked up. I do understand certain cultures view that topic differently.

Thank u

Raining here in the St. Luke's area today now 1pm and forecasted more rain this afternoon. The street has a lot of water so could be difficult to get around Manila.

ate she will get there tomorrow ...interview monday

Exactly. So if you have no other options, you can try to press your luck and hope it holds up.

I did read one case here of a lady who pushed her luck too far and went there on day 1 of her period. Not much bleeding yet, but enough for them to make her reschedule. The nurse took one look at the urnie sample, saw the blood contamination in it, and the rest was history.

Did her period start yet? Is she in Manila yet? Try going as soon as possible and maybe you can get it in under the wire.

ate she just got it today Saturday now there in manila.. im in chicago .... she is 3hrs away from manila ...i book already booked a hotel for her to stay in manila close to st. lukes for sunday and monday.....

If she goes they will do everything except the urine specimen and the physical exam and make her come back once her period is over for those. You might as well reschedule the whole thing for next week since there is ZERO advantage to getting parts of it done this week and parts next week. They will not send anything to USEM until the whole exam is done.

So yes, do what Hank says and go there once the period is over. If doing that cuts it close in terms of getting it done in time for the interview, tell them that. They have accommodated ladies in the past who were forced to cut it close due to a period and got it all done for them on time.

Hi , did u happen n experience this?coz im getting mix answers on here.other females on here said just go ocz i really depends on the doctor .. I think she should go coz her interview is dec 22nd exactly I week after her medical ...if she reschedule her exam she would also need to reschedule her interview. Its going to throw off our plans....what do u think??? What is the worst can happen when she goes for medical??? They will just say to schedule right? ???

She should just go. I had the last day of my period during my medical in manila and the female doctor still did the quick check up. I think it really depends on the doctor.

Hi I also think she should go coz her interview is dec 22nd exactly I week after her medical ...if she reschedule her exam she would also need to reschedule her interview. Its going to throw off our plans....what do u think??? What is the worst can happen when she goes for medical??? They will just say to schedule right? ???

my fiance is scheduled for her medical exam at St. Luke's in manila this Monday Dec. 15th. she just got her menstrual period this morning . can she still go for the exam on Monday????? or when she get there they will denie her examination and tell her to go home and reschedule ????

thanks in advance
