Hi @MikiMo,

If requesting a medical appointment with IOM Kenya, send an email to iomnbomedical@iom.int with your name and confirmation of visa appointment letter.

Example of email body:

"Hello, I am (Insert Name), from (Insert Country). I am requesting a medical appointment at the IOM health assessment center in Girigiri, Nairobi-Kenya. I have attached a scanned copy of my passport and the appointment letter for my (Visa Type) visa scheduled for (Date of Visa Appointment). I am requesting a medical appointment on (Date you want medical).

Thank you both for your responses.

Shu Josh, I just was asking if you have heard of anyone doing a medical exam after their K1 interview.

Although an update, after a bit of pressure IOM was able to help us out and shift us to the week before. Sometimes emailing does help!

Shu Josh, thank you for your response. It does indeed make sense and seems possible! It brings peace as well knowing it will all continue to move on as well, even if a bit clunky.

Have you heard of any cases getting medical pushed after the interview?

Hello all,

My (Ugandan) fiance and I are nearing the K1 Medical and Interview and we had success last month in scheduling our Medical exam with IOM in Nairobi, Kenya on August 19, with her interview following the next week on August 26. After receiving these confirmations of both the Medical exam and Interview, we went ahead and booked our plane flight. We just received a call from IOM today stating they will be closed on Aug 19 and that we needed to reschedule our medical appointment to August 24. Is two days enough for the medical results to reach the embassy? Will she still be able to have her interview and the results may just be delayed based on receiving of the medical results? Any positive input is appreciated. All other input will also be appreciated and taken with a grain of salt 😄. Many thanks.
